Works very well with access across many devices. I am currently updating all paperwork to exist on Google drive > > **Cons**: Playback of videos could be quicker but has definitely improved. For price and ease of use this is hard to top > > Fantastic clod space. When I started using it I preferred other cloud organisers but the interface has become more intuitive. Very easy to upload to (drag and drop or click and load). It allows me to access files and share with others on my own terms. ----- ### "A great digital storage tool." — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *6 November 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google drive allows me to save and access files, images, presentations etc. from any device, whilst in the office at home or out and about. great in a professional enviroment I as I can share files with colleagues and updates can be seen in real time so you don't have to keep sending new updated files. there's plenty of storage for free and if you need more, it's very affordable. > > **Cons**: everything we use google drive for ticks all the boxes. One feature I'd like to see is, the abillity to password protect a document or a single sheet so only those with the password can see it. > > A great tool that brings all your personal or work digital belongings together to be accessed from anywhere by whoever you give permission to. ----- ### "Convenient and super easy" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 September 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use and convenience of direct access to a multi-layered storage and shared work platform online, for document management and easy collaboration > > **Cons**: Sometimes non Google Gmail users find they do not easily receive notifications , however, that can be resolved with link sharing > > Mostly this is an extremely convenient way of working and sharing materials at a manageable cost to the user ----- ### "Great product, but pricy" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 August 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly, easy way to save own files safety but also to create a shared company folder. Fantastic way to keep important documents safe. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately the g-suite packages are quite expensive but it’s a must have for most companies. Would be good to have more affordable packages. > > Great. Couldn’t be without it currently. We use Google drive to store all our documents and I like that you can control visibility settings. My documents are easy to find and feel safe. ----- ### "A good system" — 4.0/5 > **Amanda** | *27 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google drive is brilliant for collaborating as it's very easy to share files with specific or all users. > > **Cons**: You can't easily copy a whole file and add it to your own drive but equally there is a way to do this which makes it difficult to make sure everyone is updating the same file. > > Really great document management system for collaborative data storage. Easy to search and share documents. A good system all round but if someone updates a file that is not the current one it's a little difficult to keep track of. ----- Page: 1 / 1137\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/161425/drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/161425/drive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
