However, Google Drive’s office suite, known as Google Docs, Forms, Drawings, Sheets, and Slides, is still better for editing documents than Dropbox. While Dropbox’s lowest cloud storage option is 2TB, Google Drive offers storage as low as 100GB for $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year, saving you 16% when you pay yearly. Dropbox offers 2TB of cloud storage for $119.88 per year (no monthly payment option), and Google Drive offers 2TB of cloud storage for $99.99 per year or $9.99 per month, totaling $119.88 per year. The annual subscription pricing for Dropbox and Google Drive are similar. The maximum storage amount that the free version of Dropbox can have is 16 GB, so 28 referrals on top of your starting storage will get you there. Each referral that signs up for Dropbox will give you an additional 500 MB, and switching on automatic photo upload expands storage by 3GB. So in that respect, Google Drive certainly offers better value but Dropbox users can gain extra free storage based on the options available to them. Google Drive provides 15GB of free storage for personal use, compared with Dropbox 2GB.

Both cloud storage providers offer free storage.

Firstly, it’s worth noting how Google Drive and Dropbox account subscriptions compare.
