    Summary: Overall experience is really good because easy to upload, download or delete files and folders. Brilliant free product.

    Positive: Google Drive is one of the better Google apps. I have several device and use it to more files from one device to another. This app has so many important features. Easy to use and user friendly.

    Summary: Google Drive delivers stable space for content, which is well secured and there are credible access mechanisms.
    Google Drive is freely issued, hence there is suitable growth in terms of cloud storage and database control.

    Positive: Google Drive is offered for free, where after having a Google account, the developer issues the subscribers the tool.

    Great for collaboration

    Date: Mar 24 2022

    Summary: I use it for personal projects and work projects. I find it great for sharing excel files with my team so we can edit them at the same time.

    Positive: - Share files with ease
    - Very similar to Microsoft products making it user-friendly
    - Access files from any device

    Negative: - Recently added limit to overall storage so you have to pay if you want to store more. Having used gmail and google drive for years, I immediately was over the threshold for free storage and now I can't edit any of my document unless I pay google.
    - Would be cool to see a feature that allowed you to track your history of changes and go back if need be in case someone else made an edit you needed to revert. However, there could already be a plugin for this as I haven't searched for this solution.
    - Also would be cool if being a Google guide could give users a discount on or free extra storage space.

    Date: Nov 25 2020

    Summary: It's really brilliant! Now I don't have to worry about losing students' work or organize a zillion emails of their submissions. Now it's all in one place.

    Positive: It is a perfect place to organize virtual work that is handed in during this pandemic! Now I can grade/comment on students work within the drive!

    Negative: The downfall isn't Google Drives' fault, but sometimes parents/students who aren't very tech savvy have trouble figuring out how to submit work within a folder or at all. They get frustrated during the learning curve.

    You won't need another cloud storage program

    Date: Jun 22 2020

    Summary: I think it's really useful to have your important data backed up in a remote computer just in case of a rainy day. Google drive lets you do that for free!

    Excellent cloud storage facility

    Date: Jun 21 2020

    Positive: • Absolutely recommend Drive for all your storage needs.

    • You can invite people to work on your files together. It's basically a virtual conference for data.
    • I love the offline storage options. Gives a lot of flexibility.
    • There are edit, view, comment options for link sharing, which is handy.
    • Downloading is fast, even for larger files.
    • Easy ways to categorize data into folders or search for them, and you can upload any type of files.

    Google Drive

    Date: Jun 19 2020

    Summary: All in all, I have been using Google Drive for years now and it has eliminated the need for backing up my computer to an external hard drive, I have upgraded my account to purchase more space which is a reasonable price.

    Negative: Sometimes the servers can be a little bit on the slow side for large files in my opinion, I have a super fast internet connection, but really large files can take some time which can be an issue.

    Summary: My experience with the Google Drive is very good. I mostly use google drive to store all my work files as well as personal files. It becomes easy to share a document with the help of drive and one can set options like who can edit or view the document. All of the content from slides, sheets, and docs end up in the drive as a one-stop storage place which helps in organizing files.

    It is a definite recommendation but once when a person finishes the free data the price will be a bomb.

    Positive: (+) Very easy to use and great UI and UX.
    (+) All of the files on email, slides, sheets end up in the google drive.
    (+) The sharing of files is very easy security-wise.
    (+)Free of cost and provides 15GB data, for enterprise accounts basic, is 30GB.
    (+) Very fast and real-time changes can be seen.
    (+) The mobile application is a plus where you can easily access all the necessary documents you will ever need.

    Negative: (-) Sharing of files can be a problem sometimes when the link is accessed too many times the file will become unavailable.
    (-) Lag in the download of big files can be observed at times of server crowding.
    (-) No backup for deleted files, one cannot access it again.
