Pros of Google Drive

Sharing, Accessibility, and Versatility

Whether you’re going on a business trip or on vacation, as long as you have internet access via your phone or computer, you can access Google Drive.

You don’t need to worry about carrying a flash drive around to share files and have them with you. You can access everything with your phone or any laptop after signing into your Google Drive account.

People who have access to files that you share will also be allowed to open them wherever they are.

Edit and Create Files

Google Drive is connected to Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Forms, and more. You can add third-party apps and integrate them with Google Drive. You can create new files and edit them on the go without having to sit down at your desk.

Cons of Google Drive

Hard to Use without Gmail

Using Google Drive without a Gmail account is almost impossible. Uploading, downloading, and sharing files won’t be possible. If you share something with someone that doesn’t use Gmail, they won’t be able to edit it. All they can do is see it. This can be a problem for people who have to use their email addresses from work that might not be linked or supported by Gmail.

You Need to Be Online

Google Drive is expanding its offline features but you still need to be online for various tasks. First of all, offline access can’t be activated without going online first. Secondly, if someone shares a file with you and you don’t have internet access, you won’t be able to see it until you do.

Security Concerns

Google Drive is secure. Sharing important or sensitive files online, however, is still risky and even the most secure services can end up being hacked.

you can share your documents easily and others can share their documents with you. You can work on the same document a the same time which makes collaboration simple.

Google Drive supports other Google services like Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Forms, and more. It can also be integrated with other apps.

Google Drive is free to use. As long as you have a Gmail account, you’ll be able to use it and store/share files. Note: there is a storage limit and when you get to that, you can purchase additional storage at very reasonable rates.
