Even if they could, most employees don’t want 490GB of files they don’t need cluttering their machine. Well, most laptops can’t handle that data. Let’s say the file server has 500GB of data. User hard drives were challenge numero uno. The cloud could supplement the file server, but in most instances couldn’t fully replace the tried and true digital file cabinet workhorse. And while the answer wasn’t a hard ‘no’, it wasn’t an easy ‘yes’ either. People have been asking to replace their file servers with cloud-based services for years. The Google Drive team provided a nice overview and demo at this month’s Next conference. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done. Unlike files in My Drive, files in Team Drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Google Team Drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device.
Team Drives is now officially available and is a critical component of Google Drive’s new capabilities.
Not to be outdone by Dropbox’s awesome Smart Sync capabilities, the Google Drive team has followed up some technical magic ( engineering) of their own. The Google Drive team at Google has been very busy. Remote access is tedious, unreliable, or not configuredīasically the file server is the digital version of the file cabinet and not much else.Search is slow and inconsistent, terrible really.
Once I found the version of a file I liked, it lived on my hard drive or in my email. Finding stuff on the file server could be tedious and time consuming. I’m sure many of us can remember our first experience working with a file server at the office. The file server has been a trusted workhorse for decades. The Cloud is ready to replace the file server
