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 ----- ### "The gold standard for collaboration but AI is making it bloated." — 4.0/5 > **Abbey** | *9 February 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Every writer I know uses Google Drive as a collaborative tool. It's great for editing documents together and you don't have the problem of "version control." I love that you can see the revision history so when changes are made you can understand who made them and why. It's so intuitive to use and the cost is negligible. > > **Cons**: Organizing files in Google Drive has always been somewhat of a nightmare and the AI components make it so much worse. I can't find what I'm looking for and I spend too much time just telling Google that I do not want to use AI for basic tasks. The Gemini features are just making basic use so bloated and difficult to use. > > Overall, Google Drive is still the Gold standard for collaborative working and writing. However, the AI has made the software bloated and difficult to navigate. Every task now has an AI popup and there's no way to turn them off. ----- ### "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 / 1138\ 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
