Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Google autosaves your work, which means you won't lose things.""This solution has become an enhanced product over the years. It is more stable and they keep adding features.""I'm satisfied with the basic function. it's convenient to share documents or download shared documents you need.""The solution is absolutely stable.""The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution.""can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility.""Though I don't see a major difference between Google Drive Enterprise and other competitors, I find that the solution is easy to use. You just need to connect to it and upload files and give access to users who need access to the files. It's very easy to manage files and share files on Google Drive Enterprise, and these are its most valuable features.""For me, the most valuable feature is basically saving and sharing documents with other people outside, having something to be co-shared. When documents are large in size, it is easier to send them via email."

"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily.""Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product.""It is well integrated with other Microsoft products.""It was extremely easy to setup.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""Ability to share documents.""It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""They have support for integration with a lot of tools."

Cons
"The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit.""If you have different accounts, you have to log out and log in to access the accounts. This could be improved by removing this requirement. The storage limit could also be increased.""The Google Sheets should have more functionality.""Google Drive could offer more free storage.""I also use Word from Microsoft Office. Sometimes it's difficult to find some features that are available in Office and not available in Google Docs or are in a different place (if you are more used to Word). We sometimes lose time trying to find certain useability features.""The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage.""Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure.""It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added."

More Google Drive Enterprise Cons →

"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box.""The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why.""If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky.""The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents.""It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth.""The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files.""I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program.""The initial setup is not easy."
