We can easily share files with the company, and everything is backed up. The UI is great to use, and there is multiple ways to access files (app, desktop, website), which means I can always find what I need wherever I am. > > **Cons**: The only thing I don't like is the suggested files, they don't seem that accurate to what I'd like to view. Opening at the 'My drive' or 'Recents' on the homepage would be more useful for me, or the option to change the homepage. > > As a google workspace company, drive is integral for our workflows. I can store all my file, share internally and externally, and easily preview files of many different types. We can also connect to other apps so files can be used seamlessly across our product stategy. ----- ### "We Love Drive\!" — 5.0/5 > **Trinidad** | *26 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Drive is a phenomenal program and application.
