OneDrive can be purchased as a standalone tool, or as part of a Microsoft 365's business suite.
Dropbox Business is the more expensive option when compared to Google Drive and OneDrive. The Standard Business plan for Dropbox is the same price as the Office 365 Business Premium plan from OneDrive - which includes Office 365 tools in the cost. You must purchase a separate …
I didn't select Dropbox. I use it because my company provides it. They also provide Google Drive. Personally, I find Dropbox better to use for most things, and only use Gdrive when I know I'm sharing Google files. I feel Dropbox is a better professional solution compared to …
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 …
DropBox Business is excellent if you have people using different platforms (Windows, Mac, mobile) because it is used across all of them. If you are tied to a specific platform and use their software, such as Microsoft Office, then it may not make sense because you probably have …
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 …
Dropbox Business offers very similar file sharing via the cloud features compared to Ms OneDrive & Box. One major advantage with Dropbox Business is the desktop app. With the app users can monitor both a business Dropbox account as well as their own personal Dropbox account. …
We also use Microsoft OneDrive, but I prefer Dropbox Business. It’s more intuitive, and frankly, more people have it. We work with a lot of contractors, and almost all of them have Dropbox accounts. It makes it easier to use what everyone else is using. Also, I love the notes …
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 …
Sometimes using products outside the Microsoft ecosystem forces competition and helps to get improvements fast tracked which benefits everyone. Dropbox Business is designed from the ground up as opposed to yet another add on to a wider set of software applications. User …
Dropbox Business is far superior for user experience, file requests, and general stability, but it's a hard sell to use extensively when OneDrive is included with Microsoft 365.
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 …
I haven't used OneDrive but it is a default on some of my devices. I prefer dropbox because it is integrated with a number of other platforms. When uploading documents, it will provide a link for easy sharing with colleagues and that is helpful. It also gives an option to …
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. …
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
Dropbox saves file that can be modified. With Procore and PlanGrid you have to download the document to modify and then send via email unless you have the permissions to add
They are very alike-- in the end we need to work locally more often than others, so for that reason we went with Dropbox business as our main internal group collab for files. Box's security is better, but Dropbox's sync and sync control is better.
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.
We use many different file storage, versioning, sharing and document collaboration services. We are not exclusively using Dropbox. Rather, we use Dropbox Business when it is appropriate, like delivering to clients who use it. We also use it internally some, and as mentioned, we …
Dropbox Business is pretty must the same as all the other "online storage" platforms. Nothing really stands out that is greatly different than the other platforms mentioned. I suggest using all three and deciding which one works best for one's particular situation. Keep in …
I've stated a few times already - DropBox set the Industry standard. Even when people are using a different solution - they tend to refer to cloud filesharing as using their "DropBox". So - including those I've referenced above - they all do virtually the same thing. DropBox …
OneDrive is included in our Microsoft suite of products so there was no additional cost for us to use it. We use OneDrive for that reason mainly. For the most part, it does what you expect a cloud storage system to do, and it does it fairly well. For a larger group (10 or more …
All of these products require a document storage system or are a document storage system. All of them get you to replicate what you are currently doing and paying for with Office 365 and OneDrive as a packaged feature. It’s just as robust and is native to your operating system …
Tight integration with Office 365 is the main reason. Besides, Microsoft has a good reputation for supporting enterprise customers. Smartsheet does not have that reputation. We also have a long, stable relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft provides 1 TB of storage for each …
After our analysis, we found OneDrive superior to Dropbox and Backblaze, considering our specific scenario of use. We also found OneDrive very similar to Google Drive when comparing features, ease-of-use, etc.(both are in the same level). Google offered more storage space, but …
OneDrive was firstly integrated into our Office 365 license and integrates very well with our Microsoft Windows and Office environment. It provides good integration with Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Having the ability to allow multiple users to edit the same Word, Excel files …
For me, it is easiest to use One Drive if you are working primarily with Windows, Google Drive if you are working with Android devices or Chrome OS, but Dropbox works well on all platforms and has more business features and control over file access, etc.
I personally like Dropbox more but OneDrive has better support and it is integrated directly into the Microsoft Office environment. You can attach files directly from OneNote or Outlook and the file sharing is really easy. The versioning in OneDrive seems better although not …
One Drive stacks up well against Dropbox and ShareFile because of its ease of use. With so many people using Microsoft Office Products it is easy to pick up how to use and leverage OneDrive. OneDrive allows quick use of applications like Excel within OneDrive without having to …

Chose OneDrive
As previously mentioned, Google Drive is better for real-time collaboration, but not as intuitive when it comes to staying organized within a folder structure. Permissions model is easy to use but fairly unsophisticated.
Dropbox doesn't offer real-time collaboration at all (to …
OneDrive has its pluses and minuses. To be honest, we all switched as a company so I don't see any large benefits compared to other products, but no big misses either.
I mentioned in another area that OneDrive is bundled into our Office 365 accounts - so let me start there. Dropbox will cost you $10 and more per month. Our entire Office 365 account costs $12.50/month for each user - and we get full Office with that. Enough said there. As far …
The only things that OneDrive does better then everyone else is the integration into Sharepoint/Office documents and the 1TB storage at this price range.
Our corporate solution is Google Drive mainly because of the robust client, better cooperation inside documents, better …
In every situation I find Google Drive to be superior. Superior UI, searching, sync tool, overall feel.
It operates on an even playing field with Dropbox and Dropbox for Business and Box.com. It is similar enough that I don't feel a desire or compulsion to go out and get Dropbox…
Dropbox was great. But overall it didn't fix our needs and we wanted to stick with one platform. Cost was another factor. We were able to do more with onedrive and installation was also easy to do.
We selected OneDrive because the software integrates well into the other Microsoft Office Suite products. OneDrive, gives you that 1TB of storage for less money than Google Drive does. Despite being a Microsoft product, OneDrive has clients for non-Microsoft operating …
OneDrive does not integrate cleanly with Google products, for that Google Drive would be a better fit. If your organization uses Office 365, then OneDrive is the hands down best option as security scans and controls can be run in the same administrative interface as email …
Overall - Dropbox is strongest for syncing. Permissions aren't as granular as OneDrive - OneDrive is better in that regard. OneDrive compared to Google Drive is a draw - if you are a Google user - drive is the way to go. If Office 365 is your ecosystem - then OneDrive is your …
