The long, unanswered questions that many writers and presenters often ask: Should I use SkyDrive, or Google Drive? Which one is better? Well, now I am going to answer your questions, going over the pros and cons of both cloud storages, and let you decide which one is better, as well as my own opinion on the matter. We will be going over some key points such as space, tools, features, and education/other uses in order to decide which is the BEST cloud storage!
Storage:
In storage, both of them have a decent amount of space, yet there is quite a significant difference when you REALLY look at it. Google Drive comes in at top with 17 GB, while SkyDrive tries to rival at with 7 GB. Obviously, it looks like that’s Google Drive: 1, SkyDrive: 0.
Tools:
For tools, I am going to have to have to mark SkyDrive as number 1. Why? Well, even though Google Drive may have some decent-okay tools, such as Google Docs and Google Spreadsheet, SkyDrive on the other hand has one of the best-selling and really professional products such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel! It also has a built in Skype with a long set of other tools useful in everyday life. That is going to make SkyDrive the best in this category, and that is going to make them both even-steven in this race for the best cloud storage
Features:
Google Drive and SkyDrive both have some pretty nice features to get you going and get you in FAST! Google Drive has ALSO just released what they called “New Google Drive”, and SkyDrive has just changed their name to “OneDrive”. However, it is more known by SkyDrive as in the making of this article. Anyways, both are equipped with a search bar to help you find documents easier, except that Google Drive has the ability to view documents more quicker with the fact that it supports almost ANY file type, and you can store almost anything. Whereas SkyDrive takes a bit longer because it supports mostly only file types of its own kind, not really any other small kinds of files. So that is going to put Google Drive in the lead! For now..
Education/Other Uses:
Google Drive has recently came out with two new features, Google Classroom and Google Apps for Education. Both have been HIGHLY recommended by teachers and been recognized constantly, because they let you push documents to your students without all that sharing nonsense, and gives you 30 GB space for all the school work you ever need to put in! In other uses, however, SkyDrive is going to be better quality and more suitable for business and personal reasons because of its online Skype as well as the added tools to make amazing looking documents and presentations.
The Winner!:
Who won? It is for you to decide! Both have their pros and cons. But in my personal opinion, I am in favor of Google Drive. However, this is for you to decide! If you really want a good one, use both! That is already 24 GB of free online space, and many tools and features for you to choose from! Best of all, its free!
