Cons
"My use case of this solution is fairly minimal. However, I am concerned about privacy on a cloud platform.

More Google Cloud Storage Cons →

"I had some issues with permissions at first. I have to ask for Drive permissions because I'm a new doctoral student. Sometimes I have to ask for permission because I can't access this kind of document, but recently they fixed that by adding me to their team. Now I can access any document that my department supervisors and staff share on Drive.""The product must be more secure.""I want better support, and I expect quicker support for any issues.""It might be ideal if we could increase storage more easily, however, I don't have much visibility on that and have never had any issues.""If they would implement something for people who have been working on Google Drive for so many years, to have an upgraded version or to be upgraded to that capacity or storage, that would be fantastic.""Google meets use of whiteboard is primitive making it difficult to demonstrate while talking.""In the free version, managing the files and folders and data is a little difficult.""I would like to see better integration with Google Docs, the Google landscape in general, and other environments."
