Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I like about this program, is that it's quite fast, because you pay for your usage.""The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Storage is the filter option. You can search with some artificial intelligence kinds of features. For example, if I search for a beach, it'll show me all the beach-related pictures, which I took five or ten years before. So this is a cool feature that I've seen. They give as many features as they can to make it better, so I'm happy with this solution.""There is a free-to-use version. This is the version I use.""The most valuable features of Google Cloud Storage are the ease of use and I can share files with my colleagues.""Their technical support is good and very professional.""The solution is scalable.""The performance is good.""The solution is flexible and very user-friendly."

"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive.""The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."

Cons
"I would also like to be able to use my own tools and packages within this solution and also have a tool to visualize the data with graphics.""Google Cloud Storage could improve by increasing the storage from 15 GB. If I want to have more storage I need to pay extra money.""The solution is good, however, it would benefit from increased storage without the additional cost.""While the solution seems to be secure, I worry that, with the cloud, there is a chance of hacking. It would be ideal if they could be more transparent about the processes they go through to keep our data secure in the cloud and on their systems.""Google Cloud Storage could improve by being more user-friendly.""The solution should have two factor authentication.""They need to get some parts of the program more mature, like the admin management part as well as the monitoring part.""Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but you have to pay extra."

    Overview

    Google Cloud Storage is praised for its fast performance, seamless integration, high security, and scalability. Users store and access large amounts of data easily, backup files, host websites, and collaborate on projects. The platform's reliability and cost-effectiveness make it a top choice for data storage and management.

    pCloud is a personal cloud space where you can store all your files and folders. It has a user-friendly interface that clearly shows where everything is located and what it does. The software is available for almost any devices and platforms – iOS and Android devices, Mac, Windows, and Linux. By installing pCloud on your computer (through its desktop application pCloud Drive), the app creates a secure virtual drive which expands your local storage space. Every change you make in your pCloud can be seen immediately on your computer, phone or tablet. All your devices are instantly synchronized and you have direct file access to any update you make.
