Well, it's $15/user for unlimited storage. Google Apps is $5/user for 30GB for each user, and then you have to start buying additional storage with "licenses"[1] which brings the price a little closer to Dropbox if you have a lot of data. I only use a Google Apps account so I don't know how well the clients work with multiple accounts (private Gmail and Apps). Maybe Dropbox will handle it better?
Obviously, Google Apps gives you much more than just Google Drive so the comparison will greatly depend on what other services you need/use, what your employees and contractors already know, and whether you have Linux clients since Goolge Drive still doesn't support Linux.

- yid 13y ago> Google Apps is $5/user for 30GB for each user I'd be willing to wager that someone at Google has figured out that 30GB/user covers > N% of users, where N ~ 80-90. This makes Drive more attractive than Dropbox for that N%.
- Spooky23 13y agoI believe Google pools the storage. Office 365 does the same thing. My org manages many thousands of people each with 10GB of OneDrive space. We allocate big users as much as 200GB of space without even looking at the allocation ,because most user needs are very light.
- eitally 13y agoGoogle does not currently pool the storage, but will move to that model in coming quarters.
