Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the shared folder.""It's very practical and reliable.""You do not need to install anything.""From a stability standpoint, the solution is excellent. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""I could store any type of file using the solution.""The feature we've found most valuable is the ability to access our data anywhere, anytime.""It is seamlessly integrated with your Android. There’s no fuss, no hassle.""The solution is very flexible."

More Google Cloud Storage Pros →

"This solution has become an enhanced product over the years. It is more stable and they keep adding features.""With Google Drive Enterprise, multiple people can edit a document, and you can open it as Google Docs.""Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology.""The program is very stable.""The possibility of working together in real-time on the same document is the most useful feature for me.""Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file.""The ability to simultaneously edit files is really useful.""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."

Cons
"An area for improvement is that when you share with others, they can see all your folders instead of just those you share. Only the folders you specifically share should be visible.""The tool should increase its storage.""The implementation is not as easy as Microsoft, and the process could be improved.""Its security should be better from the data security point of view. It should be more secure, and it should get tightly integrated with products such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Microsoft covers different kinds of tools such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.""The solution only allows so much space for free.""The licensing fees could be reduced.""It could be made even more secure and allow for more storage.""There are inefficiencies with cache when the names are sequencing."

More Google Cloud Storage Cons →

"One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days.""I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license.""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.""The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit.""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 free tier of storage is limited.""The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price.""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."
