What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Google Drive Enterprise are the secure file-sharing service. It is necessary to communicate with people, and the safe large file transfer is good. It's very useful and critical for us to communicate with each other nowadays. They integrate well with other Google solutions, such as Google Documents and Google Spreadsheet.
What needs improvement?
Google Drive Enterprise can improve by having better compatibility with Microsoft files. Google Drive Enterprise sometimes blocks Japanese characters in documents.
I'm using Slack for internal communication and with other companies. Google Drive Enterprise has some integration with chat tools, but they can do more with the chat tools in the future.
We sometimes lose track of the files. Slack can allow users to upload files, but uploading the files gets disconnected from Google Drive Enterprise. More integration is needed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Google Drive Enterprise for approximately four years.

If I didn't have Google Drive, I would need to carry all my papers physically and I could lose them.
How was the initial setup?
If you have a Google account, you have automatically a Drive. It's almost instant use. It's already pre-installed by Google, so you don't need to do anything.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Google Drive nine out of 10. It's easy to start creating something in the Drive and share it with multiple people. All you need is an email account. It's a great service.
I would recommend Google Drive, depending on what purpose you want to use it for. It's great to have your files on you everywhere, but Google Drive may not be the best solution for every purpose. It's an all-around solution, not specialized.

Easy to set up with simple document sharing and synchronization
Pros and Cons
- "For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device."
- "For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device."
- "I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience."
- "It may not scale up to an enterprise level."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for document sharing and access.
What is most valuable?
For me, the most important feature is the option to save the documents and then access it from anywhere from a mobile or a desktop, or any other device. That's the most important. Also, the synchronization options that it provides us with are great. We like the sharing options and all of that.
The initial setup is easy.
What needs improvement?
I do see some synchronization issues at times where the documents that are uploaded more recently won't show up on other devices immediately. Or sometimes it may show some corruption. Then, you may want to re-sync it if the WiFi connection is temporarily unavailable in such situations. Otherwise, it does its job pretty well.
It may not scale up to an enterprise level.
I'd like some UI enhancements for an even better user experience. That's something that I would like to see.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for the last several years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's a scalable product. I'm not sure at an enterprise level, whether it holds up. I'm not a Google Workspace user. I'm just only using it for my personal use. I'm able to handle such scenarios that work quite well. That said, at an enterprise level, how it works is hard to say.
How are customer service and support?
I have experienced technical support a couple of times, however, not for the Drive. For some other product. That was, in terms of the response time, pretty good.
That said, the resolution will still depend on the complexity of the issue. They may just be passing it on to another team and then they may get back to you after their investigation. As a part of the Google One membership, if you have a subscription, then you get a proper response.
There was one issue I had where I needed to recover an account that I had, and it never let me recover. It kept throwing an error for that. I had logged a few incidents and then I don't think they resolved it. However, in most cases, it was quite smooth.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm familiar with Sandbox. We mostly are users of other Google products. The integration that it has with Gmail and the other products that we use, that's something that makes it easy for personal use. For enterprise, I'm not an enterprise user for Google, so I may not be able to comment on how it would work for very large organizations.
How was the initial setup?
It's a fairly simple setup. Those who are used to the basic terminologies, et cetera, shouldn't be finding it much too difficult. Those who are already in the Google ecosystem should not find it very difficult. It is pretty straightforward for basic users unless you want to use the advanced features. That shouldn't be an issue.
What other advice do I have?
I'm an end-user.
I normally use the web version.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Google Drive is free.
