Streamlining Cloud Storage for a Small Business

Client: A local retail store transitioning to cloud-based operations.
Challenge:
The client stored their files across multiple locations (desktop, email, USB drives), making it difficult to access and share information. They needed a centralized, secure storage solution to improve organization and collaboration.

Solution:

• Set up and configured Google Drive as their primary storage platform.

• Organized files into a logical folder structure, standardized naming conventions, and created shared drives for team collaboration.

• Set user permissions to ensure sensitive files were secure but accessible to the right people.

• Integrated Google Drive with tools like Gmail and Google Calendar for seamless workflows.

Results:

• Reduced file retrieval time by 60%.

• Increased collaboration efficiency across the team.

• Centralized storage eliminated the need for physical drives, reducing data loss risk.
