We think Microsoft OneDrive is the best cloud storage platform for businesses (Image credit: Microsoft) These subscriptions also provide access to the respective company’s full range of productivity and communication apps, making Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive much better value than Dropbox.

It is also important to remember that Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are not just cloud storage solutions. So no matter whether you want a barebones business product or a comprehensive, all-in-one solution, it is Microsoft OneDrive that provides the best value for money. The entry-level Microsoft 365 subscription costs $5 per user a month, compared to $6 for Google Workspace (opens in new tab), and $10 for Dropbox.

In terms of entry-level subscriptions, it is Microsoft that again impresses. Its top plan for businesses costs $12.50 per user a month, compared to $15 for Dropbox (opens in new tab) and $18.50 for Google (opens in new tab). Microsoft’s products are not only the highest quality but also the most affordable (Image credit: Microsoft)Īlthough each of the three providers' plans are similarly priced, Microsoft (opens in new tab) offers the best value for money. No matter the operating system, whether it be iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android, or Windows, OneDrive is a responsive, well-designed, and powerful platform that will handle all your uploads and downloads with ease. OneDrive, however, is the superior platform in terms of mobile and desktop apps. At the same time, Google’s desktop and mobile apps have come a long way in recent years, and can now claim to be on-par with Dropbox and Microsoft’s offerings. This is because it has always been a platform designed for the web, and is where users will be most familiar with the platform. When it comes to web app access, we give Google Drive a slight edge. Throughout our extensive use of each platform, we had no major performance issues to report. Each provider has built impressive apps for a range of operating systems, with straightforward yet feature-rich interfaces.

Performance is another category in which it is difficult to determine a clear winner. Google’s desktop clients are reliable and responsive (Image credit: Google)
