If we have alot of branches office cross the world in many country and you work mostly with office file, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, I recommend using Google Drive is best, because most of ISP has local Google cache that improve the speed upload or download file and sharing quicker to everyone.

Alternatives Considered
Since the [Google Backup and Sync] works with google/gmail accounts, and most people have a google account already it made it an easy solution to setup and link with most users. The other solutions would have required setting up new accounts for most employees to get them started, so it saved us that hassle.
