Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive are the most popular cloud storage providers today. Picking between them to determine which one is the best cloud storage provider is no easy task. Each has strengths and weaknesses that don’t always overlap.
Though we side with OneDrive, with multiple caveats, new readers of Cloudwards.net might be surprised to learn that none of the three finish atop our cloud storage comparisonrankings. The main reason for that is a flaw they all share: security.
We much prefer cloud providers that offer private, end-to-end encryption, such as those in our review of the best zero-knowledge cloud services.
That said, we don’t deny that there are benefits to using Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDriveover the bulk of cloud storage providers, with most relating to productivity. As much as we laud Sync.com as a provider for its impregnable security, that security means image previews, media streaming and document editing are out of play.
The question of which of the three kings of cloud storage reigns supreme is an important one. It’s PC or Mac, Beatles or Rolling Stones and boxers or briefs important. When in doubt about whether one software-as-a-service provider is better than another, here at Cloudwards.net, we prefer a tried-and-true method of picking a winner: trial by combat.
Send the children to bed, because this three-way gladiatorial match is your front-row seat to a display of virtual carnage that will put the war for net neutrality to shame, and will help you decide whether Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive is best for your file-hosting needs.
The Battle: Dropbox versus Google Drive versus OneDrive
By the numbers, Google Drive has the advantage. In early 2017, the company announced it had passed 800 million monthly active users. By now, it’s probably the first cloud storage service to have passed the one billion mark.
Dropbox, once the leader in active users, last reported 500 million registered users. Of those, 11 million are paying users, including 300,000 business subscription customers (read our Dropbox Business review).
OneDrive, meanwhile serves a measly 115 million users worldwide. Then again, it’s reported that over 85 percent of Fortune 500 companies use OneDrive, which isn’t surprising given the popularity of Office 365.
Numbers aren’t everything, though. Each of the three tech giants has taken a different approach to marketing and developing their storage service, helping to define the cloud storage market along the way. Which one works best for you will depend on which approach aligns most with your needs.
We’ve broken our battle into five rounds to help you figure that out. After each round, we’ll rank each service and give two points to the winner, one point to the runner-up and a fat zero for last place. At the end of our article, we’ll tally the points and present our pick for the best of the three.
