A great collaboration service for small organizations

The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use

I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

"Google Drive provides a guarantee that I can retrieve my data anytime."

"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

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"The product lacks customization."

"I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive."

"The product lacks in the area of documentation."

"The product must be more secure."

"Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking."

"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."

"I believe that the product's stability has certain areas of concern."

"The free storage amount should improve in Google Drive Enterprise. They only provide a small amount of storage."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"

"It is inexpensive and the cost is per user per month."

"You need to pay an extra cost to use more space."

"I pay for the additional storage. Otherwise, it's free as a basic plan, 15 GB."

"The price of Google Drive Enterprise is affordable and is one of its best features. I am on a monthly subscription."

"The product is not expensive."

"The tool is a bit expensive."

"The costs could be lower, but they are reasonable for the value they provide."

"In the free subscription, Google Drive Enterprise provides limited integrations. You get basic integration features, but for more extensive API usage, a paid subscription is required. Even with the paid subscription, there are limits on free API usage, such as a certain number of calls per day or month."
