I love that I can store and organize files from all of Google's suite of services. I love that it backs up to my physical computer.

The personal data and all the files are safe now because google drive is the best platform. I am very happy to have it.

It has a Google Docs integration which is perfect when you share too many documents. I like that you can edit online and the 15g of free storage.

It's perfect for storing your files, I own a business and I'm also a Web Developer so keeping my files in a secure place where I can access them anytime and from anywhere is very important.

Overall this is an excellent product with great customer service.

I use Google Drive to quickly, safely, and securely share files with other people. It is also a great way to save important personal files in the cloud so that they can be accessed from any computer.

Google drive is very easy to use because of its very friendly UI and it has many good options like sharing the documents to other users and also i can use all office 365 suites integrated to Drive.

It is super simple to use, user friendly. I like how you can organize the folders and who can access them.

The east access, user friendly, easy UI, great support. It is the best way to carry all your files with you anywhere.

I like that it delivers a great service, has great storage availability, great prices for more storage etc.

It is a very useful tool for storage for example if you want to share large files format to your customer or supplier you can share it to them easily and the Google drive is very user friendly.

Love how easy it is to stay organized with all of the different projects by saving them within the drive, then sharing them with team members is super simple.

Super easy to use and pretty easy to organize. Thumbnails give a big clear preview of the file which is  helpful as well.

Now that I know how to use it, I can't go back. The version control is super easy and helpful, having access to the same document at the same time as someone else is one of the best features.

It is very safe and comfortable to storage data. This software supports most of the popular plugins and third-party tools.

I love the user friendliness of it and the accessibility it gives to our team. The Google Spreadsheets is a lifesaver.

Is that its easy to use with other google app. Its offer good customer service and it offer the most storage space unlike other app.

Also, sometimes when I uploaded files from my phone it took forever to upload and it stopped, giving me errors. This was a while ago, but it happened for almost 3 months and it was quite annoying.

Another great advantage is that I can upload ANY kind and type of file. And last of all, because all my other google products are easily integrated, it stands to be the best.

It can sometimes be a little confusing to organize and the kids I work with have trouble loading documents to it from chrome-books.

Google changed the quotas for my available data storage which required me to archive my Google Drive content or I was in danger of my Gmail and other services losing functionality.

What I like the most is the ability to share documents easy and fast across computers/users. I'm able to collaborate with ease and at a fantastic price.

Trying to copy information or keep formatting from the Drive to other software is terribly inconsistent and a pain to fix.

Google Drive is an amazing product. It is very amazing to have all of your files in the cloud and the fact that you can access all of them just by logging onto your computer is awesome.

The product is very reasonably priced and support is quick to respond if you need help. We have used this for about 4 years now and it is one of the few product we have that you can set and forget.

A lot of connectors included. Thanks to the incremental sync, a lot of data can be handled.

Enterprise version is very expensive in comparison with annual fee, and without that FTP is limited to 25 transfers per sessions.

Quick and easy setup to get local files synced with sharepoint site.

Great product to work with: fast, reliable and great support.

The ability to schedule syncs, to have multiple syncs. We use it to bring SQL data into SharePoint online which we loved as there was no other way to achieve what we needed.

Great way of passing data between a whole variety of services.

The support team at Layer2 deserves a special mention. Whenever we had questions or faced minor hiccups, their team was right there, ensuring we had the answers and solutions we needed.

Finally, the sync process is very fast, and I like that it only updates records when there are changes.

The amount of different data sources and ease of use.

I like how you can easily sync data from a SharePoint list or document library to a SQL database. It’s also great how it splits out lookup columns into their ids and values.

Ease of use, and ease of concept. Installing is easy as well.

I downloaded the trial and within 15 minutes was syncing data between SharePoint online and local data sources. I found it to be very intuitive and easy to use.

No the Connector runs every 2 hours. I have set up bi-directional syncs also as simple one-side-to-another.

Built in support with many different sources/targets. Good support of sources on professional version as well.

Ease of use and price was ok compared with other products.

Have had no reason to engage with the support team until the upgrade, and the support has been same day and great, much appreciated.

These lists needed to be manually maintained by the process owners since we had no way to sync the data from our business systems.

Good selection of connectors to choose from. I've used Sharepoint, file system and FTP in particular.

For this purpose no specific functionality missing.

It was easy to use and documentation to get started was great.
