Google Drive has been one of the most popular cloud services for years and that is not without reason.
With 15 GB of free storage, Google offers a generous amount of space for basic users. What really distinguishes Google Drive is the seamless integration with other Google products such as Doctan,, ” Sheets and Photos. This makes it an excellent choice for those who often work together on documents or already (regularly) use Google’s ecosystem.
For those who need more space, Google Drive offers affordable subscriptions, such as 100 GB for € 1.99 per month or 2 TB for € 9.99 per month. Although the storage is shared with Gmail and Google Photos, this is rarely a problem thanks to the efficient way in which Google manages your space.
The service excels in ease of use and versatility, but those who are not a Google user can experience the strong dependence on this ecosystem as a disadvantage.
