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.

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.
