Dropbox emerged as our preferred choice among various cloud storage and collaboration solutions due to its winning combination of user-friendliness, cross-platform compatibility, collaboration features, and pricing that aligned perfectly with the needs of our medium-sized …
I am more used to Google Drive so I am partial to that. I find the organization and sharing a bit easier to understand. However, this may be a learning curve as I am still relatively new to the role and company.

I've had the opportunity to use Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive extensively and each has its strengths and weaknesses. Dropbox stands out with its user-friendly interface and exceptional file syncing capabilities, though its limited free storage and higher pricing are …

Even though Google Drive is a solid contender specially if you already use Google Apps for Business, Dropbox still performs better with its native app. It syncs quicker and has better features that Google Drive does not currently offer. Something we use quite a bit is the …

Suddenly Google Drive increased its prices on a similar range to Dropbox.
Google Drive has some inconvenient limitations for the kind of usage that we expect from a cloud service, for example, it allows only a per day sync limit of 750K of files, and sometimes we need to sync …

Although Dropbox and Google Drive can be interchangeable, we find that Dropbox is more helpful for our Design Team because it has larger storage space and can sync to their desktop apps. This allows them to save their files faster and easier than downloading and reuploading the …
I do not like using Google Drive, it doesn't organize the files as well and sharing files with other people is difficult.

I have used them for different things in the past, thus cannot really compare them on the same level. Google Drive is for less files, less people shared (or at least what I use it for) whereas Dropbox is for a lot more people, more files and more everything. Overall both great …
Google Drive has less days to restore, file restore insulation was initially a driving reason for us to pay a premium beyond the Google Drive service we already had been purchasing.
As stated earlier, Dropbox, as an agnostic platform, just plays well with a wide variety of devices. This broad compatibility is the primary reason why I decided to switch over to the platform. Close integration within a suite of apps is hardly worthwhile when it hinders your …
Dropbox can be used regardless of the employee's platform or whereabouts. With a remote company, it is essential a site can be reached no matter the country or time. Dropbox also has great tools to keep you organized- finding things is easy if you keep up with a clean way of …
OneDrive was far too expensive for us to continue to use. We also experienced issues with file uploads either taking too long or not uploading correctly, leading to lost files. We selected Dropbox for the value the service provides and have experienced no issues with file …
I've not considered others, but I find that Dropbox is so versatile that I have not considered another platform. Dropbox makes it so easy for what I need to do. It allows me to store lots of related information tougher and to easily search for it. It allows me to share it too.
Dropbox is more versatile in the sense it is more accessible to more users. Dropbox has a more user friendly user interface.

I like the ease of sharing links from Dropbox to point someone directly to a file. There are virtually no steps to locating a file, whereas from our main server we have to connect through CiscoWeb and then login to the server.

I don't really use OneDrive because I have limited data for internet access. OneDrive always wants to upload everything I have on my computer, which uses way too much data. Dropbox allows me to choose what I upload easily. Google doesn't have the storage space Dropbox provides.
Google Drive seems to integrate with Windows more comprehensively than Dropbox. Both are pretty easy to use and seem to be reliable. Our team has not had any security issues with Google Drive.
The Dropbox organization system seems confusing and it becomes expensive if it's needed to be used by several different accounts. Also the user interface seems less clear than Google Drive and pricing plans are not so affordable given the functions offered. Also there is no way …
Google Drive and Dropbox have very similar functionality. I liked Google Drive better because it was easier to integrate with my existing Gmail and other Google apps. It also automatically coexists on any Android phone or tablet and can automatically backup your pictures. It …
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.
They can all do the basics equally well, storing and sharing documents. Google Drive is the best from an ease of use perspective. SharePoint is a little better in terms of user management. Dropbox has the best name recognition, but not all the features you will need. If you …
I had similar problems with Dropbox, that's why I switched to Google Drive. But when I think about my recent experience, I see that the Dropbox experience was not so bad. They were at least able to revert the changes and their app, although has problems, was not as ridiculous …
We found in comparing Dropbox with Google Drive it was lacking in ease of use, price to expand was not as attractive. We found sharing files with our clients was more difficult than with Google Drive. Our clients, when they had to shift into using it found it seamless. We did …
Feature-wise, Google Drive is at the bottom of its peers. However, due to its Google Mail user base, Google Drive has wide acceptance and penetration. Its ease-of-use feature is probably somewhere in the middle, lower than Dropbox but higher than OneDrive. It is free but so are …
I have used both Dropbox and Google Drive. In my experience, Google Drive is much more flexible and the seamless integration with our other Google products and even non-Google products makes our processes much easier to set up and much more efficient at the end of the day. It …
The most indeed reason is the security provided by Google. Every other company can provide lots of cloud space but my sensitive data is the key so, secure system is my first priority.

Google Drive works with a Google account. So I don't need to use multiple account credentials. And it is easy to remember one account. And one more thing which motivated me to go for Google Drive is its speed for performing multiple tasks.

In short, Google Drive is better for independent users who store a normal amount of stuff. OneDrive makes more sense for businesses and teams that are doing heavy-duty storage or large-scale syncing. Realistically, though, most users will fall somewhere in between the two, …

Google's own data and a word processor is the main factor in choosing Drive. Another thing I like about Google over Microsoft is the shareable link, which is more interpretable and helps me avoid sharing the wrong link.
