It's so easy and it has so many features that make my life so easy\! The document management for example makes me organize everything, the fact I can share my docs with other peers and collaborate with them makes all easy\! Plus they can write on it and edit it to end the job\!. > > **Cons**: What I would say upsets me it's the fact that I have too many files so I run out of space often and I don't/can't delete the files due to work issues. I never had to use the customer service. > > It's a lifesaver, the only thing I would like is if it could be add more free extra space for the cloud. ----- ### "Google Drive in the office" — 5.0/5 > **haley** | *31 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the standout features is the powerful search functionality. Honestly, I can quickly find documents, PDFs, images, and even videos without having to dig through endless folders. It saves me a ton of time and frustration\! I also really appreciate how the files are automatically saved and synced. Knowing that I have backups in place gives me peace of mind, especially when I'm working on important projects. Plus, the option for desktop backup is a nice touch for extra security. The integration with Docs, Sheets, and Slides makes it feel like a complete workspace. Everything I need is under one roof, which means I can work more efficiently without constantly switching between apps. Another perk is the data storage of 15 GB across Gmail and Photos. That’s a decent amount of space, and it definitely helps keep my files organized without having to worry too much about running out. > > **Cons**: Keeping track of who has access to what can feel like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. It’s especially tricky when it comes to external users; managing their access often turns into a tedious task. You find yourself constantly double-checking permissions. > > Overall, Google Drive is reliable, user-friendly, and perfect for anyone who needs a handy way to store and share files. I definitely recommend it\! ----- ### "Google Drive - The cloud storage for Individual Users" — 3.0/5 > **Raylon** | *14 July 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google drive functioned similarly to competing products such as one drive, We loved that it was very user friendly > > **Cons**: Google Drive was lacking customizable features and was not very interactable with Microsoft products such as SharePoint. Nor was it friendly to integrate into our website. > > Google drive may be a great product for an individual or small business of 20 or less. However, it was not for us. ----- ### "Easy to use and Affordable Cloud Storage" — 5.0/5 > **Sir** | *21 January 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that google drive is an affordable option to storage my files on the cloud, that it has an easy access with its mobile app and that I can upload all types of documents. > > **Cons**: The only thing I dislike about Google Drive is that my files sometimes lose the original "Created" date information when I download them in a new device. > > Google drive has been a life changer for me, since I can access my files on any computer, just by logging into my account, it has given me flexibility, I loved it since day 1. ----- ### "Google Drive is the Reigning Collaboration Champion" — 5.0/5 > **Charlie** | *31 March 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Drive has been consistently the most easy to use document manager ever. Since high school, the collaboration features have been so useful in group projects, and I've been able to store all of my school data in Google Drive with the most ease. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, Google drive has issues with collaboration and sharing tools, but whenever I talk to customer support, they just about every time help me with my issue. > > Overall, google Drive has been consistently the best document collaboration tool I've used. It's a game changer for note taking, and the storage upgrades is a fantastic value for the money. ----- Page: 1 / 1141\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/90762/google-drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/90762/google-drive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
