doki.help vs Google Drive for important documents

Google Drive is a great general-purpose cloud. But family documents also need types, expiry reminders and revocable links. Here's the honest difference.

Google Drive is excellent at handling any file: lots of space, a familiar ecosystem, everything in one account. But the moment it's passports, visas and medical records, the manual work begins β€” folders, searching by file name, deadlines kept in your head. doki.help is built for documents from the start: categories, expiry reminders, per-member profiles and secure, revocable sharing.

FAQ

Is doki.help a replacement for Google Drive?+

No. Google Drive is a general cloud for any file. doki.help is a specialized vault for documents: categories, expiry reminders and secure sharing. Many people use both.

Can I import documents from Google Drive?+

There's no automatic import yet. Download the files you need from Google Drive and upload them to doki.help β€” on upload, AI suggests the type and category for you.

Is Google Drive less secure?+

We don't claim that β€” it's a reliable Google cloud. The difference is the access model: in doki.help only your family sees documents (database-level isolation), and you grant access via an expiring, revocable link with an access log.

Does doki.help remind me about expiry dates?+

Yes. Set a "valid until" date and get an email reminder in advance. A general cloud doesn't do that out of the box.

Is it free?+

Yes. Right now it's free: 2 GB, reminders, family access and offline access. The product is in beta.
