Dropbox vs Google Docs
When it comes to simple, pain-free cloud storage, Dropbox has risen to the top of the heap. For years I’ve used my free 3GBs of space from Dropbox between my laptop, Android phone, and business desktop, and recently my new HP Touchpad. The only problem has been the amount of free storage. 3GBs doesn’t go very far these days, but to jump up to the next level (50GBs) it takes a subscription of $10/month, or $120/year.
Admittedly, that’s a LOT of cloud storage for only $120/year, and the service works great. But I’ve never been able to make the jump with a price that high. Call me cheap.
But as my life becomes more mobile, and my devices varied, I felt like the time had come to search out a more affordable path to a cloud existence. I calculate my “net data” to be around 100GB including my music, movie, and photo collections, and to have those items available on the go, at the office, or anywhere else for that matter is the next logical step.
