Google Drive reviews

HIermee heb je al je bestanden overzichtelijk. Zowel werk als prive kan mooi gescheiden worden.

Omdat je veel bestanden hebt, moet je wel goed mapjes maken anders zijn ze lastig te vinden als een bestand ouder is. Bij de zoekfunctie leest hij titels en geen tekst.

Snel en gemakkelijk delen van documenten met mede studenten etc. Samen aan documenten werken.

Soms chaos doordat iedereen documenten kan bewerken.

Google Drve heeft een ruime opslag waarin je je bestanden georganiseerd kwijt kan.

Je moet veel verwijderen om meer ruimte vrij te maken.

Gebruiksvriendelijke software, makkelijk voor het opslaan van bestanden

Geen min punten voor dit programma. Soms heb je alleen meer opslag nodig

Het werkt ontzettend makkelijk. Het is handig dat je tegelijk met anderen kan werken en dat je op alle plekken de documenten kan openen. Bovendien heeft het veel opslagruimte.

Het zou fijn zijn als er meer opties zijn voor de opmaak van bestanden zoals in Word.

I like that Google Drive is the software and has the ability to manage and take a look at documents like Google slide presentations and documents from Google Docs.

There's not much I dislike or hate on Google Docs. Feelings are mutual and good with using Google Drive today

I've been using Google drive in my work for over 10 years and I'd be lost without it. It is the easiest way to share files, collaborate on documents, keep digital records and organise projects and or teams that I can think of. We'd be lost without it.

Honestly I can't find a fault to it, it's the ultimate suit of tools to run and organise your business, and since we started working remotely in 2020 it has been even more valuable.

Google drive makes it easy to host, move, and share large files with my clients

I wish it was more widely used as some clients block it on their end

Getting the task done easier which helps save time

Sometimes im busy and cant open on the fly

Google drive is good in all my offline and online works and is also suitable for me.

Google Drive is useful for all my purposes and all its features are good, I have not seen anything not to like in it yet.

What I like about Google Drive is that it is easy to use, the storage capacity is very adequate, and the ease of sharing files regardless of their size

Honestly, everything is good in Google Drive

The ease of file sharing, the cloud storage

Not being about to use password protection

Compared to other similar programs, sharing files with other users of the same program was relatively simple for me, for the most part.

Certain types and file sizes of the files that I tried to upload and then share on Google Drive did not work for me and for some of my other coworkers.

To start with, Google Drive offers a free 15 GB plan. Google Drive is very easy to use. You can sync files/folders on your desktop or even access files remotely from the website app. Most Android phones come with Google Drive already build into the phone so it makes it more convenient to access.

Google Drive has beyond simple cloud storage, with its integrated Google Docs office suite. Google Docs is a browser-based and includes word processor (Docs), spreadsheet (Sheets) and presentation (Slides) software. The suite, which is free to use and works with Google Drive.

Within Google Docs, you can collaborate with others in near real-time with options like suggested edits and comment. You can also view revisions that others have made and rollback to previous file versions if you don't like something you see. File versioning is available for non-Docs files, too. Deleted files are also kept indefinitely, moved to the trash until you delete them there.

What I least like about Google Drive is related to it collaboration and sharing capabilities. For instance, if you share a folder with someone it's functionality is rather broad. You don't have specific links that only last a certain time or give the user limited time to access the file. I can be easy to lose track of the various links you've sent out and how has permission.

I wish they had a notification system like Dropbox does for collaboration. If you are working with a team and someone uploads a file you can set it to notify you when the file arrives. Where in Google Drive this doesn't happen. Unless I am unaware of a third party app that allows this to happen.

I also feel it could transfer files faster. It's not a problem with smaller files but larger files do take a long time!

Google Drive is such a generous Cloud based storage platform. My university had a partnership with Google Drive granting us unlimited storage, but even when that has been taken away, I've never felt pressed for space. It's so much more than storage though, as the integration between all of the other Google Suite platforms and email is seamless and simple. Organization is quick and easy, and you can create folders and view edits/make shares with little effort. I share pictures with other members of my family, and it's easy to upload photos directly into a Drive folder and then share with whomever. The uploads are quick, and the massive amount of available storage means that I don't have to pick and choose. Preservation is also something I'm trying to get better at, and having my documents on the Drive, even if they're duplicates of what I have on my computer, makes me feel better prepared in the event of a dreaded computer crash. I also like that it is part of my computer files window, making it easy to drag and drop files straight to the Drive without having to manually upload them on the site. Bonus: The App is really user friendly and its easy to view the documents using the App if you're on the go.

The App makes it quite difficult to make actual edits to documents, but is great for simply viewing. I just wouldn't rely on the App to replace the desktop version (it seems like that is where the expectations of apps are going these days). The softwares within Google Drive, such as Google Sheets or Google Docs, do have better counterparts out there (aka their Microsoft equivalents). However, for the average user, and when you factor in the ease and accessibility provided by Drive in bringing them all together into one interface, it makes it worth it by far.

I work as a part time online English Tutor. Google Drive has been one (among the many) FREE online program that I use to teach. Here are the things that I like about it.
1. Enables one to save files (documents, photos, videos, audio files) other than your computer hard drive. It's like a back up storage just in case your PC crash. I do not store any documents with sensitive information though.
2. I can access my files anywhere I am as long as I have internet connection.
3. Allows me to sync across devices.
4. I can share documents to others. I used Google Drive to host some PDF lesson materials for my online tutoring. I just give the link to my students and they can view the PDF file. There is no need for them to download the material.
5. I can also store some video files. Google Drive does not only store, but host it as well. I will just include the link in my document. Student clicks on the link, and watch the videos. Google Drive used to host my audio files too (for listening exercises) but for some reason, it stopped. I have to download a third party audio software since then.

For some reason, Google Drive stopped hosting my audio files directly. Whenever I try to open the link, it tells me to download a third party audio software. If it is just me, I wont mind, but some of my students are not technical. And they shun to anything that will require them to download due to fear of malwares and virus.

I've been using Google Drive for a couple of years now and it never failed on me. Everything works as expected. The new interface is easier to work with than the previous one. The layout is cleaner and it's easier to find what you need. It's very well integrated with its other services such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Photos etc.

File sharing is great, made really simple. Just right-click on any file or folder and select the option to share that file. That's it. You can easily upload or create a new file by clicking the big white button "New" in the top left area of the screen.

The mobile app works very well and you can browse your files easily. The desktop app makes a real folder on your computer with all the files that you have on Google Drive, making file changes (copy, cut, paste, delete, rename, etc) just like you do on locally stored files.

I haven't had any technical issues so far, but when my colleagues had trouble, the support team was always helpful and very quick to fix any issues.

If you use google drive for work with your work account and also have google drive for your personal account, the desktop app is not currently supporting multiple users. You are forced to be signed in with just one of them and use the web browsing version for the other account(s). It's frustrating that it so easy to switch between users on the web, but you can't do that on your desktop. Other than this, nothing comes to mind.
