Dropbox vs. Google Drive — Which is Better?

Both Dropbox and Google Drive make it easy to store whatever you need kept in the cloud, but if you’re trying to choose between them, it can be tough. Let’s look at some of the key differences between the two to find out which you should use.

I think Dropbox is way better. Dropbox supports different file types like Mov, while Google Drive or Google Photos cant even show an error message.

this video is full of disinformation, for example, dropbox has an unlimited storage plan, UNLIMITED not 30TB.
Secondly google drive for computers is a mess with 2 apps that do diferent things.
Dropbox supports google docs files and microsoft office files, google drive makes you convert every file to their own file system.
The tone of the videos if clearly in favor of google from the start and downplays any innovation or feature that is better on dropbox.
Do your research, and stop lying to people.

PS: Dropbox has a great feature that you ignored, that is called Showcase. This made me switch to them, and the fact that I am in control on which files I sync and when, not letting Google decide what it's more important.
PS2: This is a very very bad video, check other videos/channels before you decide which service is better for you.

It's a huge pain to download a sizable folder to another computer using Google Drive. First it has to zip everything then if the file is too big it would create bunch of different zip folders which can become confusing to manage. Not sure yet how it works with Drop Box. that's my next experiment.

I use iCloud primarily, however anytime I need a file on a PC, its a pain in the ass. I have 200gb of Drive, but i'm ALWAYS having issues with it. That being said, sharing folders in Drive makes it so easy to work with others. This being said, Dropbox feels like the best spot for keeping files off of your devices.

One major flaw with GD, and I've been in the Google Ecosystem forever, is that you cannot do a Transfer Request like you can with DropBox. Simply put, if you request an individual to upload content to a folder you created and that person at any time decides to remove or move that content it is also removed from your drive and even local synced drive/folder. It's a massive headache.

I have dropbox and they will only let me log in on 3 devices. I find this to be a problem if I need to use on more then 3.

Dropbox is better for share folder. every member can see who is working on that file.

About Drop Box: I am a designer who needs a laptop to work quickly and efficiently. Their app doesn't work on mac book pros. Once you upload to Drop Box, your images are there and you cannot share easily. They no longer exist on your computer. They can only view not share. You then have to re- download to your laptop again and then share. A pain in the ass. If you have lots of archives and images, this can be a nightmare. Also they have live chat if you pay, but you are unable to upload screen shots to show them problems. you have to do long waited and winded emails. I wish this video would have talked about how easy or difficult to share files with Google Drive. The real issues are with sharing and finding your files. It would be nice if you can drag and drop from saved files to your computer, but it's not.

I switched to Google Drive from Dropbox.
Dropbox desktop app is unstable and makes Windows freeze because of its high CPU usage. Mac version is still better though.
Google Drive is OK for now.

Google Drive for archiving important media & project files. Drop Box for quick Transfers to one place to another.

Which has more download/upload speed... Gdrive or dropbox???

[WallSt]

Like 14 people worldwide uses ChromeOS... why lead with that, lol

Por favor…. Valorar la parte operativa, funcional y no tanto enfoque en el costo. Cual es más fácil de operar ?

I don't get it, why Dropbox refuses to offer plans for the average user. Now only with 120 EUR payment per year, if you only need 50 GB instead of 2000 GB. 2 GB free is ridiculous nowadays. Obviously they only aim for business users.

I wanted to know which paid plan would be best for me with Dropbox, but I can't speak to someone without a paid plan. Chat with a bot, FFS. How stupid

[jagratdesai]

I have dropbox, but now that I'm thinking of moving to Android, Google Drive seems better, as your video says. It'd be good to get more details on why and how Google Drive works better with native Android apps and how deeply it's integrated into the OS.

I pay 15€/Month for google drive unlimited,
