Four and a half stars!

Google drive is an amazing app. I love the fact you can access all of the google apps from one platform, and easily organise things into coloured folders. Also useful is the sharing feature, so that you can share something with someone, change their viewing permission and just generally, collaborate. The only thing I wish is that there was some kind of select tool. It’s super annoying if you have to share heaps of things, or like, transfer them between accounts. Also wish there was an option to turn of the ‘This person is not in the same google group as you’ as it gets really annoying also. Overall though, it think this is a wonderful app, 100% worth getting!

Really good

I’ve been using it daily for my cross platform storage now for about three years. I love the sync on my laptop and I’m loving the new drop-down folders on the left. I would like some more customisation here so I could put up shortcuts to favourite folders for example. I love the easy file sharing capability and export and share functions within iOS but I would like when I open a word doc to take to me word instead of auto-converting it into a google doc. All in all though, a great app that’s always improving. Nice one.

Convenient but disorganised

Convenient free space with sharing capabilities (but only to other google users). However, it is annoying to organise and is an online tool only (offline is a waste of time).
Especially difficult is organising folders and files that have been shared with you. Google assumes you will access shared material using Google’s search for key words - fine if the title or contents contain that exact key word, but if not, that material is effectively lost. There’s also the problem that searching on a particular word can distort Google’s data profile for you, even if you’re only using that word to locate a file on a unrelated topic (e.g. the technical paper with the metaphor about ‘cheese’).
