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.

"Some of the most useful features of Google Drive Enterprise is the ability to store my data and share it."

Cons

"The tool must provide more storage capacity."
"I believe that the product's stability has certain areas of concern."
"I would like to see larger storage capabilities."
"Improvements could include better editing features within a Word document, similar to the characteristics of on-premises versions, such as more formatting functions. Another improvement could be file transfer from the browser to the desktop, making it as simple as drag and drop."
"Google can add a personalized dashboard that would give insights into the files that I have."
"The Google Sheets should have more functionality."

"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."

"The product is not expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"It has a yearly license."
