Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Apple Files is an essential platform to be able to manage the documents or files you have on your iPhone device. The things I liked were: 1- Apple Files allows that directly to each of the actions of your mobile device, all the documents and files that you have within your iPhone device, in addition, it allows you to create new folders to be able to correctly manage the files and to be able to organize them by section, you will be able to store store them inside a specific folder with the help of Apple Files. 2- A function that I really like is the recently deleted function, it allows you to access the files that have been recently deleted from your iPhone mobile device, I love files or documents stored for 30 days, so you can recover them if you need them for some urgency. 3- This platform allows you to add a label to each of the files or folders that you have created within Apple Files, it is very important since it allows me to add labels with different names and with different colors for each of the files, this helps me a lot to be able to detect files I'm specifically looking for. 4- I love that the platform has a connectivity and a half with the iCloud system, this is quite important since it allows me to transfer files from my mobile device to my computer using the iCloud Drive function. I can move any type of file from my mobile device to this folder so that I can access it within iCloud on my computer.
  • Apple Files is a perfect application to be able to manage the storage of your mobile device or manage rationing of your iCloud account, the first positive aspect of this iCloud platform, because you can insert or store new files within your iCloud account using With this application on your mobile device, you can drag new files or documents to the iCloud folder and automatically those files will be sent to the cloud, in addition, it has this function that displays everything that is stored in that iCloud storage in real time For example, if you have inserted a new file inside that folder from your computer, you will be able to access that file using your mobile phone immediately. Another aspect that I really liked about this platform is that it allows you to add new tags to each of the files stored on your mobile device or within the iCloud system, these tags are quite good since they allow you to identify important files, you can add a different label with different colors for each of the files, in addition, another important function of this platform is the scanning of new documents, you can scan anywhere with this function and the platform will automatically create a new document where you will write in detail all missing information, this function is very important to create from the scan with your phone camera. Another important function that can be found within this platform is that you can access files deleted a short time ago, this function is essential as it allows you to recover information on your mobile device that you have deleted by mistake, in addition, I have loved the system of Sharing files or documents, files in real time with anyone who is registered in your contacts or with anyone you register within iCloud, just by accessing this section, you can choose with whom you want to share a specific file.

Cons

  • A very important function that is missing within this platform is the cleaning function, there is no type of function within this platform to be able to delete unnecessary files or copies of files that are necessary, this function would be very important to keep safe and fully accessible the storage space within your mobile device, I would love for this platform to implement this cleaning system. Another negative point of this platform is that it does not have any type of access to the iCloud Drive subscription, for example, if you want to increase your iCloud plan, you will have to directly access your iCloud account and buy one of the plans, this You must do it from your computer, since this platform does not allow you to increase the storage space of your cloud to the application, you must necessarily access iCloud.
  • Apple Files presents a majority of quite positive functions, that platform helps you keep your files and documents completely safe and managed, however, the first negative aspect of this platform is the function of connecting to the server, it would not allow you to remotely connect to any server, correctly typing the server address and port of that server, you will be able to connect immediately to extract some type of file or store new files, however, this function does not fulfill its objective correctly, since most of the servers that do not connect In addition, this collection of servers is currently used, which will cause the export and import of files or documents to be very slow. Another negative aspect that I could notice about this platform is that it is not customizable at all, the user cannot customize this platform to improve the community when it comes to managing their documents and files, there is no type of function to edit the interface platform overview.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Google Drive is a pretty good system to be able to improve storage for both personal and business use. The main aspect that I liked about this platform is its connectivity with the Google account, this connectivity and synchronization is very important to be able to maintain a constant storage within this platform, because this synchronization allows you to share files in real time, between the devices that are linked to your Google account. In addition, each of the images, documents or files that you upload from your mobile device, you can see in real time when it is fully uploaded from your computer, this synchronization is immediate and very beneficial for all types of companies. Another thing that I liked about Google Drive is the way in which it allows me to edit all types of documents, without having to download them, in addition, it also allows me to view documents online, without having to download the documents, within my computer, this storage system has an integrated service to be able to view documents online, which is great, since you do not have an application to view documents, you just have to use this cloud service. Another feature that I must highlight is in relation to the prices that this platform handles, the price for hiring more storage space is relatively accessible and very cheap, compared to other cloud storage platforms, I consider that Google Drive has the most affordable prices on the market today, and it is completely secure cloud storage at a price that you will not find anywhere else.
  • It is a secure point of storage and you can block unauthorized access to your files. It has allowed easy sharing of the files , documents and create PDF or cluster your documents for easy access
  • The available space for files storage is limitless. It is affordable costs nothing and very secure in storing both files and documents. Has ability to convert your files into any formats needed either PDFs or any other.
  • Mostly I use Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Forms for my work and it's easy to share and store. Features are very easy to use.
  • 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.

Cons

  • There are several things that can be improved within Google Drive, the main feature that I did not like is in relation to its general design, the design as a platform is quite simple and very basic for all users, in addition, there is no type of function or way to modify this design, either to change the colors of it or change the general interface of Google Drive, I would like the user interface to be able to be modified to the user's taste, in this way I will be able to use a cloud service, which allows me to modify the design depending on my comfort. Another thing that I did not like about Google Drive is that this platform forces the user to maintain an active and stable Internet connection. At all times, otherwise you will not be able to access any type of document or image stored within your system, in the cloud, this is quite negative, I would like the platform to save very small copies of each of the stored files, in this way each of those files can be accessed, without needing to maintain an active Internet connection, this would be quite good for users who have a poor Internet connection.
  • When too loaded it may get lagging but it doesn't stop it from functioning so that doesn't sound like a dislike whatsoever.
  • I have not encountered any dislike it's as simple as it looks.
  • I do not find anything that I dislike about Google Drive.
  • A great application became useless. When I upload a file from my device, I open drive on other devices and the file is not there. Sometimes it can't upload a single file or photo and it says it's uploading but never upload.
