I haven't switched, but I am giving it serious thought.
It probably matters that I haven't downloaded the Google Drive client yet, but on the basis of cost alone, Google Drive is substantially cheaper.
That said, I love Dropbox (which is the reason I haven't switched yet), but the features they seem to be rolling out aren't particularly appealing to me. I just really want somewhere to store my files.
Dropbox also has the advantage of being the client I use to share files with a variety of people already and I'm honestly not sure if I downgraded to the free plan, that I could keep up with all those fileshares. I'll have to look and see where the cap is implemented.
If I have a 2Gb plan, and a paid user shares a 3Gb folder with me, do I have to upgrade to see/use it?
- Piskvorrr 15y agoAs far as my experience goes, the answer is "yes" for Dropbox - your account will show "1 GB over quota" (and syncing will stop) in this case, as shared folders count toward the quota both for you and the person who shared it with you. Many moons ago, Dropbox promised this will be changed, but it has been on hiatus ever since (my guess is on slightly larger profits and drastically simpler quota accounting).
