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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.
