You download zip files which is fine, but these can be split up into many different folders. > > I've used Google Drive for many years and have no plans to switch to another cloud storage provider. ----- ### "Google Drive Should allow more free space" — 3.0/5 > **Ravi** | *2 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like google drive because it lets me keep a back up of my content and allows to share the content easily with my colleagues or friends. > > **Cons**: The thing is lot things which are confusing like when you delete some content it goes to the bin but sometimes i can find that content in the bin. > > Overall experience is fine but not so great like the 15 gb free memory gets used up very easily if your are backing up your photos videos. ----- ### "Great tool for linking your info" — 4.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *12 February 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It links really really well to my account and phone. Makes it easy to upload most things that need to be. > > **Cons**: Downloading items can be s little of a pain. Sometimes it's individually. And since it's cloud based the items aren't instantly available if you don't have Internet ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 1141\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/161425/drive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/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
