We use Google and Box for work at a 100 person Series C startup.
Searching across all the locations for my files is a disaster :
- one Local files on my work laptop (mostly synced via dropbox),
- two Box (mostly in their web UI, with ~2 folders being "synced" locally),
- three Google Drive (shared and authored files a like),
- four Email,
- five Slack,
- six Files stuck in our business systems (like contracts that sit in Salesforce.com, Jira, etc)
It's an absolute mess. I can't imagine I'm the only one to be annoyed and losing productivity.
