Can keep all my files, emails etc in one area for easy access. Keeps things organized > > **Cons**: Almost has TOO many options. To many features. Can’t grasp all of them. Would need to spend weeks figuring out every function. > > I do like it. Makes my job easier and easy to share stuff between coworkers. Makes things easy to store and find ----- ### "Project Storage Anywhere" — 5.0/5 > **Zachariah** | *6 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Frees up a lot of data storage on local devices so more secure files have priority to be stored, which brings ease of use in collaboration with a work team that needs note taking and text editing for document management across the cloud. Great customer support to pick up everyone’s share of work and pick up where we left off. Great value for money since there is now a single pipeline to work from > > **Cons**: The one thing that stood out to me was how I needed to go out of my way to find guides for new features, but once I did it was easy to use > > Every project I start with Google Drive as the main storage point across our team makes it easier to share edits and ideas letting us reach our goals faster ----- ### "Googly driver" — 4.0/5 > **Cheyanne** | *9 August 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Google Drive is the ease of use and that it can be gotten from any device across any device at any time. > > **Cons**: What I like least about Google Drive is it kinda is confusing to use it first at least and it’s a bit time-consuming to find your files. > > Overall, Google Drive hasn’t been too bad little confusing at first bit hard to find files and documents that you want to find quick like but other than that we’re all good. ----- ### "Google Drive for Storing Photos" — 5.0/5 > **Graham Brian** | *18 June 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It retains the folder structure from the source. You can buy more Tb of storage. It can be viewed as Google Photos in just date order, or access through the folder structure. Uploads are seamless. If you specify Google Drive as the upload then it matches the documents in the folder. If you specify upload by Google Photos it retains originals and every edit. I specify upload as Google Drive so that photos in folders match the source. > > **Cons**: Google Photos option to upload keeps every edit meaning space is used up quicker. In comparison with OneDrive the options are more extensive but understanding how it uploads to the cloud is quite complex. > > My overall experience is good. It is not overly expensive to buy additional storage space compared with OneDrive. ----- ### "A 100% Satisfied Google Drive User" — 5.0/5 > **Elaine Dinah** | *21 July 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are many reasons why I like Google Drive. I've been using it for a long time to manage documents that are mostly related to personalized lesson planning for each of my students. It provides an easy way to save information I found on the internet and retrieve it later. On top of that, I would take notes from browsing some platforms/sites, put them on Google Docs, and edit them afterward in preparation for collaborations with my partners. I'm not worried about not having enough space because the storage is unbelievably massive, and I can easily get more if I want to since the prices are very reasonable and worth the purchase. One more thing that I haven't tried yet, since there was no reason to, is to contact customer support. BUT, be assured that it's right there and just one click away. > > **Cons**: At the moment, I honestly can't think of anything negative about Google Drive. It has been very helpful for me all these years. > > My overall experience was nothing but wonderful. It made my life as a teacher, affiliate marketer, and content creator more organized. ----- Page: 1 / 1145\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/105807/google-drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/105807/google-drive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
