I honestly don’t understand how you can find google drive better than dropbox. I wanted to use google drive. It would have given me more space for emails, and I wouldn’t have had to deal with another service. But even syncing files from my computer to the cloud never worked properly. I kept getting conflicts and files that would always fail. Then there is the ”shortcut” debacle where you can’t sync files that are shared with you on your own computer. Dropbox just works.

Okay, those are apparently different use cases. I was mainly speaking about the browser GUI, which seems great to me for Google Drive. Also the Android app was much better when I last tried it. There are also little features. For example, if a Dropbox folder is shared with you, you can't simply put a short cut to that folder in your own Dropbox folders. You have to "remember" it outside of your Dropbox folder structure, e.g. via a browser bookmark. Perhaps Dropbox is indeed better when it comes to synchronizing folders though, which was its original purpose after all, as the name suggests.
