Google Backup and Sync (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

We have used Google Backup and Sync for more than 5 years in all departments and all sites around the world, because we have many branches in many countries.
We used Google Backup and Sync to share office files and collaboration work together cross branches, because previously we have a lot of problem of attachment that make user confuse version and lost track.

If we have alot of branches office cross the world in many country and you work mostly with office file, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, I recommend using Google Drive is best, because most of ISP has local Google cache that improve the speed upload or download file and sharing quicker to everyone.

Google Backup and Sync is being used by our shipping department to share the daily shipping schedule online with several other users, and it gives all those users the ability to all edit the same documents and spreadsheets at the same time, which is huge for us. We also have a big screen tv that is permanently open to the google spreadsheet of the shipping schedule for all our employees on the dock to be able to see what trucks are coming next and at which dock doors.

Google [Backup and Sync] is great if you want a nice free solution to sharing files where multiple people need to be in them at the same time. Everyone needs a free google account and they can have access and share file easily. If you need something that integrates well with the windows file explorer or a mac computer though, this solution isn't the best one out there because it works best through the web interface.

We use Google Backup and Sync for all our students and staff as they have a better understanding of simple files. To be honest, Google Backup and Sync is so simple to use for beginners and people with very basic knowledge. That's exactly what we want to make life easy and be safe. Security is so high and there is great service.

I work at school with lots of kids who bring in laptops with water damage or that are broken or lost. So we have been pushing students to use Google Backup and Sync regularly (once every second week). We are able to save lots of headaches of recovering data and/or being worried about other kinds of backup.

We use to backup all our documents. Backup and Sync is being used across our whole company. It addresses our need for a reliable backup solution.

I think Google Backup is great for 90% or users and their need to maintain a backup in the event data is lost. For mission critical information you might want a second backup provider.

Used across the whole organization, but not mandatory. Up to individuals to utilize backup and sync options beyond our server/shared drives. Particularly useful for users who travel, work remotely, have multiple devices, etc. Personally, I have been using the product since before I worked for this company (before working full-time, I used it as a student as well) and I have always been happy with it.

Works very well but due to Google based sign-in, not ideal for all users to use as the only backup option. The ideal situation is an additional back-up/cloud storage solution for users to sync between work servers and personal devices, especially if traveling, working remotely, or in other situations where accessing files across multiple devices may be useful.
