Negative review What happened? by anonym
I used to access files no problem. Now when trying to play videos which I could before I'm getting "video cannot be processed, please try again later". The video has been up for months Google Drive. Sort it out! 2/5
Positive review cloud access by anonym
The Icon is easily recognized by Google account holders, representing a free flash drive in the cloud that can access and edit the most commonly used types of documents. Fairly easy to use as long as there is a good connection to the internet. This application allows users to work on the go, saving time and money. Creating professional presentations, sharing documents, and keeping everything organized are all from a phone for free. What stood out for me was the update that allowed for more editing options with slide presentations. The yellow, green, and blue theme of the logo are used to represent different types of documents. The APP is free, the majority of its reviews are good, and it is an editors choice with over a half billion downloads. 4/5
Negative review poor by anonym
-SYNC with web version is very slow, disastrous, it shows different versions of the same file -folders cant be made offline -cant send mail attachments in .doc .xls (it converts everything in stupd .pdf!!!). I WANT THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY AS DESKTOP VERSION, IF NOT THEN GIVE ME THE REAL CHROME ON ANDROID. 1/5
Negative review You can't edit in external editors by anonym
This is no longer a cloud drive. They force you to edit your documents only with their crap sheets/docs apps. 1/5
Positive review Much improved by anonym
Expanded functionality from my last review. I now u use Docs, sheets, and forms extensively. Would still like to see phone version have ability to create links. 4/5
Neutral review Drive helps universal access by anonym
Google drive has a great design but still has some bugs. Security and certificate issues can limit browser access. Syncing is not instant and if you open as file too soon after booting up you can get out of sync. File display had gotten worse with recent changes and frequently has errors but this could be a Chrome issue. 3/5
Positive review Serves its purpose well. by anonym
I use this for school, home, and personal files. The app downloaded on my laptop makes it extremely easy to save and access my content. There is some risk with any cloud storage, but it's the best way to protect your data from hardware failure or other disaster. I find it easier to use than Dropbox for sharing files. 5/5
Positive review Problem? by anonym
just updated my s5 to lollipop and there is a black space at the bottom of the screen that doesn't go away? please fix 4/5
Negative review "Productivity" by anonym
Not on par with the web/desktop functionality. New features seem to be only useless gimmicks like "ok google" 2/5
Positive review One of my favourite apps by anonym
This app is quite handy. I use it almost daily. The inbuilt scan feature really useful. 5/5
Neutral review Great App by anonym
i want a pin code protection , want multiple file selecting option , and i hate Google plus don't force us to use it 3/5
Negative review Doesnt work since lollipop update by anonym
Keeps crashing before documents can load. And if I try and use the desktop site it redirects to download this useless app. Google WTF are u doing lately. Lollipop is to andoid what Vista was to PCs. A badly thought out piece of crap. 1/5
Neutral review Please add this by anonym
I need to select multiple pictures to download.. i couldnt, I have to download each photo alone. Another thing is that I want to download a whole folder.. please enable this 3/5
Positive review Working good but not without glitches by anonym
The app seems to work fine. Only 4 stars mostly because of issues I've had with PC sync program. I use to sync work computer with home computer to make it easier to work at home. Have had some issues with PC sync not being able to connect. Got it working yesterday and only time will tell if it continues to keep working. 4/5
Positive review Mindblowing! by anonym
I frequently use this app to store my personal files. I already used 8GB of free storage still has not seen any issues. And lastly it's a gr8 replacement of ur device storage. I always loved this app. 5/5
Negative review My Favorite by anonym
Because hackers can place thier virus in your chrome version, and that automatically syncs to your offline files. good job. hahaha. 1/5
Positive review Just by anonym
Ok, so I am getting this issue, whenever I want to upload a picture directly from my Gallery, it never uploads the last picture-- the result is that my upload never ends... No matter the size of the file, picture or video (multiple at a time), overall its ok, but fix this please :D keep up the good work 4/5
Positive review Google Drive by anonym
Amazing app, I do all of my college assignments on this app! It could be better with it being compatible with the Multi-Window function on the Samsung Galaxy S4. But never less best app ive ever got for my phone! 5/5
Negative review Very laggy app by anonym
For all the talk about project butter, material design and 60fps this app is so sluggish. Stutters and freezes everywhere especially if you have many pictures. Forget about using grid view. Very vexing application to use. Functionality is there but it's Google's worst performing app. 2/5
Neutral review Enough space for my files only by anonym
Smaller apk as the others, but biggest issue I see in unimpossibility to choose multiple files for upload, stupidly one by one - can't help me anyhow 3/5
Negative review Should call this the BLANK INTERUPTER by anonym
I do not even know how this app got on my android tablet. It doesn't do anything. When using my tablet for many things this blank screen app appears for three seconds and then disappears. When I click on it I get a blank screen that disappears. It must be an important Google app with a good reason for being on my tablet. I am going to uninstall it and see if my tablet misses it. 1/5
Neutral review Back of photos and video backup to cloud?? I Don't use Google+ by anonym
Missing options to backup photos/video on mobile by forcing people to use google + instead of drive directly. I now have to use a third party app to do this on my phone. Also i can't rotate saved photos when uploaded on drive which is an essential feature missing and a pain in the@#$%. Google has also lost my cloud backup for home PC because a lack of the above features. 3/5
Positive review Google, take a bow by anonym
The good thing about Google Drive is the UI is very comfortable. It has so many options yet the app never looks or feel messy. Focus on the user experience can be easily noticed. The implementation on material design adds the cherry on the cake. Easy to use and perfect app for cloud storage. 4/5
Positive review Good app, needs a couple of things by anonym
I'm impressed, have moved from DB to gDrive. As per others' request a sync function (for example camera <--> gDrive) would make this five star. I also like the suggestion that pin code protections is required. 4/5
Positive review Just great by anonym
It doesn't get much better than this. I think Google drive is the best cloud based storage out there. With the low price of free other competitors better step there game up. 5/5
Neutral review Missing my favorite feature by anonym
This app does have the basics, but I want to use the apps I connected on my Chromebook (lame excuse for a laptop, btw) on mobile. 3/5
Negative review Mobile Version Problem by anonym
While working with spreadsheet I cannot switch tabs, because of some title bar. Scrolling isn't helping at all. I even cannot use the Web version which persistently want me to download the same not working app, instead of letting me just to sign in. 2/5
Positive review Useless on Pads by anonym
LOL, you are jocking. It was optimized for Tablets?! For what kind of tablets? I tried to use it on Asus eee Transformer pad - it works very, very badly. 5/5
Positive review Like it, good app but with exceptions by anonym
I since move from Dropbox to here and have taken a liking to this app, however only thing missing is auto/manual camera upload, a option for automatic/manual upload would be a great addition in the event of a catastrophic event of the phone and its external SD card giving it has one. 4/5
Neutral review Sync Sync Sync! by anonym
Desperately needs autosync, had to buy a seperate app to auto upload my gallery photos over wifi, seems to be a basic feature in other cloud services like dropbox 3/5
Negative review Useless by anonym
Works fine on computer. Anyhow, on tablet or smartphone I CAN NOT download or " keep on device " folders at all. There is NOT any such option whatsoever. Can't use it, except on computer. 1/5
Negative review by anonym
Need more updates and new features like on the ios devices. Talking about the android of the Google. You are sure are slow. 1/5
Positive review Virtually all my photos, spreadsheets and documents available from any phone, tablet or PC by anonym
A cinch to set up. Fast to upload and download. Automatically synchronises. Couldn't survive without it. Wherever I am, whatever equipment I am using, Drive safely stores and backs up all my files and makes them easily accessible both online and offline. With 15Gb free I barely need a disk drive, a USB or a costly Cloud service. Drive is just that: my ever present storage. With my wife's allowance that's 30Gb online. Free! 5/5
Positive review Growing usefulness by anonym
I am using Google docs and sheets more as I learn their capabilities and how they can help me. I'm still a little nervous about someone getting access to my things but having the drive there is great if it is secure. 5/5
Neutral review PLEASE add back "Starred" on widget or allow shortcut widget to be used for folders (not only files) by anonym
I would have given 5 stars, but the recent update removed the button to go to my starred documents from the widget. PLEASE add it back as my starred lists are the lists I use daily so having quick access to them is essential. Great app. I have a list for everything from grocery list & things to buy for the house (both shared with my husband so we both see what is needed in case either of us stops by the store) to birthdays & my children's milestones. I can even create a new document from the app. Thanks. 3/5
Positive review Google Drive by anonym
Sounds Great, Cant Wait 2 Try The File system. I Hate Doing Files&drive system Sounds So Easy. Thank u 4 Making Life Easyer.lol 5/5
Positive review Multi-select functionality? by anonym
It is pretty hard to move files around without multi-select so please add them. 4/5
Negative review Paid service bad experience. by anonym
The functionality of the paid service is far less than I expected. Not only incompetent tech support and very limited options for file restoration but also several other minor things that made me to unsubscribe and switch to alternative service provider. Overall I was quite surprised and dissapointed. 2/5
Positive review Not on par.! by anonym
Drive_android doesnt reach at par with the web-desktop functionality... Get the new update with multiple group upload feature and you ll be done with 5 stars. XD 4/5
Positive review Google drive. Drive me crazy by anonym
