Switched from Dropbox to Google Drive a few months ago. the UIs are very similar, and Drive is much cheaper. My only complaint has been syncing:
1) After a week of repeated attempts, I gave up trying to get video from Dropbox to Drive. Maybe the files were too large?
2) Also, syncs are faster and more seamless across devices with Dropbox. There are noticeable lags for most syncs with Drive, even small, single files.
3) Event when Drive thinks it has synced, it hasn't and I have to restart the app.
There are other benefits to Drive, but I never had any sync issues with Dropbox.
- jadoint 14y agoI was pretty excited about Google Drive when it first came out due to its pricing and integration with my current Google account. The syncing just isn't where Dropbox is right now and not where I need it to be. I would oftentimes get errors for small files that Google Drive couldn't sync but Drive would provide few cryptic descriptions as to why. I've switched back to Dropbox because I'm running multiple OSes and environments and I take their pricing as the cost of being able to use something that just works. I'd be interested in a backup service directly from Amazon though...
