Data Visualization Staff Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best cloud storage service for personal files" November 7, 2025 5.0 Although I've been using Box and Dropbox in the past, Google Drive remains the favorite choice for all my personal files. The fact that I can access the files from any device - mobile, tablet, laptop - it's really helpful when I need to show certain files or share them with someone in real time. Also, the feature of making a file available offline is also good, as I can use that when travelling by plane for instance and I don't have internet access. Automatic saving is also a great feature that avoids loosing work. Pros Clean interface, instant sync between local software and cloud, easy to access from anywhere and any device. Also, the fact that I can use the native GDocs or GSheet to create files directly in GDrive, that I can use for taking notes, or using the Excel functionalities. That way I won't need a third-party tool to take notes, so that I can have all in one place. Cons The desktop sync application (Drive for desktop) is sometimes slow in syncing large files. Truly, it doesn't happen too often, but when you upload more than one large file at the same time, it struggles a bit - it's probably the security scanning that prevents the upload to move faster.

Never needed support because it just works. It's intuitive and there's not bugs. It hosts documents better than outlook. Makes it easy to share files and send them with others. It's cheap for extra storage. google search on my files? yes please Cons I dislike that my current company uses outlook, and Maybe google can up its conversion efforts and save those of us stuck on it. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.capterra.com/p/227138/Microsoft-Outlook/) Reason for choosing Google Drive its so much more intuitive and easier to use.

November 14, 2025 5.0 Overall, the benefits provided by Google Drive have superseded the minor frustrations and nuisances. I have appreciated the services provided and utility of its capabilities. Pros Portable secure storage for documentation, video, and images that's accessible anywhere and can be shared among co-workers with ease from a trusted service. Cons Mobile access is in need of a new and improved UI to navigate the service better. I have had some issues over time jumping to and from different folders and documents. Review Source LB Logan B.

I just wish I could toggle foldering on inside of the various Apps. Pros I love how easy it is to manage items and implement my own nomenclature inside of Google Drive. In addition, managing sharing permissions is simple. There are also great add-ons for business utility, as well and the ability to code your own add-ons. This can be useful for things like permissions expiring for a user after a certain number of days. Cons Drive will hold all of your items across your workspace and have foldering and nomenclature, but if you navigate to the other apps (for example, Sheets) you lose access to the foldering that was present in drive. It means you erally have to navigate using Google Drive only - all-in-all not a huge drawback.

November 13, 2025 5.0 I have had a 10 out of 10 experience and have no complaints for this product/website. I feel that everyone should have a Google drive account especially when working in a job that requires collaboration on documents. Pros I have used Google drive during many different seasons of life. I used Google drive when I was in high school which attests to it ease of use and now as an adult when collaborating with different practitioners within the office. Google drive has been my go to ensure that my documents are saved and stored correctly and that I will always have access and manage my projects no matter which computer I am sitting at. I have not needed to use customer support since having a Google drive account which again shows the ease of use and no need for extra assistance. Google drive is a free site to use which makes it cost efficient for anyone with internet access. Cons Since using google drive I have had no issues with the use of this site. I find it very user friendly and I love the ability to use it anywhere and collaborate with others without having to sit down at a group meeting.

I can link to the drive documents or download them which is wonderful. It's just a no-brainer for business professionals! Pros Google Drive has been a gamechanger for me these past few years. I used to have everything on my desktop computer through Microsoft applications, but it would constantly eat away at my storage space and I couldn't access it anywhere without my desktop. I love that Google Drive is so versatile, with so many applications. It has a great data storage capacity even on the free level, and I love that I can personalize my settings if I want to keep my documents private or share with someone else. The app itself is user friendly and makes it easy for me to find my documents on-the-go. Cons The app itself is great but you will have to download the individual applications as well to open up the documents, which eats up your storage space. But overall, it's a fantastic resource and can travel with you. Switched from [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) This is free for basic features and also something I can take with me. Microsoft office just wasn't as user friendly.

It has made my remote team feel more connected and has made it easier to share important client documents. It is included in the Google Workspace subscription so the cost is based in. Pros Google Drive is the easiest way for me and my time to keep client and internal documents in one place. I use this software for both personal and business use. Cons The newest changes in the user interface have not been upgrades in my opinion. It can be hard to find shared documents now that they are in a separate location. it can also be confusing which Google Drive the email account (personal or business) is attached to Alternatives considered [OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/) Reason for choosing Google Drive Google Drive was included with our Google Workspace subscription. It syncs with all of our other softwares. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vice President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use and Share" December 4, 2025 5.0 The experience in total is very seamless and is most useful when interacting with contractors or other firms that are smaller because they can access these files easily whether or not they are in the Google environment. Pros Generally the ability to quickly navigate between the file directories, keep shortcuts, preview files, are all welcome. The ability to use sharing inside and outside of our organization made it a lot easier to collaborate on documents instead of sending them back and forth. Cons There are some times where, if loading images, it loads slowly because it's rendering the whole photo as opposed to rendering in lower definition version first. Alternatives considered [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) Reason for choosing Google Drive The tool was generally more accessible to many different people than the alternatives, especially for collaborating outside of the organization.

I don't know what I would do without it! Pros Great value for the price. The search feature works really well. It is easy to collaborate and share documents. You are able to customize the amount of storage you need. Very easy to upload to as well. Cons Honestly, I have not had any issues. Sometimes it is annoying when you cannot preview certain file types, but if that is the worst thing I can think of - that's pretty great! Switched from [OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/) I made the switch because OneDrive does not have as many collaboration or sorting features Review Source Craig B.

November 6, 2025 5.0 A great tool that brings all your personal or work digital belongings together to be accessed from anywhere by whoever you give permission to. Pros Google drive allows me to save and access files, images, presentations etc. from any device, whilst in the office at home or out and about. great in a professional enviroment I as I can share files with colleagues and updates can be seen in real time so you don't have to keep sending new updated files. there's plenty of storage for free and if you need more, it's very affordable. Cons everything we use google drive for ticks all the boxes. One feature I'd like to see is, the abillity to password protect a document or a single sheet so only those with the password can see it. Review Source AT Angela T. Executive Assistant Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Free Business Solutions" May 1, 2026 5.0 Such a wonderful tool! I use it for both personal and business use. I've helped many small businesses over the years, and always recommend the use of Google Drive over other products for file storage. Pros I love the ability to upload, share, and store almost any type of file regardless of its size. It's been a game-changer. Cons The use of Google Drive in iOS is a little bit tricky on mobile devices and can sometimes require a bit of research in order to complete a task, but it's definitely still worth it. Alternatives considered [OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/) Reason for choosing Google Drive Google Drive is much simpler to use and it's free.

I have it on my phone and I use it regularly there as well as from the PC. When I need to create or keep files, they're on Drive. Pros I like that Google Drive is free for the amount of storage I need - it's a reasonable amount and a great deal. All my important files are in one place, accessible on my computer or on the go. The phone app is just as easy to use as the PC app and the web browser. I like using the file sync for work. It's easy to find what I need using the file structure or the search. It's the best way to collaborate on files on the market. Cons I don't know how to contact customer support, although I've never really needed to - it always seems to work pretty seamlessly for me. I had difficulty configuring the PC hard drive sync with one specific job account. Review Source IM Ivory M.

Specific folders are designated for our teams, while others are shared with the entire organization. Pros I had a computer crash with and without the use of Google Drive. As you can expect, the time without Google Drive was a nightmare. Google Drive safely stores my items, and it is easy to access across multiple platforms (i.e., my phone and other computers). It also allows me to share specific folders or documents with others outside my organization, enabling us to collaborate and communicate in real-time. Cons My organization has had difficulties accessing our shared Drive at times, but customer support has always been helpful. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Our team struggled with the previous platform. Review Source LH Lissa H. HR Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Support of the Drive" December 8, 2025 5.0 Overall my experience with Google Drive has been a good one. I am able to keep my separate documents in My Drive and all of my shared work related documents in the Shared Google drive. Helping to create a clean digital workspace. Pros Google drive has proven to be a reliable system to use for storage. We have been able to manage a number of legal documents as well as transition all of our paper employee files to digital files to save space and effort. We are able to share specific documents and collaborate with other teams on editing new policies and sharing information. Cons Initially it took time to know that we could trust Google Drive with our important HR documents. Prior to transitioning all of our employee files we were hesitant and afraid to lose employee information as many documents cannot be duplicated and need to remain in their original form. Switched from [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.capterra.com/p/227138/Microsoft-Outlook/) Google has a bigger range and capability to support the needs of our organization. Review Source Emmanuel K.

Uploading and Accessing files is very easy. I love the fact that I can upload my documents and have access to them on any device. Also I can share access with friends to upload or download files during shared work. You can sort your files on folders which makes work easier and searching for files faster. At the first usage, there are tips from the support team explaining how to use product, this is very helpful as it explains what each button does. Cons For access, I would like if access for editor can be in two parts - editor that can upload files but not download. Review Source Rene M.

It has improved team collaboration and document management in our offshore hiring environment. The platform is reliable and integrates well with the rest of Google Workspace, supporting our productivity and enabling seamless remote work. Pros Google Drive provides secure and scalable cloud storage with seamless collaboration features. Its integration with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides makes it easy to create and edit documents in real-time with team members. The interface is intuitive and accessible from any device, and sharing files with colleagues or external partners is simple. The version control and offline access options are also valuable. Cons As the file library grows, it can become challenging to organize and find documents without a rigorous folder structure. Large file uploads may take time depending on bandwidth. Advanced admin features and increased storage require paid plans, which may be a limitation for very small teams. Review Source Lena W.

It's very simple and easy to use. Very user-friendly! Pros I like that I can create folders and directly share those with my team members so that we can all work from the same drive. It's very easy to use and create folders for specific things. The search functionality is very nice, as long as I know a key word of what I'm looking for it pops it up every time. The product is worth the investment since it gives you ample amount of storage for all of your data. I also enjoy the new AI generated summaries on the documents in the details section. I haven't had to use their customer support yet, which is a pro as well. Cons I don't have many cons for Google Drive. I love the product. It's a lot better than using computer storage for data because it stores everything in the cloud. The only thing I can think of is once a person no longer needs to have access to a certain document, it can be hard to remember to remove their access versus it just automatically taking them off. Switched from [Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/229993/Drive/) There wasn't enough storage, didn't have the same collaborative functions that Google Drive has, not efficient across the company.

We work in Creative, so we upload all assets to Drive, and everyone instantly has access to work on different parts of the project. We also save everything to Drive to ensure no file goes missing in case a computer gets damaged. Pros Google Drive is our one source of truth for file storage and document management. What I like the most about Google Drive is how easy it is to drag and drop files into it, to organize and move folders around, and to share some files with others while making others private and safe. I also love the version control and being able to restore previous versions when needed. Lastly, the Google Drive connection to Finder on my Mac is so useful that I rarely need to go online to access files. Cons My Finder/desktop connection frequently disconnects, and files stop syncing, so I need to log off and log back in. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but nothing major. Review Source SA Sir A.

Everything you need to get out of it is easy to understand & utilize. Pros I love the integration options it has with so many different softwares/platforms, making it even easier to share or upload files wherever needed. Cons It seems like the 'date modified' section isn't always accurate, which can be a bit annoying because there have been times where I know for sure I uploaded an image 1+ month ago, but the date modified will show me 1 week ago, for example.
