I used Google Drive for years thinking that anything I left there was safe. Wrong. Just checked it and half of my files are gone. No rhyme or reason to which ones. Just Gone. Well, guess what, I never trusted Google in the first place and anyone who does, well, it's your funeral, and you can call the tune. Thank God I backed up onto my hard drive as I went along, though obviously, not often enough. Well, Google got me me, but it could have been a lot worse. Way to go Google. Go ahead, take your best shot. Hope this helps someone else keep their important files safe from the Google Gestapo.

I spent a week fixing backup and organization oversights, searching for files and generally wasting time on things I should never have to worry about. It shouldn't be this hard when the whole function of drive is to backup and organize. They won't have another hour from me.

I wish drive supported more Excel formulas and more formatting options because sometimes there's a formula that clearly works in any other spreadsheet editor but doesn't work in drive. And it's frustrating. The good part is that document editing and sharing is free.

Google Drive is a decent cloud Service provider with options to edit word and excell documents in browser, which is a nice touch. My only complaint is that Google should off more free space as a lot of their competitors do.

Google Drive is incredibly useful for sharing documents so you don't have multiple versions. It's easily accessible from anywhere, since it lives online, and sharing/collaboration are simple enough.
The spreadsheets aren't as robust as Excel. They're lacking in several simple concepts and it's a little clunky to use, by comparison. It needs work. But it's free and easy to collaborate one.
Word docs are pretty basic, but they get the job done.
Google Drive integrates easily with some other programs (Smartsheet for example) which is helpful. You can also open & save any email attachments to your Drive, which is helpful. Organization is pretty straightforward.
For home use or SMB that don't require a complete Microsoft Office set up this is the way to go. You may still require some Office products, they're more robust, but it could save time and money using these Drive tools.
All in all a good tool to add to your toolbox.

I have always trusted google drive for a long time. Google drive is quick, secure, and all of your files are saved directly in google drive. Google drive is very helpful and I like it a lot. I even use google drive for school and I can always rely on it to store all of my schoolwork securely. Thank you, Google!

Google drive is a good cloud for backing up files for free. You can share folders, copy a link and send it to someone. But to restore files, you need to enable cookies. You can restore multiple files at one time, but they download in a zip file. Then you need to uncompress them.

Great way to create documents that are stored on the "cloud" and that allows collaboration with multiple people. It doesn't allow you to do everything that Microsoft Office does, but its free!

Seems it can work and sync faster, but overall it's great and convenient. There are more and more cloud services out there these days but this one is a decent one (plus it's google, so...)

I need to use it for school all the time. It is pretty good, but I think I'll need a more organized website next time.
