I joined Dropbox in around 2010 and used it religiously through University to ensure all my work was being backed up as I worked on assignments. I used it for group projects and it was fantastic, at the time it was the most reliable cloud storage and I tried Microsoft Live Mesh, Live drive etc and found they were unreliable in syncing changes to edited files. Dropbox was flawless.
I then shifted into using it to also back up my photos from my mobile and camera, however my photo storage started to grow and this year I switched to Google Drive & Photos for much much less than Dropbox was offering per month. I think 100GB of Google Drive & Photos is $25.99 per year opposed to $184 per year for 1TB with DropBox. I don't need 1TB but 100GB is perfect compared to 10GB with Dropbox (that I had).
- cerved 5y agoIt really bothers me how hard it is to download all your photos
- lazide 5y agoHow so? If you use takeout it’s decently smooth. I have over a terabyte in G photos.
- cerved 5y agodidn't know about Google takeout still I'd prefer if it was just accessibile from Drive
- NoPicklez 5y agoI find it quite easy, with Dropbox and Google Photos you just install the app and enable background sync. It's never let me down.
- citizenkeen 5y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Google Photos stores pictures in original size anymore.
