I’m curious how many people use one of these services. I myself use both, but none of my friends use either currently. One thing I like to do is to take a lot of photos and then upload to my storage account for use later. They do give a lot of free storage without having sign up for anything in terms of a subscription, the rates of subscription aren’t too shabby. I don’t intend to subscribe to either.

Google drive is champion cause dropbox wants charge at this time. But google drive always free with 25 gb storage space capability. So, use google drive. Wink

As far as I understood, Dropbox was completely free to use on a mobile device. They do charge you if you want more storage space, but they do give you a generous storage capacity right off the bat. If memory serves me right you can also get extra capacity permanently added to your account by referring people to sign up for it.

I have them both on my phone, but I rarely use them, I don’t recall Dropbox asking for charge, maybe because I don’t use a big storage space?!

I have Dropbox and Google Drive installed in my phone. My photos are automatically uploaded to Dropbox but I’m thinking of putting the files in Google Drive too. Hubby uses Google Drive because it has much bigger storage space compared with Dropbox.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that Dropbox has begun to have a few issues on my phone. Not quite sure why they’ve not been keeping it as compatible as they used to.

I use both, but so far Google Drive seems more practical, since it has the ability to edit your documents, while on Dropbox you can upload and archive

A reliable solution could be One Drive too, based on the similar editing option
