Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive

We use Drive for storing all of our documents, creating spreadsheets and decks, and collaborating on all documents, sheets, etc. We sometimes share Drive folders with clients to collaborate externally as well. I also use Drive for my personal and educational documents/materials and storage. I use Google Drive daily.

Pros

  • Collaboration/sharing
  • Folders/organization
  • Easy to create/generate new docs, etc.
  • All in one place

Cons

  • Better search; it's hard to find the docs I need when the search isn't very accurate or intuitive
  • Increased storage
  • Easier to copy docs and transfer them to other accounts
  • Drive is very cost effective, and multiple price tiers make sense and are accommodating
Simple and organized interface for the most part. I certainly prefer Google Drive to MS Office Suite and prefer docs to Word many times over. What could definitely improve is file search, and the home screen could be more intuitive as well, with recent files displayed, etc. I find that the search and recent isn't very accurate.

Do you think Google Drive delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Drive's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Drive live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google Drive go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Google Drive again?

Yes

Great for personal and educational use and for a small workload. It can get confusing and tricky when using for a large team or enterprise, or when a lot of data sharing is necessary as file and folder organization can get messy and the search function does not work well so it's difficult to find files.
