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 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.""Compared to other solutions such as Microsoft, this solution offers faster synchronization.""I can check emails from anywhere, and use the applications wherever I am.""The most valuable feature of Google Drive is its seamless integration across mobile devices and computers.""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's a stable product.""I like that it's easy to use. I'm satisfied with the speed, stability, and availability.""Record your meeting and simply share with anyone without thinking where to store the file."

Cons
"Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable.""I would like to see larger storage capabilities.""If they would implement something for people who have been working on Google Drive for so many years, to have an upgraded version or to be upgraded to that capacity or storage, that would be fantastic.""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.""There are a few kinks to work out at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple and extremely useful.""The solution is relatively new and takes some time to get used to.""Lacks scalability and security.""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."
