Why you need to hire a Virtual Assistant For Google Drive Management

Paperwork, documentation, and file management are the least exciting but crucial parts of running a business. Luckily, with the advent of technology, documentation can now be created and stored online for easier access.

In a digital world, file management goes beyond just storing your documents in a file cabinet at the office. In a fast-paced, growing environment where you instantly need information to be available at your fingertips, cloud file storage is the only solution.

And when it comes to file storage, there is no tool better than Google Drive.

Google Drive is among the world's most popular cloud storage platforms, with approximately one billion users. It’s simple to use, accessible to everyone and keeps your data safe.

A massive advantage of using cloud storage platforms is that you can outsource your file management tasks and spare yourself the trouble of doing the dirty work.

Imagine having a virtual assistant (VA) send you the files you want instead of spending hours searching for them. Instead, that time can be spent on more valuable tasks, networking with clients, and planning growth.

This blog will discuss why you need virtual assistance to help you with Google Drive management and how a VA can be an asset to your business beyond just file organization.

Who is a Virtual Assistant?

A virtual assistant is a contract-based employee who will work for you or your business remotely. There’s not much difference between a full-time in-house and a virtual assistant, except that they will not be working from your office and will not be on your payroll. However, these are significant advantages, especially if you are a small business in its beginning stages.

How so?

Since a virtual assistant works from their preferred location, you are not responsible for provisioning them with office space, computers, or other technology. The cost is borne either by them or the outsourcing company you hire them from.

Second, since they are not on your payroll and are only a service the outsourcing company provides, you don’t have to deal with costs like insurance, health benefits, paid leave, pension plans, and taxation. Those responsibilities are taken care of by the agency.

When you hire a virtual assistant, you enjoy the services of a full-time employee at a fraction of the cost.

How does a Virtual Assistant work?

Although working with a virtual assistant may seem tricky, the entire process is quite simple.

Though they work remotely, a virtual assistant will constantly contact you. You can reach out to them at any point via WhatsApp, email, Slack, or any preferred channel to delegate tasks. At Wishup, our virtual assistants will send you a detailed end-of-day report, documenting their work every day. This makes it really simple to track how they spend their time.

Because they work remotely, you will need to grant your virtual assistant access to your Google Drive and any other relevant IDs and passwords they will need to do their work. But don’t worry; it’s completely secure, as we take the utmost measures to keep your information safe. You can read our blog to learn more about how we keep our clients’ data safe.
