Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Google Drive yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Google Drive across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

No positive label carried a quote.

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“especially careful with portals that are basically just email, Dropbox/Box/Google Drive, or PDF links for board materials, because those setups are specifically called out as weaker substitutes” Perplexity Sonar · Board portals · negative prompt · hard negative

“Tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, or OneDrive used for high‑stakes transactions. - Why risky: No granular permissions, no audit trails, no MFA enforcement” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Virtual data rooms · negative prompt · hard negative

“patched together from generic consumer-grade tools (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint, Slack, and personal emails)” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Board portals · negative prompt · hard negative

“some "free VDRs" like basic Dropbox/Google Drive adaptations ... Advice: Avoid for anything involving confidential business info” Grok 4.1 Fast · Virtual data rooms · negative prompt · hard negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Google Drive. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 41 of the 42 answers that named Google Drive and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page google.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as Google Drive

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Google Drive; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Google Drive's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Google Drive, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Google Drive by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Google Drive is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Google Drive, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
