Amazing
On the nexus seven tablet the interface is amazing. Everything is very compact but not squished, and the interface is flawless.
One the major reasons I got this app was to view photos I had saved on my old phone...but it sucks when the ui doesn't have grid view and u have many photos...

Unable to access downloads on nexus 7 for upload to drive
When I tap the upload option I am presented with only gallery, drop box, and Google play. If I download a file off the web, be it source code for study, or PDFs for reference, that I want stored on my drive, I'd like the ability to upload from my download folder on my tablet. Will improve rating when this functionality is addressed

Just what the doctor ordered.
As part of an ongoing increase and expansion of my computer related calender, docket and billing Google drive is a gods send. The fact that I have full integration of my Google calender and email along with a very operatives tasks program, I am doing the happy dance. Also I will begin paying for Google Business within a month. The con sts are so affordable for a small business like mine, I am needing to convince myself that for one it can be too good. Thanks Google.

█ SUPERB █
So easy to use, very intuitive interface, uploads quickly. FAR better than dropbox. If you want an online storage solution, this is a must.

Hard Drive
I stopped using Microsoft Office for drive and all its benefits. It offers so much in comparison to office. Biggest benefit for me is the ability to access this any place I find convenient.

MOVE BLOAT TO SD
Great software, but passing the limits at 15mb. I would love to move the bloat to sd card. I dont have much on board since all other mandatory google apps have gotten bloated!
With Drive on 3 different devices I never have to struggle accessing my documents no matter which one I am using. My only suggestion would be to include some type of photo browser as this is a struggle to move between them in the UI.
