Dropbox

Dropbox

File sync and sharing across devices and teams

CompanyDropbox
Since2008
PricingPaid

Dropbox made file sync boring in the best sense: a folder that is the same everywhere, with conflict handling that mostly does the right thing. Two decades on, the sync engine is still the part competitors struggle to match.

Google Drive

Google Drive

Storage and document collaboration inside Workspace

CompanyGoogle
Since2012
PricingPaid

Google Drive is storage with an office suite attached, and the suite is the reason most organisations are on it. Docs, Sheets, and Slides collaborate in real time well enough that the underlying file storage barely gets thought about.
