Google Drive Enterprise Reviews

I use Google Drive to create and store documents, like tables, docs, CVs, etc. I also store important documents that I've scanned like my ID, some family papers, and stuff like this. 

I like that you can easily create folders and sort things by sliding them in and out. I like the sliding option. It's quite nice.

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've been using Google Drive for more than 10 years.

Google Drive is highly stable. I think Google knows what they're doing with how many users they have.

I've had some documents that we've edited simultaneously, and it never lags. I have some collaborative documents. We have one project with three people working on it.

If I didn't have Google Drive, I would need to carry all my papers physically and I could lose them. 

If you have a Google account, you have automatically a Drive. It's almost instant use. It's already pre-installed by Google, so you don't need to do anything.

I rate Google Drive nine out of 10. It's easy to start creating something in the Drive and share it with multiple people. All you need is an email account. It's a great service.

I would recommend Google Drive, depending on what purpose you want to use it for. It's great to have your files on you everywhere, but Google Drive may not be the best solution for every purpose. It's an all-around solution, not specialized.

I usually use it for storing and organizing documents that I was using for training and stuff, which I can't use on my personal laptop, or on my office laptop. Anything which I use for my learning, if I put it on the work laptop, I can't get it out. Whatever I'm practicing on the web or anything, I usually park it there. That's one of the reasons why I don't use an app (due to company policy).

I like that I can access files from anywhere. In my case, I can't get anything out of the work laptop. That's why I park all my learning materials and personal critical documents there.

The initial setup is a breeze.

It's a stable product.

I've not reached a stage where I hit a snag and, "Oh, I wish this feature was there," or something like that. I've really not come across that so far.

I've not used the programming, the API version, to really comment on what could be simpler in that sense. The web version of it is pretty good.

The only thing that's really been annoying is the single file size limit. Apart from that, it's fine. 

I'd like different storage tiers. The storage tiers are a little tricky. Up to the mid-range, it is good, and then after that, it's a huge bump. I don't really recall off the top of my head what storage is now. However, when I went for a paid subscription, I felt there was a huge gap between the two of the subscriptions, in terms of the storage. I thought I would find something in between, which would've been slightly better. That was about a year ago. I'm not sure if that has changed. At that time, when I looked at it, there were two options and my requirement was absolutely in the middle.

There might be one for 10GB and one for 100GB, and I might have needed 50GB and that wasn't an option. 

When I upload something on photos and then there is something on Google Drive itself, the ability to see the photos that are uploaded as files on the drive, would be a good option to have. Accessing them on Google Drive itself could be much simpler.

I've been using the solution for three to five years. 

It's very stable. I've never faced a situation where a document has gone missing or the service is not available. What they have and how they centralize the backup, it's absolutely fine.

I've never really had to go to technical support. Using technical support may apply more when you are doing an API-based or programming-based access to things. In my case, with Google Drive, I use it predominantly on an interactive basis. I've never hit any problem. 

Whenever I need additional services I can pay for the paid version for the duration I need, and once I'm done, I typically unsubscribe at the end of the month. Everything is pretty simple and quite effective. If I need additional power, I usually switch to a paid Colab version and bump up the CPUs I need for the DPUs. 

Everything works fine. I really never had to seek out a support person to resolve an issue.

I've also used Microsoft storage as well. I found Google is much better when it comes to searching, merging, and pulling documents. Microsoft can be inconsistent.

The solution is very straightforward and simple. it's quite easy. It's not complicated at all.

I'm an end-user.

I usually use the web version.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for document sharing and access.

For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device. That's the most important. Also, the synchronization options that it provides us with are great. We like the sharing options and all of that.

The initial setup is easy.

I do see some synchronization issues at times where the documents that are uploaded more recently won't show up on other devices immediately. Or sometimes it may show some corruption. Then, you may want to re-sync it if the WiFi connection is temporarily unavailable in such situations. Otherwise, it does its job pretty well.

It may not scale up to an enterprise level.

I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience. That's something that I would like to see.

I've been using the solution for the last several years.

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

It's a scalable product. I'm not sure at an enterprise level, whether it holds up. I'm not a Google Workspace user. I'm just only using it for my personal use. I'm able to handle such scenarios that work quite well. That said, at an enterprise level, how it works is hard to say.

I have experienced technical support a couple of times, however, not for the Drive. For some other product. That was, in terms of the response time, pretty good.

That said, the resolution will still depend on the complexity of the issue. They may just be passing it on to another team and then they may get back to you after their investigation. As a part of the Google One membership, if you have a subscription, then you get a proper response.

There was one issue I had where I needed to recover an account that I had, and it never let me recover. It kept throwing an error for that. I had logged a few incidents and then I don't think they resolved it. However, in most cases, it was quite smooth. 

Neutral

I'm familiar with Sandbox. We mostly are users of other Google products. The integration that it has with Gmail and the other products that we use, that's something that makes it easy for personal use. For enterprise, I'm not an enterprise user for Google, so I may not be able to comment on how it would work for very large organizations.

It's a fairly simple setup. Those who are used to the basic terminologies, et cetera, shouldn't be finding it much too difficult. Those who are already in the Google ecosystem should not find it very difficult. It is pretty straightforward for basic users unless you want to use the advanced features. That shouldn't be an issue.

I'm an end-user.

I normally use the web version.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution.

Google Drive Enterprise could improve the integrations. We do not use the tool very much for our corporate desktops. Additionally, Google collects a lot of personal data from the customers which is not very good and this is one of the reasons we do not use it for our corporation.

In a future release, the solution should be able to integrate better with Microsoft solutions, such as Outlook, Teams, and Office.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately four years.

Google Drive Enterprise is a stable solution.

The scalability of Google Drive Enterprise is good. They give you approximately 25 GB of data to use. 

I have not used the support.

I have used Microsoft OneDrive. It is well integrated with other solutions and is more secure with encryption options. This is why we use it for our corporation over other solutions, such as Google Drive Enterprise. 

Google Drive Enterprise has a strong edge over other solutions when you are using mobile devices and many of the functions are simple to use and perform quicker.

The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise is simple. Most people already have a Google account and it's quite easy to set up.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise a nine out of ten.

I use Google Drive to synchronize between computers on the cloud, but I mainly use the solution to manage some artifacts on the cloud while synchronizing on the web between two computers. I share files between different devices, like an Apple computer, iPad, Windows PC, etc. Google Drive is the best solution, in my opinion.

I use all the Google solutions, including Google Meet and Contacts to manage my contacts. I have a lot of contacts to synchronize between phones and computers. Google's tools are user-friendly.

It's not easy to make sure you have enough space on Google Drive. I have to connect to the web application to check if I need more space. I would like it if you could right-click on Google Drive locally to see the available space. 

Google should also make it simpler to manage rights and access for different users. I want to share one folder with some people and another with other groups.  It's not easy to manage. You have to use Google's web interface to assign rights, but IBM Box lets you permissions directly on the Windows interface.

I would also like to synchronize my notes on my tablet with Google Drive. I don't know if it's possible to manage the synchronization between my personal account for my tablet on Google Drive. When I connect the solution to the cloud, the synchronization is costly, and the account size is small. I want to synchronize it with these types of solutions. You have a simple electronic device to write some notes on, and I want to synchronize with the cloud as a document, PDF, etc. 

I've been using Google Drive for five years.

Google Drive is stable. 

I also have used IBM Box, but I prefer Google Drive because it's effortless to install and manage compared to Box. We have synchronization problems sometimes using Box, but I never have this problem with Google Drive.

Google Drive is much more stable compared to Dropbox. Dropbox is a catastrophic solution. I used Dropbox because I manage many files, and I lost files because the synchronization between Dropbox and my customer folder was unstable. I use Google Drive to back up my files. Google Drive is the best solution to manage the backup between my Apple computer and my personal computer.

I've also used OneDrive, but I prefer Google Drive because it's integrated with all the other Google solutions. OneDrive creates some technical problems if you use multiple accounts. If you need to synchronize OneDrive with the two solutions, it's a nightmare to manage because Microsoft can't use two accounts on the same computer.

OneDrive's price is low, but it's not a good solution. It's a basic solution for file sharing. IBM Box's price is low, and it's a great solution, but it's geared toward professional use. I prefer Google Drive for my personal purposes.

Google Drive is simple to set up. You only need to create a Google account. 

Google Drive's price is lower than competitors. I have two accounts, including one with Apple that I use to manage some pictures and contact. I use Apple Cloud for only this purpose. I use Google Drive for everything else. Compared to Google, the price of Dropbox is high and the solution isn't good.

I rate Google Drive nine out of 10. It's perfect for me, but I would like more space for free for my personal usage. 

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

Google Drive Enterprise can improve by suggesting to me I have duplicate files or some kind of duplicate feature. If it can give that kind of advice, it would be a great feature on a drive storage capability. There has to be some kind of machine learning to analyze individual data and provide recommendations.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately 10 years.

I have found Google Drive Enterprise to be reliable.

Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable solution.

I would rate the technical support from Google Drive Enterprise a four out of five.

I use other similar solutions to Google Drive Enterprise, such as Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive. The largest advantage of Google Drive Enterprise is the integration with other applications, it integrates very well.

The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise was easy. I am not sure how inexperienced people may find it, but I did not have an issue.

I rate Google Drive Enterprise an eight out of ten.

I use Google Drive Enterprise for collaboration. We use Google Sheet, Google Forms, and Google Docs, and we can collaborate within Teams very well. It was very helpful, especially during the pandemic when we were working from home. It has been a very helpful suite, not a single application.

I like that it's easy to use. I'm satisfied with the speed, stability, and availability.

The price could be better. Google should rethink and realign its pricing strategy along with the storage prices because storage prices are going down for on-premise solutions. If they can reduce the cost or increase the storage capacity for that same tier, that would be a great advantage.

I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for less than a year.

Google Drive Enterprise is a stable solution.

Google Drive Enterprise is a scalable solution, and I'm satisfied with it. We have approximately 250 users, and next year we hope to increase that number by 100.

I used a different solution before but switched because of the ease of maintenance and managing storage.

There's no installation as it's on the cloud, but we have people to do new user registration and things like that, but not a very heavy technical requirement.

The price could be better. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Google Drive Enterprise a nine.

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.

We have to do a lot of presentations. We keep the presentation in a specific secure folder. Then, we give access to those that need it. Whenever they go to a client to do a presentation, they can access the folder, bring up the presentation, and go through it. It's fast.

The storage limits could be higher.

I would like to see more cloud services being bundled into Google, such as mobile security.

Google should definitely build some modules into it so that when we add organizational data onto Google Cloud, we won't need to build separate proxies for security.

We have been using this solution for the last three to four years.

It's quite stable; we have not had any issues.

In Sri Lanka, technical support was initially an issue, but now, it's okay.

If you're an experienced user, the initial setup is quite easy.

Google is much cheaper than Microsoft.

Google is much cheaper and much more flexible than Microsoft. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Google Drive Enterprise an eight.
