UniDrive
UniDrive is a web application our team of six built for our client at Sandia National Labs to provide Google Drive users a central file organizational structure for all of their Google Drive accounts.
The Problem
Google Drive and the Google office web applications are a frequent collaboration mechanism for distributed teams. The easily accessible drive, the ability to share, and the sufficiently functional office web apps makes using other options a difficult choice. The difficulty arises when a person has many such collaborations, including different years for a project each being under a different drive. With all of these places to look for files, it becomes tedious.
