Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive
Google Drive is our main cloud storage tool at Lumen Studio. It addresses the availability of footage, resources and digital assets for creative projects. Enhances the organization remote capabilities and makes the collaboration with international clients/freelancers possible. The scope of our use is it works as a secondary storage besides our main physical one and we currently use the 2+TB service.

Even though AWS provides a very similar service, Google Drive presents a much easier, cleaner and more user friendly platform (both through explorer or desktop app). Contrary to AWS where each collaborator needs to have a specific set of credentials to access the storage, Drive simplifies this process by enabling admins to invite google/gmail profiles to a specific folder or file, saving the whole proces of creating new profiles and credentials for new agents. Google customer Support is also in my experience much more attentive, quickly addressing any issues you might find using their service.
