Pros
"The most valuable features of Google Cloud Storage are flexibility and sustainability.""On the phone, I appreciate how seamless it is.""It's very practical and reliable.""Easy to use object storage solution that's scalable and stable. Its technical support team is customer-friendly.""We are mostly doing telephony and generic web services in the telephony.""It is easy to use.""It is stable and scalable.""The most valuable feature is that it frees up space in your device by allowing you to store your files on the cloud and provides 15GB storage for free."

"Google Drive Enterprise provides convenience to its users. Also, it provides its users the option to easily share and collaborate.""Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer.""Google Drive Enterprise is a good product, and it is easy to use.""The performance of this solution is fast because it is hosted by Google.""It's easy to access from an Android device and can access things like cyber security restrictions on USB drives, file size, and so on. Google Drive will be an option.""It's a stable product.""Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology.""The program is very stable."

Cons
"The user interface could be more intuitive.""The product's user interface is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Could be improved from a storage perspective and a cost perspective.""Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but you have to pay extra.""The problem I face right now is that my data warehouse is being hosted on Google Cloud, however, integration between Google Cloud to Microsoft Azure is a big problem.""A lower cost, lower-end solution for a shared file system is missing.""User management could be better. It's complicated process to delete users and maintain the structure of documents created by deleted users.""I would like to see better pricing."

"Google Drive Enterprise could improve the integrations. We do not use the tool very much for our corporate desktops. Additionally, Google collects a lot of personal data from the customers which is not very good and this is one of the reasons we do not use it for our corporation.""When compared to Commvault or Veeam, I'm not sure what Google Drive has to offer in terms of backing up data on the cloud or in a data center for a large organization.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature. If it can give that kind of advice, it would be a great feature on a drive storage capability. There has to be some kind of machine learning to analyze individual data and provide recommendations.""The solution is kind of expensive.""A separate interface to give users a summary of how they've shared items on the drive would be useful. You can end up having a lot of stuff and the sheer amount can end up making users feel a little bit lost in terms of knowing who they've actually shared items with.""Google Drive could offer more free storage.""You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder.""The product’s document management and automation features are very limited."
