Application reviews Google Drive

The most convenient storage

I use several storages, but google disk is the most convenient for me. The free space has long ended, I bought paid gigabytes - now there is enough space, I will renew my paid subscription. I like that Google reminds of the next write-off in a month (there is time to revise the files and cancel the subscription if the additional gigabytes are no longer needed).

I don’t know how I used to live without him

Liked

Integration with Google documents and other cloud products

Disliked

I would like more space on the free plan)

Most adequate file storage I’ve seen

I have been using it for 6 years, but I still have a place

Liked

usability

I have had a disk for a very long time, more than five years for sure. and although I use it extensively, there is still room and nothing is lost. I also like that you can log in from a laptop, and from a phone, and in both cases it is quick access. and it is convenient to work with different devices, regardless of its size

you can log in from any device

Liked

can be accessed from any device

Disliked

no

If I forget my phone at home, then I can always go to my google drive (most importantly, remember my username and password) from my work computer, or ask a friend to use his phone (I already take the presence of the Internet for granted, so stop here I will not) to view the information I need on MY disk.

One of the best services I’ve come across

Reliability

Functionality

Plugin availability

Built-in office

Disliked

If we compare the cost of packages with Yandex Drive, then Google Drive is more expensive. But at the same time, the price is average compared to other services

Lack of a large number of tariff packages. For example, there is no tariff for 1 TB, there is for 2 TB for $ 99

Lack of official software with GUI for Linux

One of the most reliable services I’ve come across. So would have used it for years if not for the cost of their packages. For comparison, in Yandex for 34 dollars you can take 1 TB of disk, and Google offers 2 TB for 99 dollars, but you cannot take a package with 1 TB of disk.

Inconvenient to share links

Disliked

It is very inconvenient to make sharing a link to friends! Before, everything was clear and simple. Now they have complicated it to the point of horror ... Additional and unnecessary questions pop up in the windows, then add groups, then the name of friends, etc. Wasn’t it enough to make ONE selection - everyone who has a link to it can watch the video !!! Therefore, I ask you to remove unnecessary unnecessary questions, this only confuses people. Thank you.

Overall impression is good service, but needs to be tweaked.

Nothing can be shared

Liked

15 GB free

Disliked

They cannot be used

I for work and not only regularly and for a long time (10 years) used google drive. Recently, we have started to selectively show notifications "This item may violate the Terms of Service" when trying to share files. It appears absolutely randomly on some files, it is not subject to any appeal, in most cases refilling does not help. Not recommended.

Safe service

Liked

Access control, search, convenience

Disliked

No user management.

I like the approach to security. And there is encryption and two-factor authentication. Conveniently, you can store up to 15GB for free

We do all documents only in Google dox

The best service for documents in the cloud. It is possible to edit the command online 👍🏼

Wonderful storage

Just a cloud of dreams, for any person. Undoubtedly one of the best of its kind, incredibly easy to use. The biggest advantage is the ability to use it on any device and always have access to the files you need.

The best safe for your data

Nice-looking and user-friendly interface

Offline access available

Decent price

Many different functions

I have never enjoyed support, so I cannot rate this item. For the rest I put 5.

Doesn’t load ALL videos

Liked

Lots of space

Disliked

Doesn’t load ALL videos

I upload 157 videos, in the end it downloads 156, and how should I search for the missing video among this list? It’s inconvenient, time-consuming, frustrating.

Huge icons

Disliked

I didn’t like the kind of information about the files. Huge icons and little space for file names. It is inconvenient to work with files if their names exceed a certain (too small) length

This is probably a service for non-professional work.

Wretchedness compared to Yandex disk?

Liked

Usability

Disliked

Does not save the download process in case of network failures, you have to start downloading the file to disk again

Terrible support, compared to Yandex, there is no support for downloads in case of network failures!

Comfortable but little space

Liked

  • the interface is convenient and understandable
  • nice design
  • advanced functionality (more than the office and Yandex disk)
  • a lot of information and tips on how to work
  • everything works without lags
  • synchronization with all devices
  • it’s convenient to work together (the main thing is to understand)
  • it’s convenient to work with access rights
  • synchronization with folders on your computer, i.e. you can download a program with which you can work with folders on your computer, and they themselves are synchronized with the cloud, well, very convenient

Disliked

  • 15 GB is not enough

I use it for personal needs, because little space. There would be more free space, I would use it more often. Of course Yandex is far away. For a long time I did not want to switch to Yandex.Disk, because that editor has a terrible editor, but there is not enough space, I had to switch to Yandex. there profitably got a lot of free storage. 

Terrible Google Drive Client

Liked

Before the creation of the Google Drive Client, it was more or less bearable, but after March 2018 HORROR. 

PART OF FILES STOPPED TO OPEN AT ALL!

Disliked

Lack of clarity of the system, lack of intelligible descriptions, difficulties in working together.

The impression that the developers have spoiled the service on purpose! 

Everything is fine when you have less than 10 GB

Liked

Free 15GB storage

Disliked

You cannot download normally large amounts of data.

Obvious file synchronization problems, when uploading 200 GB, it took 30 days.

2 times more expensive than analogs

Difficult delete something from the disk. I constantly clean the trash can now on the device or on the disk, old files pop up at startup.

I wanted to move my data to the cloud, and as a result, it turned into a problem in which I lost some of the data I needed.

It’s okay for little things, although it doesn’t stand out from the rest of the clouds

Documents, Sharing and Just Reliable Storage

Liked

  • Available on any device
  • Access control: convenient to use for work and personal needs
  • Integrated with Google Docs (well, still not), as a result - it is convenient to solve work questions with documents requiring the participation of several people
  • Many integrations with Internet services (for example, Draw.io)

Disliked

  • Cost - there are cheaper services, but their functionality is much lower

I have been using it for several years. There is practically no alternative service (even after switching to Apple technology) in terms of the number of integrated services and general convenience. Together with other products from Google G Suite, it is easy to organize a reliable and convenient infrastructure for your office in the cloud.

I tried different services, but google drive is still the best. He simply has no downsides. You can perfectly organize your cloud, or work on projects in a team. Service integrations are very pleasing. Especially charting and design applications. Cool stuff. True, I would add the ability to screw icons to folders. But these are all little things, the service is super!

One of the three...

Liked

  1. Joint (simultaneous) work with documents
  2. Built-in editor
  3. Good synchronization speed

Disliked

  1. Small volume
  2. "Weeds" when importing / exporting XLSX files

One of three cloud services I use.

Very good for brainstorming, even remote. You can discuss the price list with your partner via skype / phone and edit the same document at the same time.

It is very convenient to give customers a "read-only" link to this price list. It always remains relevant. You will forget the situation when the client has old prices or you need to send out a mailing every time the price list is updated.

The main disadvantage of Google is its volume, it is sorely lacking. Therefore, you have to use 2 additional clouds.

I respect Google

Liked

+ free

Disliked

there are none

Previously, we used Yandex.Disk, but due to the recent law in Ukraine, it became necessary to upload everything to Google disk, since it is difficult for work partners and some employees to enter the Yandex disk. The choice fell on a google drive, and there were no inconveniences.

Problems opening files from the network

Liked

Bonus 100 gigabytes when purchasing devices. ASUS

Disliked

Prevents playback of * .3gpp files directly from disk from the network

In the documentation, the ability to connect additional. There seem to be applications for opening different types of files, and I’m doing everything right, but it doesn’t work! Installed programs are not added to the "open with" menu

Convenient document storage

Liked

Good integration with Google services

Simple interface

Convenient integration and display of folders on Mac computers (it’s hard to say about Windows because I haven’t used it for a long time)

Disliked

Perhaps from the category of paranoia, but still at the expense of Google servers and where the data is stored and who has access to it)

Not so much free space as, for example, in the same mailing cloud

Excellent user-friendly service, good integration with other Google products. Convenient for teamwork

The best cloud!

I didn’t immediately understand how what works and does not update files very quickly (when changing them on another device)

I only use to send large files by mail to Gmail

Google is good!

Liked

Photos and videos can be viewed and organized in both Google Photos and Google Drive. Optionally, you can create a Google Photos folder under My Drive to group your pictures and videos into subfolders. At the same time, photos that are visible in both Google Photos and Drive will not take up double the amount of space available to you in your Google account

Great storage for your information

Complete, functional cloud storage. Ideal for everyday needs

Ability to send large files via Gmail;

Intuitive, well-designed interface;

Cross-platform.

I use Google Drive very often, almost several times a week. I store all kinds of files in the cloud - from graduation photos to firmware for my phone. I like the service very much, everything is clear, fast and convenient. The Disk has everything that I need for my needs. Minuses, although they probably exist, I personally did not notice.

Confusion with the rights, and so it is quite trivial

Liked

Free, Google security, secure storage.

For me personally, they are not yet available

The service allows you to work with tables and other files anywhere. My accounting is always with me. I can quickly keep track of funds, take important notes and quickly access my files from anywhere. Level-up security, 2-Step Verification is great.

Google, which is almost perfect.

Liked

Ease of working with documents. Including pictures, tables.

Explosive acceleration of work on a document in a group. Especially in a highly distributed group across the country. It’s hard to imagine day-to-day work without simultaneously editing tables. It may not be important for everyone, but it is very important for me in my work.

Disliked

Minus - unobvious navigation.

The main disadvantage of google disk is that it is google disk. That is, a foreign company, foreign servers.

The more documents are stacked there, the more often the thought comes - and if it is chopped off? 

Maybe on our part in connection with a change in legislation, or maybe in the form of a sanction from the west.

Sooner or later, you will have to move to another platform. Better early.

Google is clearly the best. Always ahead of others, constantly thinking about what to improve, to redo, to make it more convenient.

Google Drive is always there. Always at hand!

Liked

The advantage of this cloud service is that the optimization and integration is done at an excellent level, regardless of the platform. 

You can use it both through a web browser and through an application on a smartphone or a special "cloud" folders on your computer.

Disliked

The only drawback is that those who like to store a very large volume of files will have to pay extra for the volume of the cloud itself

Great service. I advise everyone

Great cloud service! Became the second, which I started using, and at the moment is the best for me. Firstly, this is the automatic synchronization of photos from all devices - a huge plus, all photos can be viewed at any time right in the cloud. Secondly, it is an opportunity to work with all documents directly in Google services, without leaving the resource. Very convenient, I advise!

The best cloud service ever!

A very convenient system for maintaining small databases, used in work:

1. Setting different access levels. You can make different documents with different levels of access, for example, editing for employees, commenting for bosses, for home control and data use, but without the ability to harm the project - only viewing.

2. The very essence of the cloud system is access to documents from anywhere, where there is the Internet (and at the very least there is even an offline access function). You can forget the USB flash drive with the documents, the disk may not be read, but here you just need to remember your Google account password :)

3. Several people can work in the system at once, this is very convenient for the constant exchange of data without wasting time on sending documents by the same mail, for example. 

4. Automatic saving of data. You don’t have to worry about internet failures or blackouts. They are saved permanently as soon as you enter new data.

5. Long training of new employees is not required, because nowadays everyone knows MS office. It is much more difficult to teach a person to work in 1c or other specific databases, which are different for each employer.

Disliked

Less functionality compared to a classic office. For example, Google Sheets have very inconvenient filters and data editing capabilities. The functionality can be expanded, but for a fee :) And I don’t know if it will help.

It helps a lot in my work, I practically don’t use it for home. Many systems and databases are tied to these documents, without them anywhere!
