This short review looks at three of the most popular cloud storage options, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive, comparing their storage capacity, file-sharing capabilities, and pricing.<\/p>\n<p>All three of these cloud storage solutions offer various plans for both personal and business use. OneDrive and Google Drive also have options to bundle cloud storage along with access to online versions of standard office applications. In this review, we will look only at the lower-priced standalone cloud storage business solutions available from OneDrive and Dropbox and the Business and Enterprise solutions from Google Drive that do include access to GSuite applications.<\/p>\n<h3>OneDrive from Microsoft<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/p\/?LinkId=786655\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OneDrive<\/a>\u00a0has two tiers of dedicated cloud storage. Plan 1 costs $60 a year and gives you 1 TB of cloud storage. You can opt for Plan 2 at $120 per year if your business has five or more users, and you need unlimited storage. OneDrive does not offer per month pricing. There is a 15 GB limit per individual file.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to collaboration, OneDrive shines. It is easy to access stored files directly from the Microsoft ecosystem of products, or use the built-in search and discovery tools to find the files you need. Share individual files securely with a link and set permissions to prevent unauthorized changes. Plan 2 also comes with upgraded security, including data-loss prevention, to help you to monitor and protect your confidential information.<\/p>\n<h3>Dropbox<\/h3>\n<p>Businesses with three or more users can choose either the Standard or Advanced business plan from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dropbox<\/a>. The Standard plan comes with 3 TB of cloud storage and costs $150 a year or $15 monthly. The Advanced plan is $240 a year, or $25 monthly. With a file transfer limit of only 2 GB per file, Dropbox\u2019s Standard plan may not fit your needs, but its Advanced plan does allow up to 100 GB transfers.<\/p>\n<p>Many, but not all, popular business applications are already configured to connect with Dropbox. Users have the option to share files through a secure link or to use Dropbox Spaces to allow other employees access. Administrators can create private groups for members to share their work.<\/p>\n<h3>Google Drive<\/h3>\n<p>Google Drive offers a Business plan for $12 a month and an Enterprise Plan for $25 a month. Both come with only 1 TB of storage unless you maintain five licenses. Then you receive unlimited storage. The maximum size of an individual file is 5 TB.<\/p>\n<p>Both plans let you share files with links, and admins can set security controls to manage file permissions. The Enterprise plan offers data loss protection and improved security options.<\/p>\n<p>For most businesses, OneDrive makes the most sense. It is already optimized to work with the Microsoft applications you probably already use. The only major drawback is the 15 TB limitation on file transfers, but this restriction won\u2019t affect most businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t Be Confused When It Comes to Cloud Storage Options Cloud storage helps your employees share and collaborate like never before.
