What is Google Drive, and how to use it efficiently for work?

[Robin Mike]

I know Google Drive stores files, but how do people use it efficiently for remote work or team collaboration?

Google Drive is more than just file storage—it’s a cloud-based workspace. For remote teams, it becomes central to daily workflow. I personally use shared folders per client or project, granting selective access so everyone only sees what’s relevant. It keeps things secure, organized, and avoids unnecessary back-and-forth emails.

I rely heavily on the Google Docs + Drive combo when collaborating with clients. It lets multiple people work on the same document simultaneously, add suggestions, or leave comments. It’s saved me hours of confusion over “final_v3_real_final_FINAL” type of file chaos.

One of the best features I use is commenting and tagging on Google Docs and Sheets. You can tag teammates with “@name” and leave feedback right next to the content you’re discussing. It makes team communication so much smoother and eliminates endless chat messages.

I use Google Sheets within Drive to create live project trackers. Everyone on the team can update their task progress, and we don’t need to wait for weekly meetings. It’s like having a shared to-do list where all updates are visible instantly.

My Google Drive is set up like a digital filing cabinet. I create folders by year, then break them down by month or project. This structure saves me from wasting time searching for files, and it helps when handing over projects to new team members.

Google Forms has been a game-changer for me. I create feedback forms or data collection surveys for clients and team members, and the results get automatically stored in Google Sheets. It saves hours of manual entry and streamlines reporting.
