I adore how simple it is to use and how seamlessly file sharing is included. The product's quality is excellent considering its price.
It's difficult to utilize if your internet connection is poor or unstable. You likewise need to keep the Google Drive tidy or you can end up with loads of futile untitled reports in your documents.
What I like most about google docs is that it allows me to organize information, notes, records, and more in an easy and seamless manner. I also likes that it integrates onto different devices.
The problems begun with missing functions (bookmarks and referencing them), missing formatting and image placing.
What I love about google docs is the ease of storing documents in the cloud that can be accessed, edited, and shared anywhere at anytime. I also love that there is no cost.
Sometimes I find when I am using the program it often lags a little when I end up typing too fast, which can sometimes also cause the webpage to crash, which is a little disappointing.
If you already familiar with other Google's software, using Google Docs will be an easy transition. It is really easy simple, quite good accessible and have user friendly interface.
When my internet is bad, it get stuck and I can’t type anymore. When you live in the mountains thats frustrated sometimes.
The ability to collaborate and share specific documents or full folders is fantastic. The amount of storage for free is fantastic and if you need more space the price is affordable.
I was using thumb drives and external hard drives to store my files to have access to them on the go, but they always fail at some point and if I didn't have a back up copy the files were lost.
The software is very good as it has the signature Google interface which means everything is very understandable and intuitive. It integrates wonderfully with the rest of Google's ecosystem.
The only trouble I've had with Google Drive has to do with the windows software which has caused me some problems.
Google drive is extremely easy to use, their collaborations features are amazing, the fact that everything is immediately saved on the cloud is the best.
I hate the lack of file organization. It looks like a mess and difficult to find documents.
As part of Google products, Drive is a must for everyone's work and personally. Outstanding and even giving you free storage which you can enlarge if you want and when you need to.
As with all Google products: bad support, lack of continuous improvements, lack of basic features, and horrible UI for the advanced features.
Jeb B.: Hi. My name is Jeb. I'm the owner of a small business and I give Google Docs five out of five stars. So before I had Google Docs and we're talking many, many years ago, it was before everything was in the cloud. We had used Microsoft Word and just the ability to work in the cloud made such a huge difference for us. So we chose Google Docs because, I mean, for starters it was free and that was back in the day when you'd have to pay to use Microsoft Word and so we wanted to give Google Docs a try, again, because it was free. But also it was in the cloud and we didn't have to use space up on our computer to save documents. So getting started with Google Docs was super easy. It was the same as using any other similar Microsoft Word style program. It just jumped in with both feet and it was a piece of cake. So just jump in with both feet for Google Docs. It's super simple to use. Anyone who can use a computer in this day and age can use Google Docs. It's a no-brainer.
Diego: My name is Diego, and I work with Youth With A Mission. We're 16 people on staff, and my rating on Google Drive is a four. We use Google Drive to share documents, share information with each other, follow up on projects or specific tasks that we have. So Google Drive is very useful for that purpose. Yeah, I love Google Drive because it allows us to connect with each other. Very easy. It's super easy to navigate, so I think Google Drive is very... There's different apps within or different interfaces within Google Drive that you're able to share documents, and it makes it easy just to work together as a team. One thing I wish that Google Drive would have is... just so it's more compatible with Office documents, like Word and Excel. I know there's their versions in Google, but I wish there's an easy way to make those compatible, easier to navigate. And I also wish there would be maybe plans of storage that are a little bit cheaper. Sometimes they can be a little expensive, but other than that, Google Drive is very useful.
