At Google, the file is just one module among twenty

A suite that does everything, on the surface. Here is what that actually means for your files.

Files as a secondary feature

Your files coexist with Gmail, Meet, Chat, and Calendar. Filing, permissions, and traceability remain secondary, not the core focus.

Document governance as an optional add-on

Retention, eDiscovery, and data loss prevention (Google Vault) are sold separately on entry-level plans.

Files scattered across different uses

The same document lives across Drive, Gmail, and Docs, without a unified lifecycle or a dedicated cross-platform file search.

External sharing without a unique identity

No Google Workspace plan allows you to customize sharing links with your brand, your domain, or a dedicated portal for your recipients.

Voltn supports professionals across all sectors.

FAQ: Common questions about Voltn vs. Google Drive

How long does it take to switch from Google Drive to Voltn?

It only takes a few minutes to set up your demo space, and our team will guide you through the migration of your existing files.

Are my data hosted in France with Voltn?

Yes, exclusively, using certified infrastructure that is beyond the reach of the Cloud Act. But that is not the core of our offering: it is a guarantee that comes with the product.

Is Voltn as comprehensive as Google Workspace?

We don't do messaging, video conferencing, or calendars that's not our business. When it comes to files storage, collaboration, signatures, and traceability, Voltn goes further, because that is the only thing we do.

Is Google Drive enough to manage a company's files?

For basic use, yes. However, as soon as your files need to be tracked, signed, validated, and stored according to specific regulations, Google Vault and advanced features become separate paid options that must be enabled depending on your plan.
