We have n’t had the chance to put Google Drive through the wringer quite yet , but we can compare it to the competition on paper .
The verdict ? Not too shabby .
The chart below shows off the feature , pricing , and highlight of the major participant in swarm store right now — the family Google is taking aim at with Drive . Dropbox is the standard toter , but Microsoft ’s SkyDrive , Apple ’s iCloud , and upstart Box have all got something to proffer :
SkyDrive is presently the best overall economic value , offering up 27 gigs of storage for $ 10 a year . But Google Drive is the right way behind Microsoft , offering the same amount for $ 30 a year .
iCloud is the best at seamlessly mix with Io for backups of life-sustaining info . But Google Drive offers more flexlibility as to how you may access and manage your storage infinite .
Dropbox is available on more mobile program , as is Box , but neither have the same level of collaborative document redaction tools that Google Drive does .
Overall , Google Drive hits a angelical spot between value and tractability . It ’s not the flash or most comprehensive , but it appears to cover the spacious swath of features people want . We ’ll see how it does in natural process soon enough . For now , though , it expect like your skillful bet .
