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 ----- ### "Google Drive Made It Easy to Support My Wife Throughout Her Journey" — 5.0/5 > **Khushdeep** | *28 June 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Google Drive almost every day, and it has become an important part of both my personal life and my family's routine. One of the biggest reasons is that it helped me support my wife while she was preparing for her Physiotherapy Competency Exam after we moved to Canada. She used to upload all of her study notes, presentations, and important documents to Google Drive. Since I had access to the files, I could easily open them from my workplace and print whatever she needed. This saved us a lot of time because I had access to a printer at work while she often didn't. My wife is an excellent physiotherapist, but she isn't very tech-savvy. Whenever she had trouble finding a file or needed something edited or printed, I could quickly access it through Google Drive from wherever I was. It made it easy for me to help her without needing to be at home or have her laptop with me. Now we continue to use Google Drive for important family documents, certificates, bills, and photos. I like that everything stays synchronized across devices, and sharing files takes only a few seconds. It has made our daily life much more organized. > > **Cons**: The only downside is the limited free storage. Since Google Drive shares space with Gmail and Google Photos, the storage fills up faster than expected, especially when storing lots of documents and family photos. > > Overall, Google Drive has been reliable, simple, and extremely useful. It didn't just help me organize my own files—it also helped me support my wife during one of the most important periods of her career. Being able to access, edit, and print her documents from anywhere made a real difference. Even today, whenever either of us needs to share or print an important document, Google Drive is the first app we use. It has become an essential part of our everyday life. ----- ### "Google Drive for Storing Photos" — 5.0/5 > **Graham Brian** | *18 June 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It retains the folder structure from the source. You can buy more Tb of storage. It can be viewed as Google Photos in just date order, or access through the folder structure. Uploads are seamless. If you specify Google Drive as the upload then it matches the documents in the folder. If you specify upload by Google Photos it retains originals and every edit. I specify upload as Google Drive so that photos in folders match the source. > > **Cons**: Google Photos option to upload keeps every edit meaning space is used up quicker. In comparison with OneDrive the options are more extensive but understanding how it uploads to the cloud is quite complex. > > My overall experience is good. It is not overly expensive to buy additional storage space compared with OneDrive. ----- Page: 1 / 1143\ 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
