OneDrive can be purchased as a standalone tool, or as part of a Microsoft 365's business suite.
We were looking for a cloud storage tool for individual use on a business structure, Dropbox is a good go-to solution for us. We already subscribe to Office 365, using OneDrive we needed more storage than provided. For small businesses like us and probably self-employed either …
it is fast & easy to use has some additional features as well, like reviewing reports directly & we can add comments directly in the reports in Dropbox but other application don't provide us this option. Dropbox is also cost iffective then OneDrive and other softwares available …

Chose Dropbox
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.
It's easy to share files directly from Dropbox with links to non-Dropbox users. We've had issues with OneDrive files not syncing properly or quickly and files never showing up. Dropbox clearly shows your file location with little icons.
iCloud I have used, but I prefer Dropbox as I believe it can be used on multiple platforms, whereas iCloud seems to require all users to have Apple hardware. OneDrive I have used as well, and it seems to work fine, but again iCloud seems to be used more universally and is …
OneDrive appears to be tied to a single user account, limiting file sharing abilities.

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 …

Company selected Dropbox. No significant difference between Dropbox and OneDrive in my usage experience.
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 …
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 …
it is easier to access Dropbox using devices other than laptop/ computers. for example, i can open files using ipad when i'm commuting. it is easier to give immediate response if needed, rather than wait until i arrive office/ home to turn on my laptop. it facilitates …

Chose Dropbox
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.
Dropbox is better for integrating with third-party apps and collaborating on audio, video, and image files, and it gives you an easier time managing the security settings if you're gunning for business plans.
Dropbox is available for Linux which is a game changer. Moreover, the syncing speeds on Dropbox are really fast. It is value for money for businesses. However, for personal use, one drive is much cheaper and therefore more affordable for personal use. However, in a professional …
My organization uses Dropbox in addition to Google Drive. Dropbox is much easier to share with people outside the organization, without the need of providing access to the whole Google infrastructure. It is also much more lightweight than Google Drive and has a better sync …
We are a small business but when attempting to operate in other systems we find there are problems with file sharing, sometimes a document started by one of us, and we "share" it, and still the others cannot access the information. Not a good structure of hierarchy of files. …
Versatility and Integration: we value a user-friendly interface, seamless collaboration, and extensive third-party integrations. Collaboration Across Platforms: Dropbox's compatibility across various operating systems suits our teams' diverse device preferences. Focus on File …
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 …
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 …
OneDrive is overall a strong contender whereas only the cost is more compared to Google Drive. Another additional strength compared to Dropbox or Google Drive is the capability of OneDrive to connect with other Microsoft applications smoothly and seamlessly, thus, allowing …
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.
We are a Microsoft ecosystem, so IDrive isn't appropriate. Dropbox was more expensive and less integrated to Windows. OneDrive is part of our Office 365 subscription, so the decision-making process was easy.
OneDrive was a perfect fit for our use case. Sharepoint was too robust and complicated, Dropbox too simple. Not an Apple shop fo iCloud was out. Not a Google shop, so less appealing. OneDrive fit the bill perfectly.
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 …
I believe OneDrive was selected due to Microsoft's proven record on information security. It is easily integrated with other apps that employees use within the office suite. Google and Dropbox services do not seem as secure as Microsoft O365 products. In a highly regulated …
In past organizations, I have utilized Dropbox as a tool for file sharing and document collaboration. In my opinion, OneDrive is a much more comprehensive solution, because OneDrive takes Dropbox one step further by integrating and automatically saving files in the device in a …
I think OneDrive and Dropbox are very compatible, however Dropbox has the advantage of being out in the market earlier. There is also a perception that OneDrive is not compatible across devices especially since Dropbox has apps across different platforms. Lastly there is also a …
I really find them equals in performance. I have used Dropbox for over a decade and it has always been reliable. However, Dropbox is not integrated with Microsoft Teams and it is much more expensive.
Compared to Dropbox, I like it a lot more. The user interface looks cleaner, your files are secure, and collaboration is encouraged with the tools that they offer.
OneDrive is my go to solution because included in the price of OneDrive is full access to the Microsoft Office suite of programs. It also includes all the same features as Google Drive and Dropbox, but includes those programs and even an email account if you want, so its the …
Though Dropbox has been in existence and popular, I found OneDrive to be much more effective in terms of pricing. And app support is better with OneDrive. Also as mentioned the new feature of not downloading all files but showing the names gets my vote for OneDrive. One more …
Dropbox does not have convenient business solutions such as cloud reporting. But One Drive ,It's a platform that virtually everyone already uses to some extent: it's more user-friendly and provides a better browser-based experience.
OneDrive is integrated with O365 and Outlook, as well as Windows is really the game-changer. Dropbox and Google pioneered the way, but Microsoft has a tightly integrated, dead simple solution here that I struggle to find complaint with. Google gives some better options for …
OneDrive feels native is you are a Microsoft 365 user. The integration aspect of being a Microsoft customer and using all platform tools together helps with driving adoption, ease of learning, and overall efficiency. While Google Drive is widely used as well, there is a ramp …
"Describe how OneDrive stacks up against (alternatives) and why you selected OneDrive." It doesn't, except it's more secure than Gdrive. Definitely wouldn't select OneDrive for anything important.

OneDrive stands out above these services in the integration it has with other Office 365 applications. There is no cloud storage solution that integrates as well with these applications that most users use on a daily basis. OneDrive has also made it easy for users to …
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 …
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 …
