Mostly Yes and sometimes no. I agree shouldn't use 365 and Workspace together (that's just a nightmare). However, we use 365 and Dropbox and there isn't any added complexity. We have Dropbox added as an Enterprise App for SSO and licensing. Group-based authentication in Entra ID for authentication to Dropbox. So management is really rather easy. You'd think that would cost more, but actually, it would not. We have specific storage needs (very high requirements) and Sharepoint Add-on Storage is eye-watering expensive.
@@talalgous1318 Yes dropbox is £18 per user per month and a minimum of 3 users 15TB to start with. And if you go beyond 3 users then it is an extra 5TB per user. Sharepoint gives you 1TB plus an extra 10GB per license. to add more storage to sharepoint it is $0.20 per gb. To get 15tb of storage that is an extra $2800 a month. Or just for an extra 1tb $200.If you have high storage requirements, then it is cheaper going with Dropbox
The stereotype I saw quite a bit was M365 for all then marketing thought Google was better so they'd have their own shadow IT and the higherups were spineless so let them have it like spoiled children.
Exactly. My past company i worked for used microsoft 365 and Google Suite. It was a mess.
