Chose Evernote
Box was too expensive for the features. OneDrive and iCloud are catching up but have limited storage and no Web Clipping function nor internal document search. SugarSync was more of a backup solution than an indexing tool.
Evernote is not a great cloud drive or to-do list tool. However, Evernote allows one to organize resources in a way none of the other tools do. I can search in Evernote based on tags which is something I cannot do in a cloud drive (at least not that I know). This is important …
The tagging function makes Evernote stand out from the competition. It allows cross-referencing of information. You can easily find information stored in mutable notebooks. For this reason it is still a go to program for certain projects.
OneNote is the best alternative to Evernote. OneNote is structured just like a standard notebook. Google Keep is good for taking notes but it's in basic stages.

Chose Evernote
I had tried Microsoft OneNote after installing and using Evernote, but it didn't have many of the features to which I had grown accustomed. But OneNote may be a better option for Outlook users who want to keep and share all of their data via the OneDrive or Microsoft Office 365.
I think OneDrive fares better in the enterprise and business realm than Dropbox or Google Drive since it can be adapted to a large set of employees easily and tied in with Office365 + Active Directory. Both Dropbox and Google Drive seem more apt for single one-off consumer use.
I would say that it is at least as good as Dropbox and is easier to configure than Apple iCloud. Also Apple iCloud doesn't allow shared folders or files.
