What Google Drive's own pages show
Suits
- People who already use Gmail, Google Docs and Google Photos
- Teams that co-edit documents, spreadsheets and slides in the browser
- Organizations standardizing on Google Workspace
Limits worth knowing
- The free 15 GB is shared with Gmail and Google Photos, so mail and photo backups count against it.
- There is no Drive for desktop app for Linux; Google directs Linux users to Drive on the web.
- Shared drives, client-side encryption and third-party app integrations are premium features of some Workspace Business and Enterprise plans.
- Business plans are sold separately through Google Workspace, with pooled storage of 30 GB per user on Starter and 2 TB per user on Standard.
