The Personal Plus plan comes with 2TB and costs $11.99 (£9.99) per month - this can be upgraded to 3TB for $19.99 (£19.99) per month, which brings a couple of additional features like longer file versioning and more personalized sharing options. The handful of personal plans offer adequate storage, but we would like to see cheaper options and scalability for even more storage. Dropbox vs Google Drive: Pricingįree Dropbox accounts get 2GB of storage and access to most of the features, but the experience is somewhat scaled back and leaves users wanting more. Google Drive offers almost identical services, but it’s a little harder to get access to real human support as the company seems to be pushing its self-help articles, presumably to cut operating costs. There are also email and live chat channels for more responsive and real-time support, but only business customers are entitled to phone support. Dropbox vs Google Drive: Supportīecause Dropbox was one of the first cloud storage companies to gain mainstream traction, it has had plenty of time to publish and refine its extensive catalog of self-help articles. While these times are only a guideline, and are specific to our own machines and Internet connection, and should not be used to represent each company, they serve as a solid foundation for comparison.

For reference, throttled services generally took around 10 minutes to download 1GB in our tests. The download took less than a minute for Dropbox, and a minute and a half for Google Drive, which we consider to be among the best.

Cloud storage reviews: how we tested themīoth Dropbox and Google Drive managed the upload in just over four minutes, which is as good as it gets give our broadband connection.

For the latter, we used the same 1GB test file to check upload and download speeds, which gives an indication as to whether the company applies behind-the-scenes throttling. In an effort to find out which cloud storage drive is best, we took more than 20 of them and compared their features, value, and performance. Like Dropbox and Microsoft One Drive, Google Drive has plenty of settings to tailor things like bandwidth usage and proxy selection, which is more than can be said about iCloud Drive.īusiness users especially will be attracted to the variety of third-party integrations supported by Google Drive, including mind-mapping tools and document converters, however Box supports a lot more. It syncs files in the background and places them inside your native file management system - like File Explorer and Finder - so there’s little need to open the Google Drive app. That said, if you do prefer to work from other, non-Google apps, maybe the desktop client would make more sense.

It’s a good thing that the experience is slick then the familiar-looking interface supports drag-and-drop from your desktop and is easy to navigate. Unlike Microsoft Office and Apple’s offerings, Google’s apps are online only: there is no desktop software.įor this reason, we think Google Drive is best accessed through its browser portal. Google Drive takes a similar approach to managing files in its storage space, however the company’s own suite of word processing apps (Docs, Sheets, and Slides) are among the best in the business.

That way, you can drag and drop your files and let them sync in the background without having to wait for an upload or download in the browser. If you prefer to work from a different set of apps, such as Word (opens in new tab), Excel (opens in new tab), and PowerPoint (opens in new tab), the easiest experience will come from using the desktop client which keeps your files in File Explorer or Finder.

From the browser, you have access to the entire Google ecosystem, including its free Docs, Sheets, and Slides apps, as well as other apps like YouTube, Maps, and Calendar. Google Drive works in a very similar way to Dropbox, however it’s arguably better when accessed through a browser. Paid accounts get access to three e-signatures per month with the company’s HelloSign service, and while its Paper word processing app is a little limited, third-party integrations are aplenty with direct access to things like Microsoft Office from within the Dropbox interface. It’s arguably a better system than Apple’s Keychain and Google Chrome’s built-in tool thanks to the fact that it’s available on most devices, regardless of operating system or browser, as it works through its own app.

The company’s password manager Passwords is bundled in with every account, free and paid, however free accounts are limited to 50 passwords. For confidential files, Dropbox recommends storing them in its ‘Vault’ which is a password-protected space within your storage allowance, which can be handy for family accounts.
