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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It offers a robust ecosystem of third-party integrations that can extend its functionality and enhance its value. It has improved its user interface and ease of use over the years, making it easier to create, share, and access content across sites and devices. It provides a high level of security and compliance features such as version control, retention policies, records management, legal holds, electronic discovery, and auditing. It supports multiple document libraries, lists, calendars, wikis, blogs, forums, surveys, and other types of content that can be customized and organized according to the needs of each team or project. It enables real-time collaboration and co-authoring of documents with internal or external users, as well as commenting and voting capabilities. It allows users to create workflows and automate business processes using Power Automate or other tools. It has a powerful search engine that can help users find relevant content on sites and documents, as well as customizable search capabilities for advanced users.
  • Microsoft SharePoint has the strategic ways of making the sharing of information straightforward and simplistic. Microsoft SharePoint delivers suitable ways of scanning the authorized information users. It integrates with numerous systems that deals with information.
  • Microsoft SharePoint is a strong and reliable storage and sharing solution, where organization and other business needs are well determined. More so, Microsoft SharePoint has the compatibility with different social programs. The security of the stored files is high and systematic.
  • This tool is great and is one that I currently utilize for collaboration with one of the nonprofits we serve.
  • MS SharePoint is a great tool for project team collaboration. You can easily create a project team home page to store and share relevant documents, announcements, progress reports, and team information like contact list and organization charts.

Cons

  • It can be expensive and complex to implement, configure, customize, and manage, especially for large or distributed organizations. May require experts or consultants to ensure proper use and adoption. You may have some errors or crashes while creating or editing SharePoint pages or documents, such as the inability to change the number of columns or insert images. It does not have a desktop or app version that can be used offline or separate from the browser. It would be helpful to have a separate option with more features that align with Microsoft Office. It can be difficult to keep things organized within SharePoint, especially when there are multiple sites or libraries with similar or overlapping content. It would be helpful to have more options for filtering, tagging, or grouping sites or content.
  • Microsoft SharePoint has the value for every communications transaction, and useful mechanisms are well outlined to suit the business use. Further, Microsoft SharePoint is a resourceful platform in making changes.
  • Microsoft SharePoint offers efficient access sharing procedures, and there is proper follow u in all business needs. However, Microsoft SharePoint is pricey, and there is a challenge in new subscriber having the tool.
  • It is challenging to collaborate with external individuals.
  • Ironically, like most Microsoft tools, MS SharePoint keeps gaining functionality which is great, but then sometimes the basic things get more complicated because there are so many options. An example is that sometimes functionality that I use most often get buried into a "menu" or "layer" or something moves to another location unexpectedly...especially since as a SaaS solution the change can happen overnight.
