You can categorize your files in folders for both apps and see what they look like straight from your phone or computer. I’m used to the Google Drive layout, but I used to use SkyDrive and actually enjoy the clean simplicity. The interfaces for both apps are actually quite similar. This is comparable to Dropbox’s offering for storage. They both give the same amount of free storage, but Google Drive comes out on top again with as much as a terabyte for a paid plan. Since Google Drive lets you upload files up to 10GB in size it’s a clear winner over the 2GB restriction from OneDrive. That said, if you don’t need that much storage, Google Drive and OneDrive are suitable alternatives.

Max File Sizes and Storage Interface– Google Drive Winsĭropbox reigns supreme for power users who really want to upload large files and store up to a terabyte of files. Google Drive still comes out on top for this battle, since OneDrive is severely lacking in terms of its overall storage options, and a 2GB upload restriction is quite laughable. The interfaces are quite intuitive from both apps, and if you purchase a Chromebook or Windows computer then you can integrate directly into the storage systems. Since both Google Drive and OneDrive both offer online document editor suites they kind of even out on that front. Since you can only upload files as big as 2GB it leaves much to be desired. It’s also lacking with its file size restrictions. 200GB is quite a bit, but I know plenty of people who need more than this. OneDrive fails to provide large storage options for power users.

You also can’t earn additional free storage with the Google service. Google Drive only lets you upload files that are smaller than 10GB. It also offers two paid plans, one with 100GB and the other with 200GB, at $2 and $4 per month, respectively.

A plus for OneDrive is that you can earn additional storage space through various different ways.
