Speaking of articles on The Verge, the site has posted a great head-to-head of various cloud storage services.
I’m a paying user of Dropbox, and it really has become a core component of how I work. I have multiple Macs and two iOS devices, and Dropbox (more and more, it seems) is the glue I use to keep them together.
iCloud’s document syncing hasn’t changed that for me, and I’m not sure if it will any time soon. I much prefer having folders and sub-folders over iCloud’s data-in-the-app approach.
Google Drive is much more like Dropbox than iCloud in this respect. It shares a local folder with the web. Where Google Drive stands out is the Google Docs front-end for web-editing. No one else can really do that.
I have no doubt Google Drive will be successful among those users already elbow-deep in the Google ecosystem, but it doesn’t do much for me.
