What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

It operates with ALL of the standard windows/ios/apple products from word processing docs to excel files. It is correlated to the google suite, so it is easily implemented across almost any employee. I personally use it myself, and it's agreeable with clients as many of them most likely do not use paid software for their files.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

No cost to consumers at all, and highly used across all industries allowing for minimal conversion of files.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Does not perfectly convert from Windows 365 suite, and lacks advanced features of paid softwares. Good for barebones work, bad for high-level or nuanced work.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is great to start off with, but specialized departments will require paid software for accuracy and saving time.

Pros

Reliable
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
Efficient Service
