Cloud solutions like Microsoft 365 and Google G Suite points in the corporate context mainly through central data storage on the Internet.
Microsoft relies on the file hosting service OneDrive for Microsoft 365. G Suite users have access to the Google Drive cloud storage platform with an extended storage quota.
In the G Suite basic version, the storage quota is 30 gigabytes. Google makes unlimited storage available to Business and Enterprise users of the product versions, provided that at least 5 user licenses are purchased. With four or fewer licenses, the available storage volume is reduced to 1 TB per license.
Both Microsoft and Google provide the ability to synchronize cloud storage with a device. Files and file folders stored online can also be made available offline if required.
When it comes to managing files stored online, both cloud storage solutions score highly with a wide range of functions. Practical features for day-to-day business include the versioning and sharing functions, which allow users to share files with people inside or outside their organization at the click of a mouse – with a time limit if required.
G Suite offers a search function based on NLP (Natural language processing) that covers all applications.
