Google Drive Enterprise
July 2026
Learn what your peers think about Google Drive Enterprise. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: July 2026.
904,680 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Google Drive Enterprise's stability as ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I think it is quite scalable. The free version offers up to one or ten gigabytes of storage, and you can pay for extra space if needed. My company has five to ten users who use it daily.
How are customer service and support?
We don't need to contact support because everything is straightforward. In most cases, we solve any issues ourselves. The products are mature and provide straightforward solutions, so support is unnecessary.
How was the initial setup?
Google Drive Enterprise's deployment is easy. It's just a web application.
What was our ROI?
The biggest value is that you don't need to exchange files manually. You have a central repository and concurrent users, which is quite important.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You don't need to pay if it is within your storage limits. If you need more, you can have a corporate license. I don't know the pricing, but there is a corporate license. The extra costs would only be if you exceed these free limits.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall product a ten out of ten. I would advise others to start using it without hesitation. It's safe and reliable so that you won't lose your data.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

Reliable, straightforward to use, and offers great file sharing capabilities
Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup is easy."
- "It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution to share documents between people in my company, and sometimes we also share with people outside the company.
What is most valuable?
The main feature we use is the file and photo-sharing capability. The other feature we also use quite often is the ability to make and share Google Sheets and Google Docs for authoring documentation.
Google, in general, is straightforward to use.
The initial setup is easy.
It is reliable.
We can scale the product.
What needs improvement?
It works for me quite well now. I do not have any suggestions for the future.
It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for 15 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It is reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution can scale well. It's not a problem if you need to expand.
We have 50 users on the solution currently. We do not have plans to increase usage in the future.
How are customer service and support?
I have never used technical support. I don't know how helpful they are. It's an easy, stable solution, and I've never required help.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use One Drive from Microsoft. Previously, we used Dropbox. Microsoft offers more GBs to users (1TB). Google only offers 15GBs for free.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is quite simple to set up. It's quick to deploy. It takes just a click, and you are up and running. It just takes one engineer to set up and maintain the solution.
What about the implementation team?
It's so straightforward, anyone can do it. We do not need any consultants or integrators.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Users get 15GBs for free. After that, they have to pay.
What other advice do I have?
I'd recommend the solution to others, depending on what the company needs. If a user just needs a drive that's 15GBs per user, then Google Drive is okay. If they need more than that, they have to pay. However, One Drive gives a user 100GBs. It's much bigger and would be more practical for bigger users.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Google Drive Enterprise
July 2026
Learn what your peers think about Google Drive Enterprise. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: July 2026.
904,680 professionals have used our research since 2012.
Easy to use and allows for collaboration between users
Pros and Cons
- "can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility."
- "One problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days."
What is our primary use case?
As a student, I use Google Drive to share documents with other students. Google Drive is useful for students like me who need to upload assignments, which can be in various formats like Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel, etc. Teachers can also share unusually large files with students by sharing links instead of emailing them directly, which helps to share larger files that cannot be shared via Gmail.
What is most valuable?
With Google Drive, I can create my own folders and share them with my friends. I can create Google Docs links directly in Google Drive and choose whether to give edit or view access. As the owner of the link, I like that flexibility.
What needs improvement?
One thing about Google Drive is that it's not really compatible with Microsoft Drive. For example, if I have Microsoft OneDrive and want to share files in an Excel format, it shows up in my Google Sheets format on Google Drive. It can cause formatting issues between both drives, making it difficult to work with other companies like Microsoft.
One more problem I face is that online storage capacity is limited these days. So, if you want more capacity in your cloud, you need to pay for it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's quite stable. For example, if I have a link to a Google Drive, that link usually works. I can create many files like Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Forms. Recently, I was working with Google Forms, and there's an option for shortening the URL of the form as well. Whenever I share that link, the shortened link also usually works, and as the owner of the form, I can easily see how many responses I've got and analyze those responses.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've only used it within my capacity. But because everyone now has a Google account, it would be quite scalable. Approximately 10,000 people in my college within my university are using it. We would like to increase the capacity because it should be more compatible with Microsoft.
How was the initial setup?
It was quite easy to set up since everyone nowadays has a Google account. You can log in and access your Google Drive with a Google account.
What about the implementation team?
No expertise is required because you just need to sign in to your Google account.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have two Google accounts, one is my personal Google account, and the one where I use Drive more is from my university, so my university would be paying some amount, but I'm not sure about that.
What other advice do I have?
I have limited exposure to Microsoft OneDrive as well, but I would definitely recommend Google's Cloud and Google Drive due to their storage capacity and ease of use.
I would rate it an eight out of ten. One thing I recommend is that Google Drive Enterprise should provide a proper outline of how much memory is available in the cloud, and if they plan to increase their prices, the pricing should be transparent from their end.

Product Manager at Slalom Consulting
Reliable uptime with the ability to synchronize files across different platforms
Pros and Cons
- "Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot."
- "The free tier of storage is limited."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for document and file storage. Additionally, we use it to store interesting knowledge articles or books we are interested in.
How has it helped my organization?
Google Drive Enterprise has helped compile data in one spot, and its uptime is always very reliable and available. So it's a great way to have important information synced across multiple devices.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is its ability to synchronize files across different platforms. So the most recent copies of information and data are available and can easily be transferred offline. For example, if I edit a document on Google Drive, I know that there won't be an older version of it somewhere else.
What needs improvement?
The free tier of storage is limited, especially regarding the photos. Additionally, there is no editing option available via the mobile application. Hence the solution can be improved by consolidating viewing and editing features on mobile devices and expanding its free storage options.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Google Drive Enterprise for several years.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I recommend new users considering the solution use multiple devices to sync all their files constantly and use folders within Google Drive Enterprise. Additionally, they should be aware of capacity limits and storage limits.

It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time
Pros and Cons
- "I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices; it allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time, and I also like the versioning features."
- "You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder."
What is our primary use case?
I work on Google Drive for personal use.
What is most valuable?
I like how Google Drive syncs content across all my devices. It allows me to transfer files between multiple devices at the same time. I also like the versioning features.
What needs improvement?
You cannot upload multiple files with the same name to Google Drive. I'm not sure how relevant it is for other users, but I have multiple files with the same name that I'm unable to upload to a single folder.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Drive for around eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Google Drive is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Google Drive is scalable, but you have subscription fees to go to the next tier to save more data.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Google Drive is simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate Google Drive Enterprise eight out of 10 for pricing.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Google Drive Enterprise nine out of 10.

The environment, ecosystem and elements bundled with the solution are not strong
Pros and Cons
- "I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location."
- "The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price."
- "I rate the solution a three out of ten."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution at my job at least once a week to exchange files. About 15% of my time per week is devoted to it.
How has it helped my organization?
Staff exchange files through the solution.
What is most valuable?
I find it valuable to have access to my files from any location. If I'm traveling, I access files via my mobile or another terminal device. I have access to materials I want to take to my class and don't have to carry anything. I just put my files in the solution and open them wherever I need them. I don't even have to carry a flash drive.
What needs improvement?
The price of additional storage could be reduced. I have an annual subscription and I'm only using 150GB because of the price.
The environment, ecosystem, and elements bundled with the solution are not strong.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I don't use the product often enough to rate stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable if you pay for additional storage.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use 1TB of my Microsoft Drive extensively for various things. I haven't completely made the switch because of storage costs.
How was the initial setup?
The setup was not complex, but could be improved with dashboard clarity. For example, a colleague sends me a link to a file on his drive. When opening the link, it is not apparent if the file is still on his drive or now shared on mine. I shouldn't have to open the file to store it on my drive. I would like this ease-of-use workflow item to be improved.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Storage is the only product offered and that makes it expensive to use. If you compare it to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, storage is incidental to other products, suites, and services. For example, Microsoft offers 1TB of storage with the purchase of Microsoft Office. The perception is that Microsoft offers free storage. It is convenient to package products and have fewer vendors with one support team. If I'm looking at storage only, I look at relative costs.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated and still use Microsoft Drive.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution a three out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Pros and Cons
- "The solution's most valuable features are its flexibility and accessibility."
- "Google can add a personalized dashboard that would give insights into the files that I have."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution if I want to keep some personal files, photos, or videos in the cloud and don't need physical hardware to store them.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable features are its flexibility and accessibility. You can access it whenever you have internet access.
What needs improvement?
Google can add a personalized dashboard that would give insights into the files that I have.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven’t had any issues with the solution’s stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We're using the Box tool in our company. Box has collaboration features that allow you to collaborate and share files with your colleagues.
What was our ROI?
You can access the tool anytime, anywhere if you are connected to the internet. You can store valuable files, photos, and videos in the cloud. I make it a point to use cloud storage to store pictures of my toddler. I can easily access them whenever I need them.
What other advice do I have?
I feel secure using the solution because I always use two-factor authentication. I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

- "The tool is intuitive and easy to use."
What is our primary use case?
Google Drive Enterprise is useful for sharing information, creating and checking reports, and making presentations.
What is most valuable?
The tool is intuitive and easy to use.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't had any stability issues with Google Drive Enterprise. I rate its stability as seven or eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ten percent of my clients use Google products. The tool's scalability is excellent. My clients have around 300-400 users.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the support since I didn't encounter any issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also use Microsoft One Drive.
What other advice do I have?
The tool used to crash on virtual desktops. However, it wasn't an issue with the product; it was with the virtual desktop.
I haven't worked as an administrator with Google tools, but I receive much news about their security. Previously secure, they have become even more secure now. Our clients who use Google tools don't experience many security problems. It's a good and secure solution.
I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. I recommend that people try it before making a decision. In my opinion, it's more about comfort rather than concerns about security or stability when compared to other suites.

Owner at Atominos consulting
Used to create, store, and share documents securely
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners."
- "The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents."
What is our primary use case?
We create folders and store our documents in Google Drive. We can give folder access to our friends, colleagues, customers, or partners. If they want to download, we can also give them download access.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is file sharing with partners.
What needs improvement?
The solution's capacity could be increased to store more documents. We currently access the solution by clicking a link that shows us all the applications, such as Calendar and Drive. We currently don't have the Google Drive option on top of the email, which allows us to access the solution immediately.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution’s stability is very good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Google Drive Enterprise is a very scalable solution. Earlier, using the solution was very difficult, but now it's very easy to operate. We can easily share folders and move files from one folder to another. It takes very little time to upload. Earlier, it used to be very slow, but now it can upload very fast. Around 30 users are using the solution in our organization.
I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is very easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution.
What other advice do I have?
Google Drive Enterprise was very useful for one SAP project we did recently. We uploaded all the technical specifications in project documents, stored them in Google Drive Enterprise, and shared them with our team members. The team members could access them very smoothly, and the project went very smoothly after using the tool. I would recommend the solution to other users.
I would recommend the solution to other users because it is a very good DMS (document management system) tool for storing documents. Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable, easy-to-operate, and secure solution.
We have been operating G Suite for almost five years now. Long before that, we used Google Drive Enterprise on our personal and official accounts. We have not faced any technical issues with the solution and can access it anywhere. The solution is also mobile-friendly. I can download a file from my mobile and share it with my employees.
Overall, I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

A solution that offers its users an option to easily share and collaborate
Pros and Cons
- "Google Drive Enterprise provides convenience to its users. Also, it provides its users the option to easily share and collaborate."
- "Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users."
What is most valuable?
Google Drive Enterprise provides convenience to its users. Also, it provides its users the option to easily share and collaborate. So, these are some of the main benefits of the solution.
What needs improvement?
Regarding the applications available on Google Drive Enterprise, specifically products like Google Docs and related offerings, offer a compatibility level that is very good. Some features like transpose are still lacking in the solution for power users. While these products are quite good, transitioning between Microsoft and Google products can be problematic because not all features convert as smoothly as expected.
For how long have I used the solution?
In our company, we use Google Drive Enterprise. Also, we are customers of the product.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I haven't had any outages while using the solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I don't see any problems with the scalability of the solution because our company is still growing, and we don't have a large number of employees yet. Currently, we only have a couple of hundred employees. So, we aren't pushing it that hard, but we have had no issues so far.
How are customer service and support?
In our company, we never had a reason to contact the technical support team.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use lots of Google and Microsoft products mainly, apart from OfficeSuite, Google Cloud, and other Google-related products since my company heavily uses all of these products.
How was the initial setup?
I wasn't involved in the tool's setup. However, getting my own personal account was very easy. I had to just sign up, after which I got a link from our IT. I just had to go through it. So, the setup was very easy.
What other advice do I have?
I would say that it's a fine product. I never have any hesitations about its basic functionality or from a stability standpoint. So, I would definitely recommend it to others. That being said, if you are a power user who frequently switches between Microsoft and Google Drive Enterprise, there are some peculiarities that you should be aware of, and so I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
