My point is I now have more space than I know what to do with (actually thats a lie, I’ve been using Google Drive to replace my 3 external hard drives, something I will cover in a future post – Post now live – check it out here).
My second computer, a Macbook Air has even less storage space, 128GB total, so I can barely fit any of my files on that computer. So really I have about 350GB capacity on my PC that I can sync with Google Drive. This number is false however since Operating System and Application files take up a bunch of space that I don’t need to back up. My main computer has a 500GB SSD and a 750GB HDD drive, for a total of 1.25 TB, but neither Google Drive or Dropbox let you split your folder across drives, so I was basically restricted to a maximum of 500GB on my main drive. Really want to know why Google Drive is better?Ĭheck out this bonus content: 25 Google Drive Tips you’ve Probably Never Heard of StorageĪs mentioned above, I got 10x more storage with Google for the same price, a massive 1TB.
While price was originally a key deciding factor for me, the extra benefits I got from moving to Drive still made it worthwhile. Update 01/09/14: Dropbox in an aggressive move has dropped its prices to match Google Drive, now offering 1TB for $10. Both 100GB plans, $1.99 a month for Google drive and $9.99 a month for Dropbox. Up until a few weeks ago I was paying for premium plans for both Google Drive and Dropbox. Making it easy to backup and access your files from anywhere. In this post I’ll explain why I did it and some cool unexpected benefits that came from the move and give you a rundown of Dropbox vs Google Drive.ĭropbox and Google Drive are file storage services that sync files between a folder on your device(s) and the cloud. I recently hit the limit on my 100GB Dropbox account and after a bit of research decided to make the move from Dropbox to Google Drive.
