However, there are many features and drawbacks to be considered. To figure out how effective Google Drive is for you, here’s a complete breakdown of all the key details.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--when-should-a-business-use-google-drive\">When should a business use Google Drive?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A business should use Google Drive when it has a large or growing amount of digital files. It becomes difficult to manage an entire library of files without a dedicated storage system. Therefore, it only makes sense to implement Drive when you notice your data storage needs are growing. It’s also a great alternative for companies looking to move away from physical on-site storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, companies who need quick access to files and deepened communication should use Drive. It lets team members work together on shared files and offers the chance for instant feedback between them. This is crucial in today’s digital enterprise landscape, as there are more moving parts within each project and campaign. It’s vital to have a collaborative cloud system to meet the many communication needs teams have.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"993\" height=\"854\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-2.jpg\" alt=\"A laptop with a file drawer coming out of it.\" class=\"wp-image-33780\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-2.jpg 993w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-2-450x387.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-2-768x660.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--business-features\">Business features\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Drive has a lot of different features that are perfect for businesses. Though these weren’t created specifically for business use, they have tons of value for members of company teams. Here are some key benefits to consider:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increased communication\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of communication in a team is the ability to share files with one another. Drive lets you instantly share endless files with all members of a group. Furthermore, the group can then collaborate on them. This collaboration is efficient as it reduces potential mistakes and offers instant access to changes made.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved mobility\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing businesses need with their cloud storage is mobility. Thankfully, Drive provides it extensively. In fact, users can edit documents offline in Drive. This becomes very important when you consider how versatile and mobile a lot of companies are required to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increased functionality\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for team members to communicate well with each other, they need a functional working space. For Drive, this functionality comes especially in the form of its ability to convert files into Google Docs format. This allows for quicker sharing and extends sharing to externals.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-33783\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"698\" height=\"806\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-3.jpg\" alt=\"An animated depiction of coworkers.\" class=\"wp-image-33783\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-3.jpg 698w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193834\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-3-390x450.jpg 390w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A functional working space increases communication.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--what-is-the-business-version-of-google-drive\">What is the business version of Google Drive?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Drive, as you know, is a cloud storage service that is free to use at a basic level. The business version of Drive is G Suite – a more comprehensive version of storage. How is G Suite different than a basic Google Drive account? For starters, it offers more storage space. Drive packages max out at 30TB. G Suite has packages that provide unlimited storage. This is a clear distinction considering growing data today.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A G Suite account has numerous business benefits to take into account, including upgraded security, improved team messaging, more coding options and superior admin control. These features differ depending on which package you purchase, from which there are 3: Basic ($6\u002Fmonth), Business ($12\u002Fmonth), Enterprise ($25\u002Fmonth).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-33788\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1887\" height=\"848\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193833\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-4.png\" alt=\"The pricing section of G Suite.\" class=\"wp-image-33788\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193833\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-4.png 1887w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193833\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-4-450x202.png 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193833\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-4-1024x460.png 1024w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193833\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-4-768x345.png 768w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F09\u002F19193833\u002Fgoogle-drive-for-business-4-1536x690.png 1536w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">G Suite is the business version of Google Drive.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--alternative-option\">Alternative option\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Drive is a good start when it comes to business cloud storage, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
