Pros
"The initial setup is easy.""The program is very stable.""Simplicity while competently serving the needs of secure document storage and sharing is part of the beauty of the product.""I can store data and share it with people.""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.""The product helps us to collaborate with team members. You can control the share and access feature. It is also user-friendly. The solution's security features are decent and reliable. Its APIs are good.""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 absolutely stable."

"It was extremely easy to setup.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device.""The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again.""Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product.""Ability to share documents.""It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."

Cons
"Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable.""The desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups. It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface.""I would like to see the price reduced in the next release.""In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""The solution should be more user-friendly so that people get used to it.""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.""It should have more features similar to Office 365. To improvise more, they should compare their features with Office 365."

More Google Drive Enterprise Cons →

"The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""The initial setup is not easy.""The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files.""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.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
