Google Drive

Probably the easiest to use, full featured, cloud file storage system on the market

Comments: I needed a place to store documents that I'd be able to access securely from any device. I also wanted to be able to use this storage system to collaborate with other people on storing and/or delivering documents. This software is perfect for that need.

Pros:

Google Drive is probably the easiest software to use for cloud file storage. It has apps for phones, tablets, mac, and pc. I mostly use the web interface for managing my files and permissions because it seems to have the most robust and consistent feature set. It's remarkably easy to upload a file and then share that file with another person or get a public link to that file to post anywhere. I like that you can share entire folders and make collaborating on file storage downright simple. You can upload multiple files at once and it handles it in the background. It's mac and pc apps make it possible to sync a folder (or your entire drive if you want) with a folder on your computer. It has very generous storage allotments and a payment structure for upgrades that's neither complex nor expensive. Another awesome feature is the ability to preview most documents. Most only storage systems just allow you to view a file type thumbnail and download the file. When looking through hundreds of files, it's cumbersome at best. But with Drive, you can easily preview most documents without having to open them in a separate window.

Cons:

It is very difficult (possibly impossible) to collaborate with users who don't have a Google account. Also, when trying to implement Google Drive via a custom software product, their API documentation is very complicated. Their examples are almost useless. Finally, it's not a version control system. While Google Docs and Sheets allow users to see the history of their edits, it's not simple (it may not be possible) to recover a document from Google Drive that was changed/deleted in the past. There is a trash system, but it's not for recovering different versions of a file. None of these were deal-breakers for me, so I love the software.

Google Drive - not the best RIDE share.

Comments: For storing, it is fine. I mostly forget about the items I have in Google Drive. For something like organizing or sharing it takes more discipline. But it is nice for the entry price of FREE!

Pros:

As with most things Google, its DRIVE is adequate. It works for smaller businesses. The price point is excellent and using it with the rest of Google suite (workplace) offerings is seamless. It is good on desktop or in mobile applications.

Cons:

Google Drive is not able to be modified in needed ways. I like to color coordinate my files/documents. Also, I would like to show only those items I need via brands. This is currently not possible. Drop and drag with 3rd party platforms is not possible. Not with Constant Contact.

Easy-to-Share Cloud File Storage

Pros:

The thing I like the most about Google Drive is how easy it is to collaborate with others on files and folders, as well as the fact that I can work offline (great for planes and other places where internet isn't available). Keeping my files organized is straightforward and the search function is helpful as well. And I appreciate that I can connect it to my laptop as a backup for my files.

Cons:

After getting a warning that I'm close to my data limit, Google Drive doesn't make it very easy to see which files in my drive are the largest, or which haven't been opened in a long time, in order to start cleaning things out. This makes me feel like I'm being pushed into a storage upgrade, rather than being given the tools to manage what I already have.

Cloud Storage Exchanged?

Comments: Overall it's still the best value for money and better than the others.

Pros:

Favourite features would probably be that it's easier to use than the other 2 popular offerings out there. Syncing is very easy on PC and mobile devices. I personally like the comfortable view setting that is available. Moving folders on the app is easy enough.

Cons:

Well like everything in life something's could be improved apon. The app could improve on the search function, detection of duplicate files. The filter function needs allot of work oh oh and the search function. And it would be great if more extensions worked with Google drive.

Google Drive, the cloud in your hand

Comments: Smoothly integrated with all the Google Services I'm using, Google Drive is very easy and pratical. Google Drive is part of the Google echo system, and it's very useful to bring/share your files around, backup your photos, write letters, create sheets, and even use with other online services.

Pros:

Fully integrated with Google's services, Google Drive is a very efficiant and easy to use cloud solution for your personal and professional files.

Cons:

Can be limited in some areas and doesn't offer as much space as competion
