Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance is good.""The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution.""From a stability standpoint, the solution is excellent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It's easy to use.""I find the accessibility from various devices to be the most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage. I also like that it is integrated with Gmail and Google Groups.""The most valuable features are Pub/Sub, Data Explorer, BigQuery, and Data Transfer.""The solution is easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the cryptographic technology."

"The tool is user-friendly.""Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file.""The solution is very easy to scale.""One of the most strong features is the ability to collaborate by sharing files with others, allowing concurrent work. The most valuable features of our team's collaboration include concurrent editing and quickly creating reports. This allows for simultaneous editing, moderation, and finalization of our reports.""The solution is easy to use, has good performance, and is secure.""Provides a secure backup to my data.""This solution has become an enhanced product over the years. It is more stable and they keep adding features.""The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good."

Cons
"The storage could be improved to manage it a bit better. Google Cloud Storage could be more secure, but the security features are okay.""It is stable, but it can always be more stable.""The tool should increase its storage.""The cost of additional storage could be cheaper.""The implementation is not as easy as Microsoft, and the process could be improved.""It is hard to migrate to another product if we want to.""Google Cloud Storage could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Office files. When I open a Google document I would like it to be able to be opened with Microsoft. You can already open Google documents in Microsoft Office.""The solution should improve its security and accountability."

"The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to.""The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit.""The tool must provide more storage capacity.""The solution could improve User Access Management by showing more detailed information of which users have access to folders or files. For example, you can see which users have access one by one, but there is not a dashboard that can show what user has access to a library document.""I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license.""I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments.""The feature for synchronization of data from multiple systems with the same single ID is not happening in Google Drive. This feature should be added. For example, if I have only one single mail ID and I'm using it in a different location to upload different data, this is the challenge. It is happening from one system or one server. The synchronization of data from the local system to Google Drive will not happen if the IDs are the same. If I'm using it for different systems in different locations, synchronization is not happening. The system hets logged out. This feature is very important for us and they need to add it.""The solution is kind of expensive."
