Pros
"can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access.

It is more stable and they keep adding features.""Google Drive is always up when I need it, so I don't have any complaints.""For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device.""There's no real implementation necessary.""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.""Provides a secure backup to my data."

Cons
"It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added.""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 free storage amount should improve in Google Drive Enterprise. They only provide a small amount of storage.""I would like to see larger storage capabilities.""I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments.""The Google Sheets should have more functionality.""Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users.""I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license."

"I'd like to see them add more features in the future in order to continue to advance the product.""Using Office 365 is not that flexible on some mobile devices, like Android.""Security is still complex, but the admin console improving.""Office 365 could allow for smoother collaboration with other companies, which is the main reason we use it. The B2B connection is something we need, like global adverse lists between two tenants or multiple users. That's what we're missing at the moment.""The feature to convert PDF file to a Word document needs improvement as well as the feature to save the file automatically when typing, without using the save command.""Data protection and email security are almost the same for all the organizations, irrespective of their segment (SMB or enterprises), with standard subscription at least basic Data loss prevention and Advance threat protection can be enabled for SMB segments, it is available in enterprise version / Premium versions.""Integration between Outlook calendar and Google Calendar would be a good improvement since many of our team use Android phones and personal Gmail accounts as their main calendar application.""In terms of improvement, it should have tutorials when you first have the opportunity to use it, to be able to really learn it."
