Considered Both Products	Dropbox Verified User Chose Dropbox Google Drive's privacy is like way worse. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Dropbox is more user friendly for file storage when you want to open and make notes on pdf etc. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox I think Dropbox is better and also better priced. They are quite different to what Dropbox is used for but I do use we transfer once in a while when people don't have access or an account with Dropbox Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox I like to use OneDrive for photos/log-term storage. It gives me more storage space but seems to take longer to sync than Dropbox. That's why I use Dropbox for file sharing, current work, and photos that I'm using at this moment. I had Dropbox first because I had the free … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Reliability, precise and seamless synchronisation are the top features that make Dropbox my preferred choice. Incentivized Helpful? Gretchen Becker Owner and Creative Director in Professional Services at Ash and Arrow Events LLC (Events Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Dropbox Much better - other programs seem to have more bugs. Incentivized Helpful? Ishanie Sanchez-Rodriguez Approved Clinical Supervisor at Ishanie Sanchez (Mental Health Care, 1-10 employees) Chose Dropbox Dropbox has been around for quite some time and I feel like it's a pretty trustworthy and long lasting platform. I'm thankful that I still have files saved over the past 10 years that are easily accessible to me. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox I use Google Drive for personal projects (although frankly, I have a personal account on Dropbox too). I don't think I'd ever use Google Drive for a professional project. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox It is good, but sometimes I just feel good about using the apple product since I have the iphone and imac. But whenever I use Dropbox I am reminded that I could do everything I am doing there within Dropbox and that I typically feel more comfortable that my files are safe. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Dropbox is somehow easier to use, it is lighter and faster. Also the UX is more understandable and clear to me. I used Google Drive because it was a standard with one of my clients... But I really didn't like it. I truly hope, I will not be forced to use it again. Incentivized Helpful? Bjørn Persson Domain Expert in Research & Development at Hauketo Idrettsforening (Sports, 1-10 employees) Chose Dropbox Use both but Dropbox is the primary storage Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Dropbox provides a much larger amount of storage, a wide range of file acceptance, and a more direct integration into our devices. Although Google Drive is useful, it has too many limitations for our business to use in the quantity and quality we want. Google Drive also mostly … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Dropbox is strong in terms of navigability and storage. However, Google Drives proves stronger for collaborating on live documents Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox SharePoint does not connect with file explorer like Dropbox does. it is more difficult to work on files in SharePoint as well as you edit them in the browser, rather than through another application. for example: on SharePoint, an excel spreadsheet can only be edited through … Incentivized Helpful? Kenichi Yokoyama Professor at Duke University (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Dropbox Dropbox is comparable to Box in most aspects. Dropbox is significantly easier to use than Google Drive. Incentivized Helpful? Gianpaolo Macario Software Architect in Research & Development at SOLARMA (Renewables & Environment, 1-10 employees) Chose Dropbox Simpler and more intuitive user interface Much faster synchronization - especially wrt OneDrive Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox Compares well. The two work very similarly on my macOS latop, but I feel Dropbox has the edge on mobile devices. Google Drive web interface seems more intuitive and it's easier to share files and links to files. Both are comparable with price and storage options. Would be good … Incentivized Helpful? Christina Ingram Product tester at Curion (Market Research, 1-10 employees) Chose Dropbox I like the Dropbox because it’s convenient and Photo Booth should be added. My Photo Booth is free right now and I wish Dropbox was free because this is a little too expensive. I feel like the price is a little too outstanding I wish they would lower it because this don’t make … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox I started on Dropbox before any of these. I hate OneDrive as it constantly crashes. Google Drive enables collaboration simultaneously, as does Teams, but the limited formatting options in Google's version of Word drives me nuts. With Teams - because I didn't create the files … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox You can create an account easily and begin storing files but an account is not required in order to access them the way it is on some of these other programs. Also, any type of file can be easily stored and downloaded to a device with Dropbox, but some of these attempt to … Incentivized Helpful? Sai Cherukupalli Sys Ops Manager in Information Technology at RFOX (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Dropbox The above products have good features but have some functionality missing in each of them. In comparison, Dropbox has all of them included in it which is very helpful. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox It is [...] easy to navigate. You don't have a learning curve with Drive. I selected Dropbox because I did not select Dropbox. It is my organization's native cloud storage so I had to deal with it. I am not mad, also not disappointed, but also not happy. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Dropbox A bit less integrated than iCloud or OneDrive, but the company has focused on this aspect since day one. I have always used it and trust it. Incentivized Helpful? Tony Alcala Manager at Pound Management Inc. (Management Consulting, 11-50 employees) Chose Dropbox Dropbox has better security. Incentivized Helpful?
