Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Compared to other solutions such as Microsoft, this solution offers faster synchronization.""It allows multiple users to work simultaneously on a document.""Low maintenance solution.""Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology.""I like the ease with which you can share files securely with the team. It makes file and information sharing much easier than sending attachments.""The stability of Google Drive Enterprise is good.""The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good. It's very useful and critical for us to communicate with each other nowadays. They integrate well with other Google solutions, such as Google Documents and Google Spreadsheet.""Google Drive Enterprise provides convenience to its users. Also, it provides its users the option to easily share and collaborate."

"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""It helps you keep organized.""It was extremely easy to setup.""Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members.""Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format.""It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."

Cons
"It should have more features similar to Office 365. To improvise more, they should compare their features with Office 365.""Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure.""I would like to see the price reduced in the next release.""There is really not too much that I think needs to be added to the product to improve it. Some of the features within Sheets could be enhanced so this product is a more complete replacement for Excel.""It would be helpful if there was a synchronization option that would allow me to synchronize folders or emails with my online repository. That way, any new items added to the folder would automatically be uploaded to the solution, without me having to manually upload them.""In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""It's become difficult to fit everything in one window.""The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit."

"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support.""The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why.""I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program.""The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office.""If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky.""The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
