This product is really recommended to colleagues and friends. First its free 15GB free storage is really a life saver. I stored most of my personal and business photo there that for sure will be needed on the future. Second is the ability of the product to back up your files to multiple device, just make sure to log in your email that registered on the Google drive. If youre tired of keeping files on your device this is a life saver. > > **Cons**: The only problems I encounter of this the slow uploading of files which sometimes frustrating specially if the file is big and cannot access the files if you dont have internet access unless you are going to download it beforehand. > > Google drive is very useful on backing up files. You can store up to 15 GB. It is very cheap also that anyone can access into. For my personal and business files this is very helpful that you can store your important files. ----- ### "It gets better and better" — 5.0/5 > **Michele** | *23 February 2019* | Human Resources Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hudge storage space without the need for constant plan upgrades > > **Cons**: The admin area is a bit too complicated if there is the need to analyze details in the activity log > > As a company we are moving almost all our data on the cloud for better access (wherever we are), for increased security and to be able to have backup copies of the files. ----- ### "Drive that just works, but folders get messy with small sync bugs" — 4.0/5 > **Harshul** | *10 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Google Drive every day at work and it just opens fast, no waiting. Sharing files is super simple, I just copy link and people get access, no fuss. Collaboration in Docs and Sheets is great, we edit same file at same time and no conflicts. Search finds old files even when I forget the name, that saves me lots of time. Auto save has saved me more than once when my laptop crashed mid edit. Integrations with Gmail and calendar make life easier, everything just links up. > > **Cons**: One thing I am not fond of is that it is connected to email storage , i have drive on my phone and it has automatic back up on and its almost filled up my 15 gb storage and since I use smae email it is creating problems in a email storage as well Folders get messy fast when everyone saves in their own way, hard to keep tidy. Offline sync sometimes fails and I had to reupload files after a trip. Big files upload slow on bad wifi and it can be annoying waiting. Permissions can be confusing, I once shared a folder too open by mistake. Version history is useful but finding the exact old version is not always easy. Not great for heavy media management, needs a proper DAM for big teams. > > Overall I use Drive for almost everything, work docs, notes, and quick sharing. It makes teamwork easier because everyone sees latest file and no more email attachments. Small sync hiccups and messy folders are annoying but not dealbreakers for me. The free tier is handy for personal use and company plan gives enough storage. I’d recommend it to most teams, just set folder rules so people don’t dump files everywhere. For daily work it saves time and keeps things simple, that’s why I keep using it. ----- ### "Reliable cloud storage and collaboration hub for a growing property management business" — 5.0/5 > **Kartikeya** | *25 March 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a property manager at Minikaal Corporation, Google Drive has become the central hub for our leases, owner reports, inspection photos, and vendor documents across multiple properties. The ability to securely store everything in one place and access it from any device has reduced our dependence on local computers and helped keep our operations running smoothly even when we are on-site or traveling between units. The biggest pros for us are real-time collaboration, simple sharing, and integration with other Google tools. We regularly collaborate in Docs, Sheets, and Slides directly from Drive, which makes it easy to work with owners, tenants, and bookkeepers without sending endless email attachments. Sharing links with permission controls (view, comment, edit) is intuitive even for less tech-savvy clients, and the search function makes it fast to find the right lease or invoice when we are on a call. The storage is reasonably priced as our portfolio grows, and team/shared drives help us keep company files separate from personal ones. > > **Cons**: A couple of areas that could improve are storage management and offline use. As we add more photos, videos, and scanned documents, it is easy to run into storage limits and then spend time cleaning up or upgrading plans. Offline access works, but it can be a bit clunky to manage across multiple devices, and new team members sometimes need guidance on how Drive syncs to their computer. > > Overall, Google Drive is a dependable, everyday tool that simplifies document management and collaboration for our property management business. It gives us confidence that critical files are backed up, easy to find, and simple to share with the people who need them, which is why I’m happy to recommend it to other small and mid-sized real estate or service businesses. ----- ### "Long time Google Drive user" — 3.0/5 > **Violet** | *24 April 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the fact that Google Drive allows me to share important files that either require viewing or active collaboration with others. > > **Cons**: I wished this platform saved more files automatically and deleted them after a certain amount of time. > > I have used Google Drive for almost 14 years now and feel though it used to be more user friendly when I initially began using it I still enjoy the important features it provides such as file sharing and data collaborations, it's also a free product which is also important for small business owners with budgets. ----- Page: 1 / 1141\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/161425/drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/161425/drive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
