Okay, I just had to comment and say that I was genuinely surprised to see that you channel didn't have thousands of subs. The quality on this video is absolutely amazing! Keep it up!

One of the best explanation i have ever seen, honestly no hurrying no annoying music and absolutely no overhyping just great ❤️❤️❤️

Great content! Can't find this anywhere else: perfect level of detail and balanced recommendations. Keep up the good work!

First of all, great vlog. Very informative. I can only speak from my experience. I had been using Google Drive for a long time, then had a situation where I lost a hard drive. I lost some files that I thought were backed up on Google Drive, but in fact weren't, for some reason. I think I traced the problem to a major revision of Google Drive quite some time ago. What happened was the oldest folders continued to be served well by Google Drive, but folders I created after the major update looked like they were being backed up, but instead, were only on my hard drive. My guess is that this will not be a problem for younger users here. However, for me, this fell into a once bitten twice shy mindset, and I refuse to trust my files to Google Drive for that reason. I am a Windows 10 user, so I like the idea of the tighter linkage to the operating system that OneDrive offers. No need for any interim level software wedged between google and the operating system drivers for the services. And no, I do not work for Microsoft, hehe.

This is one of the most well thought out and then explained videos. You're really good Shaan! Keep up the fantastic work!

I don't drop comments a lot but I had to say your explanation & breakdown of the 2 products was well presented, explained & made it easy to understand unlike a few other videos that made it all a bit too complex then it needed to be.

I'm also surprised you didn't have more subscribers, but hopefully with time that will change.

Keep up the quality, content & presentation of your videos Shaan 🙂👍🏽

Great video!! But I feel none of the options suit me since I'm all about privacy and that's why I use Internxt Drive (decentralized, client-side encrypted and zero-knowledge). It would be great if you made a video about Decentralized clouds!

OneDrive offers more performance than Google Drive, I have tested both cloud storage services in terms of downloads, especially downloading folders containing many files or folders containing large files. I think OneDrive is superior to Google Drive in terms of exporting and downloading. The purpose of exporting here is, when we make a request for a OneDrive folder or Google Drive will prepare the file that we request, the two platforms will compress it first and then the download process begins. I rarely encounter problems exporting and downloading using the OneDrive cloud storage service. When I make a request to download a folder, be it a folder containing many files or a folder containing large files. When I requested the folder, OneDrive immediately prepared it for me, it didn't take long and the download process for the folder I requested immediately started.

As for Google Drive, more specifically the Google Drive web interface, it is not uncommon for me to encounter problems in the form of slow Google Drive in terms of file preparation (compression process) and the download process. In my experience, I've made a request to download a folder that contains many files, Google Drive takes minutes in the folder compression process or I've even encountered a problem in the form of Google Drive failing to compress the file I requested. Another problem, when I request a folder containing large files whose size exceeds 4 GB, Google Drive immediately compresses it and divides it into two zip files even though I only requested one folder for download.

In the UK, you get Google's VPN included for the 200GB plan and above. I appreciate that this may not have been the case at the time of recording but just in case anyone was wondering.

Been using one drive for a long time and I love it. I share the photos with my clients and students seemingly. It is just so good!

[SayandeepBMSCE]

The quality of your videos are amazing!

[munnykumarAFK]

That's a very polish comparison. I don't think anything is left to be compared. Amazing video. Keep up the good work 😃

[tinkeringeekkissimmeefl]

Thank you for a thorough comparison between MS OneDrive and Google 1. I learned a lot since I am using both services. It's good to understand the differences between these services and each offers different options for customization.

[Hellowalnut]

This is such a neat comparison between the two service providers. Thanks a lot for this video ❤

[nitingoswami]

[behkii]

Perfect comparison! This is exactly what I needed thank you!

I stumbled upon your channel via recommendations, and now enjoying the tech documentaries 🎉

I love google, its snappy, fast and search friendly, but in terms of price comparison, Microsoft 365 is far ahead than google 1. 5 licence of Microsoft office 365, 1 TB times 5 cloud storage, skype 100 mins each for world wide, telephone call credit (except some countries) etc.

This was really good! I decided on 100GB Google One plan for my family alone. I am a student, and hence little to no office type of work. So Google.

[thatswhatshesaid]

You do have a great way of explaining things.
Could make a video about google photos alternetive after 1st June, 2021?
