Cons
"It's a cloud-based product that is stable and secure, but I would like to see more security features added.""The product’s document management and automation features are very limited.""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.""The free tier of storage is limited.""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.""Google Drive Enterprise could be made more user-friendly.""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.""I would like to see larger storage capabilities."

"It should be easy for people not on the network to connect and access their files.""Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions."
