A convenient way to store and share files.

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Drive is very useful especially when you are using the entire Google workspace. If you are using Google Docs, Slides, and Gmail, then Google Drive integrates well with those apps.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's extremely useful for collaboration. It is easy to share files and choose the person we want to add either for viewing only or for editing the file.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The interface is not very clear and the search options are limited.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Drive allows sharing all types of information with anyone with convenience. It's also better because the material can be easily integrated into the email. The protection is also excellent since you can monitor who views the information and what steps they are allowed to take. It also has a strong choice for data organization. Google Drive is ideal for exchanging huge files between members of a team collaborating on a project.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Efficient Service
  • Helps Innovate

Best Encrypted collaboration tool

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

A secure end-to-end encrypted file synchronization and collaboration tool called Google Drive is designed to safeguard sensitive information. The real benefit of Google Drive is that, upon cloud file download, only the owner can decrypt the file's contents; other users cannot. Google Drive features a unique feature that allows sharing of encrypted data without having to re-encrypt it; this distribution can be stopped by revoking permission.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The most secure cloud storage option is Google Drivee, which is user-friendly. You don't have to be aware that it is operating in the background when you don't want it to. However, if the data needs to be recovered, it may be used on any platform and becomes highly robust. But the most important aspect might be how much focus is placed on security. It took me some time to enter all my personal data there, but it has been secure even since then.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Despite extensive troubleshooting, it still doesn't sync or work like a drive inside the computer on Mac. I must download, edit, save, and then re-upload the file to make changes. I use my computer because this is a massive waste of time. This support is long delayed and would be an excellent addition.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is entirely secure and runs quietly in the background. It's simple to set up which folders should be backed up, and file access works equally well on desktop and mobile devices. Real-time synchronization provides constant confidence. I always have access to a copy of it through the cloud.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

A perfect place to store information

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Drive, a cloud-based, secure content collaboration and file synchronization service allows us to transmit crucial information confidently and has been created especially for our specific business use case. The program may make shared folders, transfer their contents securely before doing so, and then upload the securely encrypted file to the cloud.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Our team members can access documents using Google Drive's outstanding platform for cloud document storage from wherever in the office, whether they are physically present or working remotely. It is easy to use and share with others. We haven't seen any security issues and think storing our data on the cloud is safe. It does exactly what it should: backs up your data in a secure location and encrypts it. It may also run in the background and is reasonably easy to set up.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When I upload pictures and videos, they occasionally duplicate, freeze, or have issues completing them and become stuck. Sometimes when you reopen after closing, it simply continues. Only a few files were occasionally posted until it ceased. I must delete what has been submitted and try again to prevent duplicates.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The most crucial element was that data is encrypted both on the way to and while on the server itself—the only method to guarantee security. In this way, nobody can access the content, not even the server owner. Because we are an accounting firm with many client information, we need a safe and secure storage facility.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
