It's a hot mess.
- unusual interface, very unlike Google, Dropbox, etc.
- the add form is rich, a tad complicated, the TITLE field is not tagged as mandatory
- unclear what document status does: draft | published
- unclear what document visibility does: private | public
- unclear if any file type is permitted
- for some new files two edit buttons appear, a pencil, one with the word, confusing at first
- folders deployed as tabs arranged horizontally, atypical, what happens with 20 or 30?, not tested...
- EDIT button disappeared on Google Doc file preventing me from editing the original content
- EDIT button appeared for Visio drawing, why? completely confusing
- creating folders is obtuse, only done when added a file
- same file icon used for all file types, with acronym DOC showing, for Excel, Google, Visio, doesn't matter, and that will be very confusing
- similarly the icon does not indicate if a native or Google-based file
- delete is permanent, i.e. no recycle bin
I quit testing. It's not usable. Not ready for prime-time. No point in probing any deeper at this stage.
I asked for training. I was told that the person who could train me has limited experience. Ah. So there's no expert... Great. Shouldn't the committee Workgroup owner require training from a SME?
I asked for a user manual. No response. I bet there's no manual.
Some of these are show-stoppers. I will not inflict this on my committee. It will not work for us.
I asked, again, for a new Google Drive.
