Well for my purposes, and this is subjective, google drive works equally well. Granted I may not need all the features that dropbox offers anyway. However, google seems to be quickly coming up to par with the rest of dropbox's offerings, and in the long run as cloud storage becomes more and more of a commodity the only differentiator will be price.
- jordanthoms 12y agoGoogle Drive's online stuff is good, but the syncing client is still way worse than Dropbox unfortunately. Slow to scan your folder and uses lots of cpu/ram, uses all your upload bandwidth and kills the connection, no delta syncs, no local network syncs, has to reupload the whole file if you move it to a new location, etc.
- jdeibele 12y agoI've also found it the worst at handling temporary connection issues. Dropbox, Box, etc. will start up as soon as they see internet without a problem but Google Drive will just sit there until I quit and restart it.
- roel_v 12y agoSure, and plenty of people are perfectly happy with their Dacias, and there is nothing wrong with that. Cars never became a commodity and never will, even if todays cheapest cars have features the most of expensive ones of just 15 years ago didnt't. Dropbox isn't just 'storage', it's a service that has plenty of options to differentiate.
