Which Cloud Service? iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Other?

[dmk1974]

I use a mixture of iCloud and OneDrive. While I have a Dropbox account, its mostly dormant at this point. I get a full terabyte of storage with OneDrive vs. the 9GB of free storage I get with Dropbox. Dropbox is faster and does offer more imo, but I'm finding OneDrive to be adequate.

I think if Onedrive was as fast as Dropbox, I'd switch over to that as my primary.

It really is crazy how much faster Dropbox is than some other services. I uploaded a few files on my phone today, and almost before the animation was done they'd show up in Explorer on my computer. With OneDrive it takes minutes if not hours.

I just got a year of unlimited amazon for 5 dollars for black friday. It seems to work good, just using it for backup.

Sorry for the off topic post, are you on the Rivals football forum at all? The reason I ask is that there is an NIU grad with the same avatar as you over there.

As most people here have stated, I use a mixture. Dropbox has been my go to since... 2011 I believe but I'm trying to switch over to using OneDrive more due to the massive amount of space available. The only problem is the IT department at my work is, ahem, somewhat behind the times and might very well give me a blank stare if I talk to them about OneDrive, whereas they've at least heard of Dropbox.

iCloud Drive has been crippled for years because it doesn't play nice with anything? Only recently (since moving fully to Mac, office computer excepted) have I been able to get full access to iCloud as a folder similar to Dropbox, but it's space is limited and I dunno why in the world I'd use it for anything other than syncing contacts and backups.

I use OneDrive because of Office 365. Great deal and speed is fast too. I find it checks for syncing too frequently Dropbox seems better in that regard.

It depends on whether I have an Office 365 subscription because if I did (which I do) then I'd go with OneDrive since I automatically get 1TB of storage right off the bat. If I didn't have Office 365 then I'd go for Google but then again I'd want to also have an Android phone because of the integration is better between Android and Google where as the iPhone integrates well with iCloud. It really comes down to what you want to do.
