What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Although most other file storage software allow for multi-party collaboration, there is a big difference between the quality of integration possible on Google Drive and that which is obtainable on other file storage softwares.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Google Drive is fantastic for working with third party softwares without any hindrance . Integrating Google Drive with third party software programs help to expand its use-cases, making me more effective at work and better improving the interconnectivity between the key software tools, I am using in the workplace.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google has reliable synchronization that is very low, compared with what is obtainable with other leading file storage software. In a fast paced workspace, this could easily be a major setback for productivity.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Because Google Drive is one of the most popular file storage software out there, it is a safer option when needing to collaborate with other professionals, as they are likely to have previous experience using it, since it now comes pre-installed in all Android mobile phones these days.
