Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience, Google Drive is one of the most intuitive and inexpensive cloud storage options available today. The pricing is more than fair, considering the amount of storage that is offered in the different packages. The mobile app works well with my iPhone, and I am comfortable that my data is safe and secure, with the storage solution being a Google product. The only problem I have encountered, and perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I can not copy and paste folders that contain subfolders.
