Our company actually uses both Dropbox Business and Google Drive but we use them for different things. We selected Dropbox Business because it seemed more confidential at the time we started using it and seemed to have more storage space. It also seems to be easier and more …
Dropbox Business has much more convenience when storing all types of files. For us, the overall design of the platform is a very influential factor, and which encourages us to choose a platform. When using Google Drive, I realized that it has a straightforward design, and …
Google Drive does not give us the option to view files on our desktop - you have to be connected to the internet to do anything on Drive. Also, it is hard to keep the most up-to-date version saved on the drive. Sharing is also slightly more difficult on Drive. For these reasons …
Dropbox Business is a very efficient option when compared to Google Drive. Backup through sync and effective file transfer helps the process
efficiently. Google Drive requires a third party software to perform auto-sync, which costs extra. Easy to share as multiple users can …
Dropbox Business is one of the most well-known and commonly-used cloud storage software. I originally started with Box and found that to be extremely generous with data storage size for a free plan. But it seems that Dropbox Business has taken the reins as far as mainstream …
It's comparable to Box, way better than Amazon Drive. Google Drive may be my top choice, but depends on your use case and if you have other uses for Google Business Services to justify the cost.
I like that Dropbox is an entirely separate cloud storage solution.
While Google Drive and OneDrive are free as well as offer the convenience of storing all of your documents and spreadsheets in one place, I find them quite clunky when it comes to managing visual assets. …
I have used Google Drive as well as OneDrive. Both of [these] are cloud storage but does not keep advanced kind of features like Dropbox Business. I am using it just because of its reliable services.
Google Drive UI is VERY messy. It is not convenient to use, and its integration to the desktop is arbitrary... OneDrive sync functions tend to break and lots of time we found ourselves wondering why a work we just saved disappeared, only to find out that it was overridden by the …
when comparing Dropbox against Google Drive, it comes first the visualisation of the features, in which google has a clear advantage, as it has been developed with the simplicity and at the same time accessibility to all features in an easy way. The organisation has chosen …
Google Drive is a lot cheaper and allows for more GB than Dropbox Business. Hightail also offers a fair amount of storage space and is about the same price as Dropbox. Google Drive offers 15gb and Dropbox only 2gb however there are ways to get more storage. Dropbox though could …
The services like OneDrive and Google Drive are pretty identical but, OneDrive for business is more cost-effective as it already is included in all of our user's Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions. They all similar functionality but at the end of the day if we can use a …
Dropbox Business does a better job and document organization and sharing compared to Google Drive. Google Drive by default gives you a large list of files for which you create folders and navigating through those can be a hassle. Dropbox Business gives you a good folder …
Dropbox Business holds up against the other big boys like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. If you already use those platforms, it would probably make sense to use them. But many users already used Dropbox and were familiar with it. And if you don't already have a …
That it is so natural to transfer an archive or pictures to Dropbox and that it is so easy to impart that material to others through email! This is equivalent to transferring to Google Drive; be that as it may, for the individuals who are not Google Clients, I think this is …
Google Drive is hands down a better product and more versatile. I have a paid account and it is not expensive for a lot of storage. I don't think Dropbox can really compete, honestly. They just aren't as good and useable. I also think that Google has a lot more integrations. It …
Dropbox Business is dependable, adaptable, and cost-effective for our businesses. On the inside, it’s comparable to other file-sharing and storage. Also, file access and navigation are much faster. We use it to share documents and store data and files for our business purposes. …
I chose Dropbox Business because it is affordable, reliable, and easy to customize. Additionally, it offers ample storage space for all our files.

Chose Dropbox Business
Dropbox Business is basically an industry standard for file storage at this point and most clients and team members will be familiar with it. Sharefile’s main advantage is its security. It provides more security options than Dropbox. The only downside that our team saw with …
We mainly selected Dropbox business for the limited deployments are due to the customers we have already using them. They are not our centralized system of choice.
The easiest to use and understand. No other platform is as easy to understand and use. Something like Apple iCloud manages files for you and I find that very irritating. Google edits you uses and file names and send notices if you use a word that could mean you copy files
We've been using Dropbox Business since its early days. While we've considered other options, none of them provide functionality that would make us think about switching away from Dropbox Business.
- Dropbox business does a much better job with handier mobile and desktop apps; - it is much better than iCloud when used cross-platform; - it does not require the people that I share files with to have Google Accounts to use the functionality fully;
Dropbox Business is more device-agnostic when compared to the others we evaluated. Its price per user was good for the fully-featured. We like the interface, and it's easy to set up for anyone. It is also very reliable and has selective sync to keep the size of our files down.
I use both Google Drive and Dropbox. I prefer Google Drive over Dropbox when it comes to documents, organization and easier access (since I always have my Gmail up). When it comes to photos or videos, I prefer Dropbox. Much like Google Drive, Dropbox's free space is limited. In …

Chose Google Drive
Google Drive works perfectly when used in sync with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, but is less ideal for other file types. Dropbox and Dropbox Business, however, are far superior in terms of native desktop integration and managing any other file types. Dropbox also has a nicer …
From Google Drive, we like the simplicity of having a single vendor, and the integration with the rest of Google Apps. From Dropbox, we like the smooth desktop integration and the cheap storage plans.
Google Drive stacks up against Dropbox and other competitors by being the most accessible, mainstream, smooth-running application across a broad spectrum of devices at an affordable rate. Dropbox was more expensive, less organized, and did not upload or download quite as …
Google Drive is a very comparable tool to many of the marquee cloud storage systems that I have used. However, I would say that Drive has one key advantage. The sharing and collaborative options for Drive are unparalleled from my own user experience. Overall, I have had a much …
Google Drive is better because it has its own suite of product features so it's simple and easy to use. It also allows multiple people to edit at once, whereas for other products (i.e. SharePoint) you have to "check" the document out for a single person's use.
We use both Dropbox and Google Drive as some clients prefer Dropbox. In terms of how the stack up against each other, Google Drive's full suite of Apps makes it much more useful than Dropbox.
