Difference between Dropbox and Google Drive
Dropbox is a kind of cloud storage where you can upload and store different types of files to keep them a little safer in case something bad happens to your computer and you want to restore them back.
I have already known this service even before although I haven’t tried using it yet and it is similar to HotLinkFiles.com which was infiltrated some years passed which I think led to its closure. I assume that it is already closed since I can no longer access the original URL.
Dropbox is operated and maintained by Dropbox, Inc. that provides free file hosting service, file synchronization, cloud storage, and client software. For free accounts, a user is given 2 GB of free cloud storage space but a user is forbidden to upload any indecent or pornographic material. You may visit Dropbox Terms of Service Acceptable Use for the complete information on the service’s Terms of Service.
Google Drive is similar to Dropbox in terms of cloud storage, synchronization, and client software. The difference is that, in Google Drive, a user that uses a free account can start using the service with a total of 5 GB of free cloud space which is a lot bigger compared to what Dropbox offers. Dropbox supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Smartphones while Google Drive works on PC, Mac OS X, Android devices, iPhones, and iPads.
