Google Drive is unbeatable!
Beoordeeld op 28-1-2023
Google drive has been my favourite right from my college days. The tool is very handy to share documents, images, etc. You can create multiple folders and segregate your files as well.
Pluspunten
You can use Google Drive as a cloud storage to save any type of files - images, videos, documents, etc. One can share these files with anyone with the help of just a link. You can also manage control of whom to share what.
Minpunten
Google drive is unbeatable. There is no downside that I can think of.

An essential online drive
Beoordeeld op 25-1-2023
Pluspunten
The security of this drive is the best feature, and it gives us a built-in option to protect ourselves from spam and malware, which is a great feature to have because it allows us to share, access, and manage our files with great confidence. On the other hand, I also like the ability to recover lost or deleted files from the archive folder, which is a really great feature that lets me recover any old data.
Minpunten
The thing I despise the most is Google Slides. It's a fantastic alternative, but in my case it's not functioning well. It's difficult to construct a PowerPoint presentation using this feature, and it's also slow when presenting to others, so I wish it worked better.

Google drive review by Jen
Beoordeeld op 31-1-2023
Pluspunten
The product is very easy to use. Google Drive actually has automatic backup and shareable links. Personal accounts normally cost nothing and business or large capacity accounts are on the low end of the pricing spectrums.
Minpunten
Upon opening a second account and attempting to upload years of accumulated receipts and documents I was informed that only a limited number of files may be uploaded per 24 hr period. In everyday life this isn't a concern but in certain circumstances it may become problematic.Working with Google offline isn't always a happy experience.

Review for Google Drive
Beoordeeld op 28-1-2023
Google Drive. Google Drive is a widely-used cloud storage and document management service that offers a variety of features and benefits to users. It allows users to easily store and access documents in the cloud, collaborate and share documents with others, and enjoy robust security
Pluspunten
Easy storage and access of documents in the cloud, allowing for access from anywhere with an internet connection.Robust security features, such as encryption and two-factor authentication, to protect stored documents from unauthorized access.
Minpunten
Limited storage capacity for free accounts, which may not be sufficient for users with large amounts of data.

Thought of storage and sharing, thought of Google Drive.
Beoordeeld op 25-1-2023
To use all the features of Google Drive, it is necessary to use the internet. However, nowadays the internet is our greatest ally, with that, only the free space is the villain, because it runs out too quickly.
Pluspunten
I really like the security in sharing/accessing my data through Google Drive. Being able to access from wherever you want, restrict access, offline access, security, among others.
Minpunten
In addition to the fact that Google Drive needs the internet for its full operation, there is no item missing or that makes me fearful regarding the use/sharing of my data.

Best in the industry
Beoordeeld op 30-1-2023
Overall, I am a very satisfied user of the product and will continue to recommend it.
Pluspunten
I love google drive. It helps our organization easily share files and collaborate on projects. We can add different users to different documents, and it makes our fully remote organization feel smaller. All the power of Microsoft products with better sharing features.
Minpunten
Sometimes the pre loaded permissions can be a little bit weird, and I wish there was a table of contents auto generated.

All in One Place
Beoordeeld op 26-1-2023
I have been using Google drive for many years. Within the last few years, I purchased more space to move everything over from another cloud storage because it was easier and less expensive.
Pluspunten
I like the idea that I can keep all of my files in one place and access them from any computer anywhere.
Minpunten
Sometimes files get lost in the mix and are hard to find.

Review of Google Drive
Beoordeeld op 25-1-2023
I'm pleased with how this tool has been used overall and the excellent support provided. This disc also enables me to exchange files with just a single click and via chat. Consequently, I've had fantastic success with this tool altogether.
Pluspunten
Google Drive has some excellent features including Automatic Backup, Content Publishing Options, Data Storage Management, Sharing options with outside organization people, advance search features, drag, and upload are one of some important features which attract me to use google drive.
Minpunten
There are some cons, but hope google will review it and will work to improve the File Size Limits, Downloading and Uploading Speed

Google Drive versus OneDrive.
Beoordeeld op 27-4-2022
Overall my experience has been good with Google Drive, but Microsoft's Office 365 with 1 TB of cloud storage was an offer I could not refuse. I will continue to use OneDrive in the future.
Pluspunten
I like to Google Drive for several years. Like everyone, I was automatically backing things up to the cloud, important things like photos videos, and of course important documents. I am grateful for its use over the years but...
Minpunten
Now that they have limited the space for free, and they charge significantly more than some other platforms that I trust, I am no longer willing to invest in upgrading to more storage.

Great for File Sharing and File Loss Protection
Beoordeeld op 7-4-2020
The overall ease of access and sharing on Google Drive makes work easier. Files are protected, easy to organize, and easy to access. Having essential media files backed up in case of a computer crash is paramount to the protection of hours of work as a musician. Losing hours of work is devastating and attempting to recreate the material from scratch is extremely difficult. Every musician knows it is essential to back up your files!
Pluspunten
Google Drive is a service that gives you a large amount of free space (15 gigabits) and additional storage for a monthly fee. As a musician, I upload files onto Google drive to share to my bandmates and anyone in the world. Beings that media files are typically large, the benefit of a large amount of storage for a small fee is a great value. This service also gives me peace of mind that my files will stay safe in the event of a computer crash (files stay on the cloud). I can share access to my Google Drive so the rest of my band can access entire folders of files.
Minpunten
The compression of the files can lower the quality of the media.

Secure and Sync All Files in a Single Drive
Beoordeeld op 28-2-2021
Google Drive has never failed me and has been saving me every time I need a copy of a certain file. I just have to check it online and the files I'm looking for or the ones lost in my hard memory are available in Drive. Now, I always tend to save separate copies online so I never have to worry. Most importantly, I have the option to share and connect them on my personal platforms.
Pluspunten
Anyone on the internet can secure or save a copy of their own files and sync them in computers or mobiles through Drive. There's a My Drive section containing all the uploaded files of its user and under it is Shared With Me containing all the files shared to the same user. There's a Team Drives section when subscribed to Google Workspace comprising for organized filing of team projects/ works.
Google Drive is the most popular and easy-to-use storage solution— for documents that we need to access anywhere online. Its ever prevailing presence on the internet is strong, in line with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Photos, Calendar, and so on, that many people still prefer this file saving and syncing tool. It's also the most convenient since a lot of people online are signed in to their Google Accounts every day.
I've been essentially using Drive for backup purposes, remote file management, and for the accessible viewing of digital files. I can also collaborate with contacts readily using its in-app or add-on tools, like for grammar edits, tracks, and translations. When clicking a file or folder, details and activity can be seen along with the views, comments, and edits from people I choose to have access to. A file will update automatically when I upload a file with the same name as the original. I can also opt to go back to the file's earlier upload versions. I haven't experienced a data breach thus far, since they always provide security notices.
Minpunten
The 'Make available offline' option for mobile access of files is very useful when I'm not connected to the internet, but I hope the offline functionality will be made available for PCs too. Unlike OneDrive, Google Drive isn't linked to my personal hard drive or my Windows, perhaps, I must get the desktop app or always stay online.
The control for share and links needs further improvement. The automated sharing link of a file/folder is long and uneditable, only the 'Restricted' and 'Anyone with the link' are the options in the link-sharing and they both require Google Accounts, the deletion and accidental transfer of file is also bound to happen if people who have access are assigned to 'edit' file/folder.
I personally think that the interface is all over the place and is not as compact and elegant as Box App. The Google One plans are also pricey, considering the consistent payment for limited terabytes of file storage. But if safekeeping digital files while online, collaborating with colleagues seamlessly, and querying for professional support is of great importance to you, the upgrade will be worthy.

Most impactful software for a small business
Beoordeeld op 21-3-2021
Google Drive is being used to share and edit documents between employees of a small company. It is an excellent product.
Pluspunten
Google Drive does many things well. 1) Using "Backup and Sync," Google Drive allows for synchronization between a Windows folder and the Drive website and phone app. 2) Google Drive seamlessly integrates with Windows as a directory without the need to open an app or website. 3) Documents can be shared and edited with multiple users concurrently.
Minpunten
There is a difficulty in managing shared documents in Windows. When a document is shared by someone else with you, it appears in the "Shared with me" section in the Google Drive website or app. However, it does not appear in the Google Drive directory on Windows. That means that I am forced to use the website or app for those files. This is a frustrating limitation.

One of the best cloud storage solutions
Beoordeeld op 13-1-2021
We used it to organize our comics and files related to our office. It helped us keep all the files generated daily neatly organized and accessible to everyone who needs to see them.
Pluspunten
I liked the clean UI and the ease of organizing my files. It was a breeze to share my files with anyone in the office.
Minpunten
The search function could be improved with more options, sometimes it was rather hard to find files when the shared folder grew too big.

An exquisite cloud storage platform.
Beoordeeld op 14-7-2022
Overall my experience with Google drive has been wonderful and I'm quite pleased with its performance for business use and personal use.
It's so convenient that we don't need to set up extra accounts or learn to use a whole new brand.
Google drive is an affordable and effective cloud storage solution. It can hold large files and different file types.
However, if you need extra security this product may not be the one for you.
Pluspunten
I most enjoyed the reasonable price for business plans compared to other products. You get a much better value for money especially for the amount of storage space.
Google Drive is the most easy to use cloud storage software that I have experience with. Every function I use only takes a few (or one) simple steps.
If you ever do need help it's quite easy to find answers online or you can contact customer support.
It's very simple to share from Google drive as well. Again it's just a few simple steps.
Personally I like all Google products and I enjoy the way all of them are set up.
Minpunten
While it's great overall, Google drive just lacks some of the more advanced features that are provided by its competitors. I would like to see more business tailored tools and customization.
Tragically, Google Drive just isn't up to par on security and encryption levels for us. We handle documents that need to be kept in a very secure (and reliable) place.
When we revised our goals for security and privacy we had to ditch Google Drive.

The most integrated online solution for document management
Beoordeeld op 15-7-2022
We have been using Google Drive for more than ten years now and we couldn't have been more pleased. It allows us to store and share files and documents securely, it helps us collaboratively work on documents, and we can have all our files (e.g. GDocs, GSheets and even Gforms, among others), in one place.
The search function is really fast and efficient, making use of Google's advanced AI algorithms, allowing us to retrieve files quickly without having to browse through a folder's structure.
Pluspunten
First things first, Google Drive is free, at least its first tier, which is more than sufficient for most users. The storage available can be used for document storage, file storage and shared with Google Photos, to name a few.
Second, I love the integration between Google drive and the GSuite which allows the organization Docs, Sheets etc. in an easy way. The online editing of files by multiple users is essential for us, as it saves us time, we always work on the latest version of the document and we do not need to share the latest version via emails.
The collaboration and sharing options are clear and sufficient, and files can be easily organized in folders (with custom colors!), adding tags and descriptions etc.
Then there is the integration with other apps: for example you can use viewers for (pre)viewing different types of files online, without leaving GDrive.
Last but not least, Google Drive is secure, based on Google's secure infrastructure, always updated and without the risk of having your files deleted or disappear.
Minpunten
It is hard to find anything negative about Google Drive. It is free (the basic plan), has plenty of features and provides seamless integration with GSuite.

Drive Drives you crazy
Beoordeeld op 13-5-2020
Drive is good for storaging things on your phone or computer. For backuping up information or data its top to none.
So if something happens to your harddrive or External you know your things are safe. It also has a Auto Backup feature that can be used on the phone side of things. I looked and I had pictures from old phones back in 2015 I didnt even know backed up to Drive. I was a happy person looking at that stuff.
So it's good in that aspect. But for group projects. I remember my boss sharing his files with me for beginners training.
But it's functionality on project group side is not as practical as Dropbox or I-Cloud in my experience of it. They may have improved over the years.
Pluspunten
I like that you can upload your files to Drive and storage things on it. It saves space on the phone and potentially on the computer. It has a Auto-Backup feature that works perfectly so you don't have to manually store things to it.
Minpunten
It's very disorganized compared to other storage platforms. With dropbox you can create folders and everything is accessible neatly. And while drive does categorize things by dates . It doesnt necessarily allow you to organize everything by project or category. If it does it's not as easy to do as other platforms. Although I havent used the software consistantly in over 3 years.
For example: I'm doing edits for some flyers.
Some edits are finalized so I wanna put them into a finalized folder. Other edits are in-Progress so I wanna put those into a "In-Progress folder" While others might be for another persons project on my team.
They may very well have those features but it wasn't very clear on how to do it. They should have pop-up and tutorials when you first download the software to give people ideas on how to get the most outta their software.
Most times I found myself scrolling through Hundreds and hundreds of videos and photos just to find the one I was looking for.
Also it takes up alot of space on your phone. I remember having google drive and it took over 700MB of space this was about 3 years ago. It was alot to deal with so eventually I took it off my phone. But still used it for recieving shared files on my computer from my boss. I didnt like the functionally of it after using other platforms of equal capacities.

The absolute best free cloud storage perod
Beoordeeld op 5-12-2019
My overall experience with google drive has been So awesome tat words can not describe I cant without exaggeration put a number on how many times there were things that I thought were lost forever and low and behold I go into my google drive looking for something down the line and there it is like a diamond in the rough just waiting to be uncovered. Google If I could shake your hand for every time you made my life easier or brought myself joy because my resume was on my account or something like that my hand would be in pain by the end I tilt my hat and raise my glass say this cheers for you thank you google for changing all our lives in so many positive ways
Pluspunten
What is there not to like its free cloud storage, it connects to everything because google is everywhere, it is useful in 101 ways and some and oh yeah did I say it was free. Every time I think I have figured out all the ways that I can use this to make my life more efficient, and bringing my time management up another notch i discover another use for it. just another real life example ironically enough it was only a few hours ago, for college classes I had to edit a document and input my my own personal info well I had a hold up google docs wasn't excepting my file format directly but it would through a 3rd party trusted software input 102nd use for google drive. A life saver is exactly what that was, another our huge use would be our phones would be over loaded fairly instant if we didn't utilize google drive or what would we do when we drop the phone into water that puddle or left our phone at the outing with your friends you know where all those contacts are that are backed up that giving you the little bit of comfort knowing not all is lost and giving that little bit of comfort makes all the difference in a time like that

Drive is great for the SPED teacher
Beoordeeld op 20-12-2018
Classroom-based teacher
Pluspunten
Google Drive is an integral tool for a Special Education teacher. If you haven't made the jump , then you should personally start exploring all that it has to offer. Here's why I like it:
First off, let's consider why it's the cloud-based advantages of Drive. Items are stored in the cloud and can be accessed anytime, anywhere, with any any device. I can look at my laptop, tablet, phone, etc. and still access the files I need in a moment's notice. Beyond that, when you work with Drive, it's always being saved automatically in the cloud. Plus, I never have to worry about my computer dying, a program shutting down unexpectedly, or losing a thumb drive. It's always backed up in the cloud for me.
Now for a SPED teacher perspective, because of the reasons I mentioned earlier, I can do a voice recording for an oral exam, store it to drive, and share it with students. They would then have access to listen to the oral exam any time! I don't have to re-read the same exam 4 times in a day and then again if a student missed. It's just saved on Drive and students can listen at their own pace and when they need it. If you work with Drive, you also have access to the G Suite platform of tools (Docs, Slides, Forms, etc.). Because of this, you don't have to worry about students losing/misplacing items - it can all be stored, shared, and turned in on Drive.
I'll keep this post limited to Drive, but I also recommend checking out the other Google tools (Docs, Classroom, etc.).
Minpunten
No real cons, honestly. There's a steep learning curve at first, but most of us are starting to become familiar with the idea of things being stored in the "cloud," so that's not really a reason for concern. Google may not always personally offer the greatest support (it's good - not great), but there are also tons of great videos on YouTube to learn how to work with Drive. Another concern is that since it's Google they are always tinkering with things and updating features. Some may not like this because things change over the course of a year, but I don't think it's really a con. They're just trying to improve their platform!

Collaboration is easy with Google Drive
Beoordeeld op 18-1-2020
Overall, I am happy with using Google Drive. It helped me and the teams I've been working with organize better, collaborate easier and share files flawlessly.
Pluspunten
Google Drive is the storage application used within the Google ecosystem. I use it to easily share documents and files with the people I work with. The application supports files created from within itself (Sheets, Docs, etc) or files that are uploaded by the user. In the first case, the file is created instantly and ready to work with, in the case of a user upload, it does depend on the file size but I would say it becomes available pretty fast also.
I would consider Google Drive a meta-application because, in the case of working with other Google Products from within Drive, it's a wrapper that offers aditional functionalities like commenting on files, seeing who is online and working and facilitates direct messaging.
Organizing files and sharing them is pretty easily done also - it uses folders and it is always possible to see who has access to what, to restrict access to 'view only' or to take it out entirely.
The application is practically available everywhere - web, desktop, tablet and mobile (both iOS and Android).
Minpunten
On the downside, it uses the storage within your Google account, which is shared with other applications (and, in my experience, e-mails that have a lot of attachments take quite a lot of space). Aditional space is, though, available with the payed version which would make this downside non-existant.
Another downside is that the application requires internet access at all times in order to fully function. There can be situations where, if the internet connection is lost, the same file can be duplicated with different changes made in each of them.

My first cloud storage experience would never have been better than this!
Beoordeeld op 15-5-2022
I am using both the personal and professional tiers of this product. My work email ID allows me to use the organization tier on the drive with unlimited storage capacity. whereas my personal email id gives me 15 GBs of free storage. I use to Drive for almost all activities at my work. It also helps me keep track of edits made by my colleagues. Personally, I love the fact that albums shared by others on our drive will not consume our storage. It helps avoid duplication and double spending on resources.
Pluspunten
I really love this easy and straightforward cloud storage provided by Google Drive, I never realized it when I got addicted to it. You get 15Gbs of free storage with each Gmail Id, isn't it amazing? It comes with useful apps like Google sheets, slides, and docs for free. You can share photos, documents, and files with so many roles with privacy. It helped me store my important files as safely as having them in my heart. Thanks to the vision of Drive. And the best feature is the drag and move gestures that feel like we are using our local file system on the computer. Amazing product!
Minpunten
I have literally found no cons about this product. In each criterion, it will outperform. Even with the comparison with its rivals, all others provide only 5GB. But I will suggest one feature that is not yet seen. Folders must have password protection. No doubt that the user-level access management is best, but an added layer of security is always welcomed.
