- The ultimate shootout between Dropbox and Google Drive.
Steve takes on the toughest question of all if you only had to choose one which would you choose!
Dropbox - db.tt/YoejcTP
Google Drive - drive.google.com/#my-drive
Both filesharing systems have exceptional value, are easy to use, and have massive user basis. But there are several significant differences. Steve explores those differences and explains what they mean to you.

The video is as clear as anyone would want.
Great stuff.
Thanks.
Steve, great job. This is the second video of yours that I have watched and I like your professional style and quality.
Great video Steve! I totally agree with your assessment and conclusion.
Very well done - dottotech has a pleasant delivery on a tough subject. A+ for me!
I Added a note to the video, as Google has dropped the pricing on Drive,
$1.99f for 100GB, a big drop$9.99 for a TB
Kind of kicks Dropbox to the curb if you are paying!
in the note says 100 Mb for 1.99 not Gb... just letting you know
Fixed now! Thanks
Have you ever tried Mega mega.co.nz/#info
No I have not Hammie1981 looks interesting
dottotech
I don't use Mega because it is made by Kim Dotcom, the founder of Megaupload, which was taken down because of copyright issues.
Thank you ! Very excellent expert video ! I am enthusiastic about your diplomacy and expressions in finding the dot in tech .
Thank you for this info, I am going to watch all the tutorials.
One thing you don't show... Dropbox allows you to selective sync individual folders throughout your folder tree. Google Drive only allows you to selective sync the top level folders (which syncs all the subfolders below it). So, for example, if your Top Level folder says "Photos" and below that you have Sub-Folders by year (2014, 2013, 2012, etc), in Google Drive you can only share all photos or none. In Dropbox I could select one specific year and have it ignore the others. I like feature in Dropbox that because I want to keep all my photos under the "photos" folder but I only want the 2014 photos on my computer. This is the SOLE reason why I have selected Dropbox. Otherwise, I'd select Google Drive.

Thank you so much for this video. The "which one should I choose" problem is a big one, with all the services and choices today.
Another one I would love to see is a video about Evernote vs MS Onenote. There is a tough choice to. Both is very good, and since I moved to Evernote I still miss some things in Onenote and vice versa.
Steve, I stumbled onto your channel. Your presentation, quality of content, and obvious experience is highly appreciated. I remain amazed at the level of motivation and willingness to create and share this type of content. Thank you for your contributions.
Lance McGrew Thanks Lance! This channel has grown into a great community already, I get as much out of it as I put in! Glad you are part of it!
dottotech I can't agree more Lance! I've learned sooooo much since re-discovering Steve from his TV days:)
121GigawattsEh :-)
Great comparison. I always get alot out of your vid's. Thanks!
Another great video! Thanks for clearing up the comparison for me. I have both free drives, but I haven't really tapped into their functionality yet. That's going to change now. Good work and cheers to you 🍺!
Steve is extremely good in explaining things such as the difference between drop box and google. It is nice to have some one who talks in away that even a 72 year old understands and feels more like enjoying all the new electronic. Thanks Steve
It is a pleasure +Rita Irene It warms my heart hearing that!
its good to see that youtubers are not just 20-somethings.. As much as i do enjoy my gaming channels i want to say that i liked this vid, and also subbed your channel. videos laid out in a very neat format and simple enough for a beginner to understand. Thumbs up and keep them coming DottoTech ! :D
Thank You +Wade Jenson Us Baby Boomers need RUclips as as well!
The fact that you are funny and lively made this 12 minutes video actually watchable and I learned a lot from it. Cheers from Brazil!
Jp Jacobsen I am glad you liked it!
I am sxo excited about how much mzore I understand this process. It is so helpful and I never had a clue how useful this would be for not only my business but for multiple other things in my everyday life. Thanks. Shelley ; owner of Impulsive Image.
Dropbox advantage: Videolan for ipad works with both Dropbox and Google Drive. While the latter displays all your videos alphabetically, it is unable to display the folders they sit in. Dropbox does, and beautifully so, I might say.
Great video! Gives all the basic information one would need.
Great video! I'm sending this to some clients who are still not using cloud storage to educate them on the best options.
Thank you, you have helped me make an informed decision.
Great review. Now I need to consider Evernote too for my new scanner that will sync with all three products.
While I probably will stick with dropbox, I find this video very entertaining and informing. Subscribed.
Clear and honest comparison, thanks. Been in doubt between using Dropbox and Google Drive, but this helps.
Thank you so much for sharing, feeling a lot more confident navigating Dropbox better as well as Google Drive.
Great review and as a Free Dropbox user, I nearly signed up for the 1Tb Google Drive account...but...Google Drive (and MS OneDrive for that matter) neglect (so far) to do just one essential thing I need from a cloud storage storage provider that Dropbox actually does: to selectively sync SUBFOLDERS! I'm sure Google & MS will catch up with this feature one day but until then, Dropbox have my money.
Good review.
To me, they're two different animals. Dropbox is great for backups, iOS integration with other apps, and their public URL can't be beat. I use their iPad client all the time for reviewing documents, giving presentations, and uploading and archiving all my iOS pictures. Dropbox also has iterative backups. This means I can go back to a version I uploaded a month ago and find it.
Google Drive has the best collaboration apps available anywhere.
In my workflow, you need both.
Thanks Chipp Walters Great overview!
Chipp Walters .... on point 👍
I'm paying for 100GB on GDrive right now, but I'm going to choose Dropbox Pro with 1TB instead. Dropbox is simply more robust than GDrive. When we change proxys or the internet disconnects, the Dropbox client responds much quicker, while the GDrive client stalls. Also, when using auto-upload from my phone, the photos in GDrive end up in Google Photos, but in the desktop I can't find a way to organize them in folders easily. In Dropbox it's really easy. I'm a Picasa / G+ Photos user for many years, but as far as I tried, Dropbox also has some really nice tools for photos and videos.
Thank you! A very articulate and informative video.
THANK YOU!!! I teach in a Homeschool co-op and have just been trying to determine the difference between these two things. Your video made so much sense!
Glad I could help
Steve, very good video. Thanks. I shall be looking for more of your videos. Like the style
welcome aboard
Awesome advice all around! Thank you:)
Thank you for this video. It is a big help to me.
+Dave Otey Glad to hear it!
I use folder sync to backup full resolution photos to GDrive and let Google+ auto backup smaller resolution for web sharing (standard 2048px). Also use Folder sync to auto backup instagram photos to Gdrive. However, looking into see what Carousel from drop box is all about.
Good explanation Dotto!! Me from Dominican Republic. I think so. The easy Sharing feature of droppbox is incredible, but the plus tools end the search feature of GDrive is Excellent!!
Thank You !!! Your presentation is awesome !!!
Thank you! Short, simple, yet very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing!
Nice review of both services. Just some things that I learned from using both:
1. Google Drive does not have a Linux client as yet but Dropbox does. This may not be an issue for some people but it was a problem for me and I am still waiting for them to add Linux support.
2. Google Drive allows you to easily revise who can edit, download or view a file after you have shared it.
3. Google Drive ties in nicely with Gmail allowing you to attach a Drive file to an email.
Great points, I was not aware there was no client yet for Linux.
awesome job sir. that free word spreadsheet etc sold me. i didn't know that prior to this video. thanks a bunch.
So informative, thanks a lot!
can't believe this show is still going. I remember watching it on canadain cable wayyy back in the day lol
Meekal Boone Cable? CABLE? we were network all the way!
very nice and straight forward thanks
Steve cleared up exactly what I'm trying to find out. As a real estate agent, I have a bunch of folders on my server filled with info on listings, former listings, prospects, and client information. I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to upload it all to Drive, Dropbox, or Evernote.
Thanks to Steve, I'll use Google Drive as my main storage area with templates for mailmerge and all the rest. Then I'll set up individual acttive listing/ active client folders to share the info I've gathered on an individual or property. I doubt if I'll even need more than the 3 or 4 gig of free storage I've already got with Dropbox, but since I can get 500 K more with everyone I get to sign up to Dropbox and since it is the main way of keeping open communications with customers and clients, I think I'll easily keep ahead of space problems. Especially if I remove the folder when each deal is finished.
***** Sounds to me like you have a plan! And it sounds like a good one.
Steve, thanks for a the great information
Great comparison. Clear and concise. Thanks.
You are most welcome!
I used Dropbox mainly, but switched to Drive a while ago. Two things that Dropbox do better is, each file in Dropbox is backed up. so even if you overwrite or delete. you can get it back through the web. Second is that dropbpx is more widespread and supported in third party applications, it is also has native clients on more places. For example linux.
Good points Brian Levinsen
dottotech you forgot to mention, Google Docs data does not count towards your quotea.
Good catch Fredrik Linnander I did not mention that and it is a big plus for Google Drive!
Yes! Even this app runs well on many Smart Phones OS Brian Levinsen
In 2018 EVERYTHING on Drive is not only backed up, every change to every Google Docs file on Drive is backed up.
Very helpful. Many thanks.
Great job. Learnt a lot.
I just thought its worth mentioning if you cancel the drive subscription im assuming everthing would be lost on drive or would it appear again on renewal of subscription???. I hope this is not a dumb post
I wish that Google Drive could sync with my phone as easily as Dropbox without having to use another app to do it. Thanks for video.
While Google Drive beats Dropbox on the price. Dropbox far outshines it with respect to syncing speed and the computer resources it uses. If your just using the free account this most likely makes no difference BUT if you have a lot of data to sync then Dropbox is far superior. I needed to sync about 100 Gigs and started with Google Drive. It took forever and Gdrive continuously ran and used about 50$ of my computer resources, so it really slowed down my computer. I switched to Dropbox and moved my files and folders from GDrive to Dropbox and the difference is amazing. Dropbox uses practically no resources and it's syncing speed far outshines GDrive. I suggest you do a search for sync speed and Google Drive and you will find all kinds of people who gave up on Gdrive because of the speed and the effect it had on there computer.
Great review but what is the desktop app to download to display Dropbox and Google Drive as folders?
thanks. it was good comparison. also I totally agree with your conclusion
I keep finding gems on your page. Thanks for the information. I just downloaded Google Drive as a back up to my files and pics besides my external storage. Thanks Steve!
+David Leon Great to hear that David, thanks for sharing!
thank you so much for the info. :-)
Even in 2018 this video proves useful and relevant to me. This guy is lightyears ahead of his time.
thank you for your review it was very imformative.
Hello Steve Dotto
With your help and fun tech presentations I am beginning to feel like I am understanding. This ever expanding world of media and computing.
Thank you
Tracey
That is awesome! Glad we are helping!
Excellent, thanks. 3 questions: 1st how do I install Drive on my imac? 2nd, if I install google drive on my computer is it also installing Google Photos on my computer or is that a different process? 3rd, how do I save a document to both my computer and drive instead of having it only in the cloud?
Thanks again
Thanks Steve you are Awesome!
Steve,....admire your honesty. Thanks for the straight up approach. I give you 2 thumbs up my friend. I have used Dropbox and it seems easy enough. Now I will explore Google Drive. Thank You Again !!!
Thanks +Gary Jones I appreciate the kind words.
Love your channel Dotto!
Great stuff, thanks!
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing your point of view. I heard you say you use both options. I'm quite a fan of that set-up too. However, do you make certain distinctions between which you upload on Dropbox and which on Drive? Again, great video!
I completely agree with your entire synopsis.I also use both Google Drive and Dropbox but for some reason which I cannot explain, I prefer using Dropbox so that is my main online storage.
The fact that Dropbox also gives free storage for signing onto your account from select mobile devices is also a big win for me cos it greatly extends the free space you have available. Many apps also support Dropbox and not Google Drive so that also adds convenience somewhat ;)
Thanks for the input tosinis earning free space seems to be something of a sport these days!
very useful tips thanks
Best way to share with Google Drive is to download the document and drag to wherever you need it to go...Sharing especially when the person you have to share with and they need to share with another can be a pain in the butt.
very good!! congratulations!!!
Hi Steve
After failure of a Seagate GoFlex BackUp Drive & total lack of any kind of support from them I have been looking for free online backup programs simply to backup my documents, photographs & music collection & have already downloaded DropBox & backed up my Documents (63Mb). After finding out that the photographs take up 5Gb & Music collection a further 27Gb, I have been looking for other free backup programs & did download Mega which has 50Gb of storage but could not get it to work. So I was quite pleased to find your most informative U-Tube video comparing Dropbox & Googlebox. I intend to use other programs One Drive (15Gb) & pCloud (10Gb) to back up the music collection after a bit of trimming & splitting files & then thanks to your video Googlebox for the pictures & the cut down versions of Office Products. Thanks again
Allan Edlington Sorry to hear of your crashes, I would caution you that I really don't consider Drive or Dropbox to be complete BackUp solutions, and even though you have had a bad experience please still use a local backups drive!
Great video!! Can't wait for next weeks'a video :D
is it possible to move everything from Dropbox to Google Drive and if so How thank You
Thanks. Got a question: is there a way to download links/shortcuts instead of my entire Google Drive? I have 13GB of files on my GD but I don't want it to download the files onto my computer. just the shortcuts. is that possible? thanks
If I correctly understand what you're saying around 6:10, you say that the more you sync, the more you use out of your quota.
Per my understanding, that does not affect your usage. What you have on the "Google Drive" is what you have, the only difference is whether I see it as a local folder on my hard drive.
For example, say that in my Google Drive I have "Vacation 2013" folder, that I want to make available for offline on my home computer only, and "Invoices" that I want to make available for offline on my office computer, I will sync them accordingly. The fact that I sync some folders with some computers and other folders with other computers does not change the fact that on the "Google Drive" itself all of them are counted as part of my used space.
Correct me if I misunderstood something.
Thank you!
Well presented with excellent content
Excellent video
Great comparison on just two of the really great doc share options doing the rounds at the moment. I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung throws a lot of support to Evernote with its S Note app which can only sync with Evernote or Samsung's own servers.
I was kinda bummed out by this at first but it has re-introduced me to Evernote again. Personally I find Google Drive to be invincible in this department but Evernote does boast it's own winning features too.
Thanks so much for the wealth of knowledge that you've supplied us with. I am currently helping a friend set up her new business ventures Webpage and Blog and I have used G Drive for everything from the Graphics and visual's for social media to the mail merges and Client diary synch to her android tablet! It's a fantastic product with the office package being able to convert outside documents coming in too! I really must thank you again for the fantastically open and easy to understand media you're sharing ... You've just saved us a whole load of misunderstood options and we feel quite enabled and equipped!
+Amanda Magee That is great news! Thanks for sharing and good luck to your friend!
thanks for the comparison. very beneficial!
You are most welcome M Aydın
Thank you Steve, This video was very informative.
Melissa Kelly I am glad you liked it!
Thank you for your clear explanation it is very helpfull. I immediately subscribed!
maximariska Glad to have you aboard!
Great job in the video, as usual!
I am using Google drive but I'm having difficulty syncing it back to the folder I uploaded it from. Do I have to put my office network
I just downloaded the Google Drive Mac App and you can share directly from your Google Drive folder. Go to your file, highlight, and then two finger click on the track pad. Then go to the Google Drive option and share. No need to go to Web. Currently moving my files from Dropbox to Google Drive!!
Thanks Jason, Google has added that since I recorded the video. Best of luck in the migration!
Great video your a very good teacher of tech!
how did you download the icons to your desktop or labtop for google drive? and how did you put it in the favorites?
Great source of info
Awesome info, thanks so much for doing this!!! It helps all the people who don´t understand much aout this!!
Glad you like it rafajaimes523 THere are SO many options out there, but these are 2 of the best.
This was very useful
Very engaging and crystal clear. Like this presentation a lot.
Thanks
Glad to hear it Linda Newstrom-Lloyd
Good job man!
I have both, actually I have three, One Drive (Skydrive), Dropbox, and Google Drive. Dropbox will give you more data if you use the online website and click on share more space. I add to at least two computer, two tablets and my phone so I go 100GB for free for a year. Now I got 48GB left for a year. Plus with Dropbox you can share files and folders with others. I save a few digital files with my family that are 2-3GB in size.
Thanks Steve! your video helped me take a decision :-)
Vanessa Béchard Glad to hear it Vanessa!
Awesome, tks!
THAT WAS FANTASTIC, THANK YOU!
kristen Forsythe I appreciate that Kristen! Gald you liked the video!

Thanks Ronnie!
Great video... if one was to move from Dropbox to google, how and what would be the easiest way to migrate everything?
Great thank you
Thumbs up, i like the way you describe things, keep it up... subscribed!!!
Rauf Azeez Welcome aboard
Amazing, just answered what I've been looking for!
