Pros:

The ease & simplicity to bring my data over from once device to another device.

Lifetime License not honored, Cold Storage Very Slow

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: I bought a lifetime license, and figured cold storage into my safety net. After a few years G-Cloud contacted me saying they are no longer honoring the lifetime license…My lifetime account that I paid for will now cost $252/year.

Pros:

Note: my review comments below are related to their Zoolz Product. I had to trim a lot of the details from my review to make it fit.

Cons:

Zoolz’s cold storage is not a good option for regular backup. It is far too slow to be worthwhile as a Backup. I tried to restore a small Word file that was saved that week and it took more than a day to retrieve. I cannot imagine how long it would take to do a full recovery of 10,000s of files.

Comments: It helps keep track of my documents as well as important pictures that I use every day at my business and at home but mostly for my business My overall experience with this has just been very satisfactory and I've been very very pleased with this and I would recommend it to anybody and everybody especially if you're running a business because it'll keep track your back if you have to lose an important document or pictures you can always go to cloud and retrieve it because it's there and it's so easy to set up the scheduling world of download it back up everything on its own.

Pros:

The features that have been so impactful in this software has been the encryption the backup and the scheduling I would recommend it to anybody and everybody who either runs a business or runs their daily lives at home to me it's a 5 to 10 star rating

Cons:

The least thing I like about it is every once in awhile it can run a little slow.

How Google Cloud Works for a Marketing and Advertising Business

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: G Cloud has made it easily possible to find, locate, and utilize all of our databases in order to change ourselves to better fit the ever-changing world of marketing and advertising. Thank You G Cloud! We would be even more thrilled to find a new development of the program that allows for specific directions and brief explanations for each and every feature offered without the necessity for classes. Looking Forward To New Developments!

Pros:

Google Cloud offers an impactful Backup Feature making Everything within the business that you may need available for use Whenever, Wherever, and However you may want to use it. We are so much more organized now than we were before we got G Cloud.

Cons:

G Cloud has proven to be difficult to understand and operate. It has not been the easiest program to integrate into the marketing and advertising business. It has been a learn as you go sort of process because I am still learning new things about G Cloud each and every single day.

G cloud AUTOBACK gives me peace of mind !

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I love this product so much. I have lost my phone twice and in both cases I have always been able to recover all my contacts and photos.

Pros:

The autobackup feature is one this that really. Make me love this software.

Cons:

I wish I could be able to search for photos and video based on a date or on a period of time, rather than having to go through all photos before getting to the one I like to download from G CLOUD. FOR example search for photos backed up on 05/07/2015
