Google and Microsoft are the two biggest names in the tech space right now, so it's not surprising that users are always comparing their cloud storage services.

In this video, we’re going to finally squash the debate between Onedrive and Google Drive and crown the ultimate winner! We’ll compare both services in terms of features, performance, security, and prices of each cloud service.

Who will come out on top in this showdown? Watch this video to find out.

Onedrive has a lot of amazing features like its incredible syncing feature.

Onedrive automatically uploads every file on your computer to the cloud, and if you use OneDrive on multiple devices, every change you make on every file will automatically sync across every device.

This means you can access your content on all your devices remotely without having them with you, which is pretty cool. Similarly, File On-Demand and Personal Vault are also great Features.

On the other hand, Google Drive certainly stacks up with One Drive when we look at its features and functionality.

One of its great features is the ease with which you can share files between people. You can share folders and files with other collaborators with email invites or regular links.

The Team Drive also gives you customized spaces for colleagues to collaborate on different files and folders.

It's also worth noting that popular Google products like Docs, Sheets, Slides and other presentation apps are neatly integrated into this cloud storage service.

As such, you can create and access files without any difficulty. They are all refined, slick apps that easily match their rivals.

Watch the video for more details.

OneDrive has messed me up more times than I can say! Syncing with several devices has made a literal chaotic jumble that unraveling the mess is a nightmare. I end up with Documents/Documents/Documents - Pictures/Pictures, duplicates of everything. Two camera rolls, etc. Also, collections create duplicates, then you try making albums...in short, organizing is a headache, and I've lost many folders and files depending on which device
I'm using, and if I make changes from my PC or online. My internet bites and in my wooded area cannot be online like the rest of the free world. No high speed internet, and I'm on a metered, slow network.

I've been using one drive for almost 2 years and honestly it sucks, I hate that whenever I open my task manager I see one drive using all of my cpu.

Went with Google 1 about an hour before watching this video. I've been using One Drive on my corporate computer for over a year. I think I made the right choice. You know Moores Law. This video was uploaded two years ago. Also got YouTube Premium

Using a NAS is the best investment for me.

What happens when I delete media from my phone? Will they be deleted from my Onedrive or Google Drive as well?

OneDrive's zip download speed sucks basically. You try to download some files and folder and it creates a zip which would take million years to download even if you got 1 GBPS internet speed. Google handles this way better. That's why despite being a 365 user I have to share files with people via Google Drive and not OneDrive. Wish Microsoft would look into this

[auroram]

the onedrive prices are not up to date. they are at least $20 more than listed here.

Google drive let's you back up any folders but OneDrive only allows you to back up Desktop, Documents and Picturea folders. Although you can back up other folders too by changing the folder location.

[mugenliv]

Which one keeps ur videos at true quality though???

[gardenstate]

I will probably use Google drive cuz of the pricing, however don't forget that the 15 gig is combined with Gmail and all Google cloud services

[andershattne]

So there is no way to automatically sync Google drive folders on several computers like OneDrive does?
Maybe i'll have to look into Dropbox too

One drive really screwed up the desk-top of one of my PCs without my knowledge or approval. Somehow, it copied a desktop from a windows 10 PC onto a Windows 11 PC, complete with shortcuts to files and Apps which didn't work and weren't even on the other PC. It took me ages to sort that one out.

I want to turn off all automatic featurres of ONE DRIVE and use it as a remote logical drive that I can manually move or copy files to from my physical hard drives on my desktop using FILE EXPLORER in Win 10. I am having trouble turning off the auto synch features and have found that there is a hidden directory on my desktop hard drive that contains a copy of everything I have stored on the Cloud Onedrive. This is using up way too much disk space on my desktop Logical C drive. You may be wondering why I am doing this and the reason is that I have two physical hard drives on my desktop and a total of eight Logical hard drives. This is to help organize all my files going back 20 years etc.. So you see, I really just want a remote logical drive for backup of my files to be copied only manually.

One drive has just messy smartphone apps. No possibility to classify the photos. Just a timeline. Even clean-up feature doesn't work on my android phone. The UX is awfull. Reallyvsurprising weak performance. You can't use the photos afterwards to create something actually. It's a pure storage, not a system. Except good security reputation and low price foe complete package with office 364 it has no advantage.

You guys missed something. OneDrive also lets you use all Microsoft tools like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, just like Google does with Docs and Sheets.

[lSeKToRl]

Didn't know visual politik guys did tech.

[aluczrd]

well i prefer google drive because of the pricing and its simplicity, idk about the prices in other countries but here in my is like some 78$ for 2tb annually and thats enough so yeah

OneDrive's Files-On-Demand sucks. it will always take a long time for any large files that has to be downloaded first.
You can also never play big video files from the cloud. It has to be downloaded first before viewing. I never had these issues with Google Drive.

[crossleydd]

I use Google Drive because it has Google Forms, a useful adjunct which OneDrive doesn't possess and you didn't mention.

[denncorby]

I'll take Box or Mega over both. It's called simplicity and non-interference. I need clouds to stash stuff including backups. No need for collaboration. No need for integration. No need for continuous fractional backups. No need for the problems & headaches One Drive causes. The Google security is not trustworthy. Simple decision.
