What network effects? Its just as easy to share files with someone who has Google Drive as it is Dropbox. In fact probably easier with Google Drive because more people have a Google account (800M ACTIVE gmail users was the last number I read).
As for switching costs, its pretty easy right? Drag from one folder to another?
Delta sync is a real issue, but what do you mean their mobile app pushes you to Google+, havent seen that....
- FigBug 13y agoIf you want to work on files with people (other than supported by google docs) you both need the desktop app installed. Far more people have the Dropbox desktop app installed than Google drive. I find Dropbox websharing far easier, right-click share and it puts the link on the clipboard. Google drive makes you go through a dialog. Google Drive doesn't have history for non google doc files. We use it as a simple version control for all our documents.
- dagw 13y agoWhat network effects? Just about every time I start a new project with an outside client, one of the first things they do is ask to set up a Dropbox share for the project. I've once had a person want to use Box, and never had anybody even mention Google Drive.
- alooPotato 13y agoAhhh that makes sense.
