Google Drive changed the way of managing files

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

One notable feature of Google Drive is its offline editing, which is dependable and well-implemented, making it user-friendly and effective.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the search feature it offers because it looks for both the file name and its contents, making it possible to find what we are looking for quickly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Offline mode is useful but sometimes unreliable.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have decided to go with Google Drive, then I recommend using its free version, which offers 15 GB of space for you. Once you are familiar with its features, you go for the full version or a paid plan of it.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

My files are safe

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Drive's encryption is better than iCloud's for keeping private information safe. It's where I keep important work on my computer.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AES 256-bit encryption locks my clients' contracts, which is required by law. To make links even safer, like for formal documents, I can set passwords for them. The vault keeps files for checks, which protects me.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is no zero-knowledge encryption, so I encrypt very important things on the outside. One time, I was worried that shared links didn't have a built-in lock, and a client opened an old file. The support bot was slow and sent me to FAQs that didn't help me.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Drive's security is strong enough to keep your files safe, but you can add your own for top secrets.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
  • Over Delivered
  • Security Protects
