I switched from Onedrive to Dropbox about 3-4 months ago for several reasons.
1) I have zero usage for MS office, and if I did I could just use my wife's version she got for being a student. So this isn't a value add for me.
2) I find the web interface and the windows integration much better on the dropbox side
3) Most importantly, Onedrive has zero support for tracking versions of non-document files. Since I have the extreme need to quickly exchange files between my several computers the last thing I need is for some ransomeware to get activated by some 0-day and compromise my primary backup. Yes I have secondary backups but it is not nearly as easily as rolling back files in dropbox.
4) I REALLY did not like how integrated windows is with OneDrive, going as far as making it a royal PITA to not make it the default save location for new files, and the complication of now having 2 "My Documents" folders.
There were other misc issues that I had with Onedrive that I can't remember at this point in time but I really did not like one drive as a whole and have been happy since moving to Dropbox.
