Google Drive vs Dropbox vs OneDrive: Which cloud solution is right ... (TechRadar)

The features on offer are some of the most important reasons to go with one particular cloud storage solution over another. Google Drive offers file versioning, ...

All things considered, we’d probably have to recommend Google Drive - particularly if you’re a big Android or Chromebook user. Dropbox business plans cost between $15 (£12) and $50 (£40) per user per month. Google Drive, meanwhile, costs either $1.99 (£1.59), $2.99 (£2.49), or $9.99 (£7.99) per month for 100GB, 200GB, or 2TB respectively, or users can subscribe to Google One on an annual basis. Although they’re unlikely to be of much interest to serious users, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive all offer free plans. Similarly, Dropbox also has plenty of self-help articles for users in need of support. OneDrive, for example, doesn’t make it the easiest for users to access email and phone support channels, so they may reluctantly decide to stick with the relevant self-help articles - which are admittedly extensive. In addition, please be aware that the speeds we measured are only an indication and many users will find that their results vary with different broadband connections. Google Drive offers file versioning, advanced search, offline access, and a variety of preview and layout options but its close integration with other Google tools may be its most popular feature. If speed is essential, then Dropbox was the winner, delivering an impressive sub-one-minute time. Dropbox hosts everything in a designated Dropbox folder, whether you are a Windows or macOS user. However, given the sheer number of cloud solutions on the market today, from [cloud document storage](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-cloud-document-storage) to [photo cloud storage](https://www.techradar.com/best/best-cloud-storage-for-photos), it can be useful to broaden comparisons to encompass a variety of cloud solutions. Each of these solutions represents some big hitters in the cloud market.
