Sharing files is super simple, I just copy link and people get access, no fuss. Collaboration in Docs and Sheets is great, we edit same file at same time and no conflicts. Search finds old files even when I forget the name, that saves me lots of time. Auto save has saved me more than once when my laptop crashed mid edit. Integrations with Gmail and calendar make life easier, everything just links up. > > **Cons**: One thing I am not fond of is that it is connected to email storage , i have drive on my phone and it has automatic back up on and its almost filled up my 15 gb storage and since I use smae email it is creating problems in a email storage as well Folders get messy fast when everyone saves in their own way, hard to keep tidy. Offline sync sometimes fails and I had to reupload files after a trip. Big files upload slow on bad wifi and it can be annoying waiting. Permissions can be confusing, I once shared a folder too open by mistake. Version history is useful but finding the exact old version is not always easy. Not great for heavy media management, needs a proper DAM for big teams. > > Overall I use Drive for almost everything, work docs, notes, and quick sharing. It makes teamwork easier because everyone sees latest file and no more email attachments. Small sync hiccups and messy folders are annoying but not dealbreakers for me. The free tier is handy for personal use and company plan gives enough storage. I’d recommend it to most teams, just set folder rules so people don’t dump files everywhere. For daily work it saves time and keeps things simple, that’s why I keep using it. ----- ### "Google Drives me impatient" — 3.0/5 > **Jesse** | *March 2, 2026* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Essentiel workspace ecosystem. Easy to use interface. Overall handy product with a fast loading time. > > **Cons**: The main bad aspect is the search bar, which is also a highly important one -- the most important and critical. It is difficult to find the documents we need. ----- ### "One stop destination for Cloud Storage Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Swagat** | *April 16, 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use, fast, and smooth to share files to people. What I absolutely love about Google Drive is their cost. No other cloud storage solution can beat it's price I reckon. I'm using 2TB storage for just about $15 CAD per month. How insane is that? > > **Cons**: No complains so far. Absolutely in love with Google Drive. I just wished if they had more options to upgrade or degrade the storage size. Right now, I'm on a 2TB plan, but I'm barely using that. I wanted to degrade the size to 1TB, but they don't seem to have an option for that. > > Have been using google drive to store photos/videos for my side-hustle photography/videography business. ----- ### "Google is the gold standard" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *November 27, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free. Never needed support because it just works. It's intuitive and there's not bugs. It hosts documents better than outlook. Makes it easy to share files and send them with others. It's cheap for extra storage. google search on my files? yes please > > **Cons**: I dislike that my current company uses outlook, and Maybe google can up its conversion efforts and save those of us stuck on it. > > Used it for 15 years for 3 jobs and entrepreneurial initiatives as well, and have never been frustrated with it ----- ### "Easy to Use, Tons of Integration Options" — 5.0/5 > **Katelynn** | *October 15, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the integration options it has with so many different softwares/platforms, making it even easier to share or upload files wherever needed. > > **Cons**: It seems like the 'date modified' section isn't always accurate, which can be a bit annoying because there have been times where I know for sure I uploaded an image 1+ month ago, but the date modified will show me 1 week ago, for example. > > It's a really pleasant platform, much preferred over using OneDrive as I used to. Everything you need to get out of it is easy to understand \& utilize. ----- Page: 1 / 1139\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/161425/drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
