About Google Drive
Google Drive is a cloud storage and backup platform to access files, docs, photos & more, store them in a safe place, and collaborate with other people. The Google Drive platform can be accessed wherever the user is at the time, from in their home to on-the-go, or in the office, meaning files can be accessed, shared, edited, collaborated on, and more.
The security and backup features within Google Drive mean that files are protected and safely stored even when technological disasters occur. No matter what happens to the users' devices, their files are safely stored in Google Drive.
Google Drive allows users to do more than just store their files. Users can share files with exactly who they want and edit them together, from any device. Google Drive gives instant access to Google Docs, a suite of editing tools that makes working together easy—even when your teammates are miles away.

Google drive has been my favourite right from my college days. The tool is very handy to share documents, images, etc. You can create multiple folders and segregate your files as well.
Pros
You can use Google Drive as a cloud storage to save any type of files - images, videos, documents, etc. One can share these files with anyone with the help of just a link. You can also manage control of whom to share what.
Cons
Google drive is unbeatable. There is no downside that I can think of.

An essential online drive
Reviewed on 2023/01/25
Pros
The security of this drive is the best feature, and it gives us a built-in option to protect ourselves from spam and malware, which is a great feature to have because it allows us to share, access, and manage our files with great confidence. On the other hand, I also like the ability to recover lost or deleted files from the archive folder, which is a really great feature that lets me recover any old data.
Cons
The thing I despise the most is Google Slides. It's a fantastic alternative, but in my case it's not functioning well. It's difficult to construct a PowerPoint presentation using this feature, and it's also slow when presenting to others, so I wish it worked better.

Google drive review by Jen
Reviewed on 2023/01/31
Pros
The product is very easy to use. Google Drive actually has automatic backup and shareable links. Personal accounts normally cost nothing and business or large capacity accounts are on the low end of the pricing spectrums.
Cons
Upon opening a second account and attempting to upload years of accumulated receipts and documents I was informed that only a limited number of files may be uploaded per 24 hr period. In everyday life this isn't a concern but in certain circumstances it may become problematic.Working with Google offline isn't always a happy experience.
