We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the ease with which you can share files securely with the team. It makes file and information sharing much easier than sending attachments.""Some of the most useful features of Google Drive Enterprise is the ability to store my data and share it.""This solution has become an enhanced product over the years. It is more stable and they keep adding features.""It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document.""Google Drive is always up when I need it, so I don't have any complaints.""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.""It is a stable solution, and I have never faced any issues with the product...It is a scalable solution since one can get as much as one needs from the product.""When we collaborate on a team project, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the project."

Cons
"Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure.""I would like better security because I use Google Drive to store some personal documents, It would be nice if I could password protect some files.""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 desktop app could be improved, especially how it functions in the Windows environment.""Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents.""In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable.""It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues."

"Technical support is not available locally for us.""Our customers in Canada cannot use it because it has to be compliant in the same country."
