Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use
I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.

I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync
We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups.  The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again. It takes too long for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Google Drive Enterprise is storage and the mobile version. We can connect to Google Drive, on our Android phones and store all our documents, for later access at any time. It is a very flexible solution."
"Accessing their services is simple, user-friendly, and does not require a lot of technology."
"The solution's most valuable features are its performance and availability."
"Google Drive is always up when I need it, so I don't have any complaints."
"I like the ease with which you can share files securely with the team. It makes file and information sharing much easier than sending attachments."
"The initial setup of Google Drive Enterprise was very straightforward with no issues at all."
"The most valuable feature of Google Drive is its seamless integration across mobile devices and computers."
"The solution secures the data well."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"It helps you keep organized."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
 

Cons

"Security-wise, Google Drive Enterprise needs improvement. Compared to its competitor: Kiteworks, Google Drive Enterprise is less secure."
"I am not sure what will happen if you forget to renew your license."
"I have sometimes observed that when the data is very huge or there are so many rules, Google Sheets documents get stuck while uploading. It keeps on loading the document and gives an error. There should be an improvement in this aspect. It should be quick. Currently, we have to wait for a long time."
"The search function in Google Drive Enterprise could be improved as it currently requires looking through many documents to find the right one."
"It would be ideal if they could offer more GBs for free. Offering 15GBs is too small."
"Google Drive Enterprise is not scalable."
"There are still many restrictions on what the solution can do on the GenAI front, and much work needs to be done there."
"If somebody has made changes, for example, there should be a timestamp. Also, if two or three people are working and someone deletes something, a mechanism to retrieve the previous version should be available."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Google Drive Enterprise a four out of five compared to other competitors."
"I have evaluated Amazon AWS and IBM solutions. Amazon AWS has competitive prices for cloud storage and backups."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution."
"I use the free version."
"In the free subscription, Google Drive Enterprise provides limited integrations. You get basic integration features, but for more extensive API usage, a paid subscription is required. Even with the paid subscription, there are limits on free API usage, such as a certain number of calls per day or month."
"The product is available for free, so I don't need to pay for it."
"The solution has a subscription-based license."
"The product is free."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
