This essentially means anyone who could steal data from Google's servers would need two keys to read your data, not just one like in Dropbox. Google takes an extra step by encrypting that key using a second, rotating master key. Once it's in the cloud, both generate a key that's used to decrypt it when you need to access it. Both Google and Dropbox encrypt your data while it's traveling from your computer to their servers. Google is a bit better at securing your data while it's on their servers, though. Dropbox supports all of this (with the exception of one-tap sign-in), and is also taking the lead on passwordless logins through standards such as WebAuthn. Google provides two-factor authentication support, allowing you to secure your account by requiring your choice of SMS, an authenticator app, one-tap sign-in on your phone, a phone call with a code, or even a physical key like the one Google requires all of its employees to use. In this area, both Google and Dropbox made sure all bases were covered. But the files you do upload to the cloud still need protection. The only surefire way to keep your files safe from attackers is to avoid storing them in the cloud to begin with. Google Drive has a slight edge on security

With Google Drive, a file on Computer A will have to upload to the web, then download to Computer B, which can take longer for larger files. It will still back up files to the cloud, but transferring large files to computers on the same network will happen a lot faster. If you have multiple computers connected to a single network, Dropbox will sync files directly between them. Google doesn't use block-level file copying, but it does run some of the fastest cloud servers in the world, so the speed difference might not be noticeable unless you're dealing with very large files.ĭropbox also has a unique advantage with LAN sync.

The first time you sync a file will take the longest, but every time you change it after that, the updated version should be available on all your devices almost immediately. To put it simply, when Dropbox syncs a file, it only copies the bits that have changed. Part of what made Dropbox so popular in the first place was the innovative technology it uses for file sync: block-level file copying. The pricing is slightly higher but could make sense for you if you already use these apps and aren't looking for just raw storage. That will get you more features for Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Sites (among others), but it also means more features and storage space for Google Drive. The other option is to subscribe to Google Workspace. Another cool perk is the fact that you can share your storage from the $1.99/month Google One plan with up to six people (including you), whereas you'd have to get a Family plan on Dropbox ($19.99/month) to be able to do the same.

In addition to storage, Google One gives you some extras like access to Google One VPN for Android and cash back on Google Store purchases. Google also offers smaller, cheaper plans: you can get 100GB for $1.99/month (or $19.99/year), or 200GB for $2.99/month (or $29.99/year).

Using Google One, you can get 2TB of storage for the same price as Dropbox's 2TB annual plan when paying monthly (though you'll save a few bucks going with Google on the annual plan). With Google Drive, there are two options: you can purchase storage via a Google One subscription or a Google Workspace subscription. Dropbox's paid plans start at $11.99 per month-or $9.99 per month, if you pay annually-for 2 TB of storage.
