It is the best storage cloud I know

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Most of these services have a very poor control, a lot of limitations and are not totally secure, something that does not happen with Google Cloud Drive Enterprise. They are among the best in this area

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I like most about Google Cloud Drive Enterprise is that it is a service that allows me to access my documents, photos, audios, or videos from anywhere in the world with a simple internet connection. Besides, their interface is fast and stable enough for me to blindly trust them and upload important documents. I also keep some other things temporarily.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are things that I do not like about Google Cloud Drive Enterprise and that is that to be able to go from 15 Gb in the cloud you have to pay, and there is very little space that they offer for free, maybe they could increase this range a little and they could exponentially have a better success in us than we are its users.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If I have to recommend a service to someone, without a doubt it has to be this Google service, its security, its speed, its support, its innovative design is one of the best compared to its competition that really do not have even 50% of it. offered by Google Cloud Drive Enterprise.
