I have a idea that, i will develop a file sharing website. most of the universities in my country do not have their own file/book sharing site. They mostly use google drive. But i want to shape it to a well arranged web application. If I develop such a platform, will it be popular to them? How can i guess?

You should find a unique selling point which does make your product better than the other product - in your case google drive.

Best option would be to ask your target group if they are missing something (features, usability, privacy) within their current solution. That could be your USP in this case.

If you just provide another tool which does basically have the same functionality as existing tools, you’ll probably not convince people from your tool.
