Pohrana^{(Cloud storage)} u oblaku promijenila je svijet računalstva na načine koje nitko nije mogao zamisliti. Za običnog korisnika, to je gotovo u potpunosti uništilo ideju korištenja prijenosnih medija za premještanje podataka između uređaja. Sada možete odložiti jedan uređaj, prijeći na drugi, a zahvaljujući pohrani u oblaku vaši podaci već vas čekaju na svemu što posjedujete. 

S obzirom na to, različiti pružatelji usluga oblaka nisu zamjenjivi. Svaki od njih ima svoje prednosti i nedostatke. Zbog^(Which) toga uspoređujemo Dropbox i Google Drive , dva od najpopularnijih izbora za većinu korisnika.

Dropbox protiv Google diska: što dobivate besplatno^{(Dropbox Vs Google Drive: What You Get For Free)}

Obje ove usluge omogućuju vam da ih koristite besplatno, ali ne nude potpuno istu količinu prostora za pohranu ili značajke ako ne uložite novac. Dropbox Basic nudi vam 2 GB prostora. Ovo je prilično mala količina prostora u današnje vrijeme, ali ako trebate zadržati samo nekoliko malih dokumenata i fotografije umjerene kvalitete, to će biti dovoljno. 

Korisnici Dropbox Basica^{(Dropbox Basic)} također su ograničeni na ukupno tri uređaja. Na primjer, laptop, tablet i pametni telefon. Dropbox također nudi Dropbox Paper , alat za suradnju u oblaku koji vam omogućuje rad na dokumentima i komunikaciju s članovima tima. Tu je i integracija DropBoxa^{(DropBox integration)} za aplikacije poput Microsoft Worda^{(Microsoft Word)} , koja pomaže u praćenju verzija dokumenata uredskih datoteka pohranjenih i dijeljenih putem vašeg Dropboxa^(Dropbox) .

Besplatna verzija Google diska^{(Google Drive)} trenutno nudi 17 GB prostora. To je daleko razumnije za opću upotrebu. Ako spremate samo nekoliko radnih dokumenata i fotografija, vjerojatno će vam ovaj dio prostora za pohranu služiti dugo vremena. Naravno, dobivate i Gmail račun, pristup cijelom paketu Google Drive i vjerojatno najbolji skup alata za online suradnju i dijeljenje od bilo kojeg softverskog servisa u oblaku danas. 

Dakle, ako uglavnom želite pohranu u oblaku kao način neometanog rada s drugima, Google Drive je ovdje već jači konkurent.

Na kraju, puki nedostatak prostora za pohranu DropBox Basic ponude čini je malo više od probne verzije pod drugim imenom. Dakle, ako uopće ne želite potrošiti novac, teško nam je to preporučiti. 

Najbolje stvari o Google disku^{(The Best Things About Google Drive)}

Google disk^{(Google Drive)} je mnogo više od rješenja za pohranu u oblaku. Sam Drive^(Drive) je sjedište koje povezuje sve različite Googleove^(Google) usluge. Vaša Gmail adresa je ključ svega i, naravno, sva vaša pošta zauzima dio prostora za pohranu na vašem disku.

Drive je također okosnica Googleovog paketa aplikacija u oblaku. Google dokumenti^{(Google Docs)} , Google tablice^{(Google Sheets)} i Google slajdovi^{(Google Slides)} tri su važna, ali u ponudi je velik izbor. Kada izradite novi dokument s jednom od ovih aplikacija, on je pohranjen na vašem Google disku^{(Google Drive)} .

U prošlosti je izvanmrežna upotreba i integracija bila značajna slabost za Google disk^{(Google Drive)} , ali zahvaljujući proširenjima preglednika i izvrsnoj aplikaciji za sigurnosno kopiranje i sinkronizaciju^{(Backup and Sync)} , smatramo da su te određene praznine popunjene.

Najbolje stvari o Dropboxu^{(The Best Things About Dropbox)}

Jedna od najvećih prednosti Dropboxa^(Dropbox) je njegova jednostavnost. Ako instalirate aplikaciju Dropbox na stolno računalo, ona djeluje kao jednostavna mapa sustava. Premještanje datoteka u oblak i izvan njega ne razlikuje se od korištenja lokalnog prijenosa datoteka. Također je vrlo lako dobiti veze za dijeljenje i vidjeti koje su datoteke točno sinkronizirane ili ne. 

Sve u svemu, Dropbox jednostavno radi i to je veliki plus u njegovu korist. Međutim, Google Drive je uhvatio korak u posljednjih nekoliko godina. Aplikacija Backup and Sync daje joj zapravo isti oblik i funkciju kao Dropbox .

Ipak, mislimo da je mobilna aplikacija Dropbox mnogo jednostavnija za korištenje i lakša za navigaciju u usporedbi s Google Driveom^{(Google Drive)} . Djelomično zato što Dropbox ima mnogo manji skup funkcija stisnutog u isti prostor. Međutim, vrlo smo impresionirani Dropbox Rewind -om , koji je moćan i intuitivan način za vraćanje promjena na vaš Dropbox koje se dogode slučajno ili zahvaljujući zlonamjernim akterima. 

Google disk^{(Google Drive)} vam također omogućuje vraćanje verzija datoteka i vraćanje izbrisanih stavki iz smeća^(Trash) , ali u trenutku pisanja nema ništa tako dobro kao ovo. 

Usporedba cijena Dropboxa i Google diska^{(Dropbox Vs Google Drive Pricing Compared)}

Iako je lijepo što obje usluge nude besplatnu razinu koju možete isprobati, morat ćete izdvojiti malo novca kako biste izvukli maksimum iz njih. Ovdje se usredotočujemo samo na potrošačke ili pojedinačne opcije, a ne na poslovne ili poslovne proizvode.

Počevši od Dropboxa^(Dropbox) , ovo su najrelevantniji planovi za prosječnog korisnika:

• Dropbox Plus 2TB 9,99 USD mjesečno (naplaćuje se godišnje) ili 12,99 USD mjesečno.
• Dropbox Professional 3TB 16,58 USD mjesečno (naplaćuje se godišnje) ili 19,99 USD mjesečno naplaćeno mjesečno.

Dropbox ne nudi samo različite veličine pohrane između ova dva sloja. Postoje i druge razlike u značajkama. Na primjer, opcija Professional pruža 180 dana premotavanja unatrag, a ne 30, kao s Plus .

S Googleove^(Google) strane, usluga pohrane se zove Google One , a cijene se dijele na sljedeći način:

• 2,99 USD mjesečno: 200 GB
• 9,99 USD mjesečno: 2 TB
• 99,99 USD mjesečno: 10 TB
• 199,99 USD mjesečno: 20 TB
• 299,99 USD mjesečno: 30 TB

Samo planovi od 200 GB i 2TB imaju godišnju opciju, što vam u suštini daje dva mjeseca u godini besplatno. Google nudi bolju ponudu na svakoj razini i nažalost Dropbox nema manje planove. Ovdje moramo dati nagradu Googleu^(Google) , Dropbox jednostavno nije konkurentan u smislu čistog dolara.

Dropbox protiv Google diska: što je za vas?^{(Dropbox Vs Google Drive: Which Is For You?)}

Ako tražite jednostavno, jednostavno rješenje za pohranu u oblaku koje jednostavno djeluje kao tvrdi disk u oblaku, Dropbox je vjerojatno najbolji izbor za vas. Jednostavnija je navigacija i upravljanje vašim datotekama i laka je sinkronizacija datoteka na vašim uređajima. 

Jedan prilično velik problem je nedostatak obiteljskog plana. Google Drive , OneDrive i Apple iCloud nude opcije za dijeljenje skupa pohrane u oblaku među grupom ljudi, kao što je kućanstvo. S obzirom na cijenu pohrane u oblaku, ovo je često najučinkovitije i najekonomičnije. U slučaju Dropboxa^(Dropbox) , morat ćete kupiti zasebne planove za svaku osobu. Što znači da, osim ako ne tražite samo individualni plan, Dropbox brzo postaje preskup.

Teško je, međutim, poreći da je Google polako, ali sigurno sastavio jedno od najsvestranijih rješenja u oblaku opće namjene u obliku Google Drivea^{(Google Drive)} . Uvelike su riješili problem izvanmrežne upotrebe i automatske sinkronizacije datoteka. Današnji Google disk^{(Google Drive)} također je moderniji nego ikad. Kada se upoznate s načinom na koji se stvari rade u zemlji Google Drivea^{(Google Drive)} , to brzo postaje druga priroda.

Osim ako apsolutno ne trebate Dropboxovu superlativnu značajku premotavanja unatrag i druge aspekte koji su više poslovno orijentirani, možemo reći da je za većinu ljudi, većinu vremena, Google Drive bolja opća opcija.

Dropbox Vs Google Drive: How To Choose The One For You

Cloud storage has changed the world of computing in ways no one could have imagined. For the regular user, it’s almost entirely killed the idea of using portable media to move data between devices. Now you can put down one device, move over to another, and thanks to cloud storage your data is already waiting for you on everything you own. 

That being said, different cloud providers aren’t interchangeable. They each have their own pros and cons. Which is why we’re comparing Dropbox vs Google Drive, two of the most popular choices for the majority of users.

Dropbox Vs Google Drive: What You Get For Free

Both of these services let you use them for free, but they don’t offer exactly the same amount of storage or features if you put no money down. Dropbox Basic offers you 2GB of space. This is a rather small amount of space in this day and age, but if you only need to keep a few small documents and moderate quality photos, it will do in a pinch. 

Dropbox Basic users are also limited to three devices in total. For example, a laptop, tablet and smartphone. Dropbox also offers Dropbox Paper, a cloud-based collaboration tool that lets you work on documents and communicate with team members. There’s also DropBox integration for applications like Microsoft Word, which helps keep track of document versions for office files stored and shared through your Dropbox.

The free version of Google Drive currently offers a 17GB allocation of space. That’s far more reasonable for general use. If you’re only storing a few work documents and photos, then it’s likely this chunk of storage will serve you for a long time. Of course, you also get a Gmail account, access to the full Google Drive suite and quite possibly the best set of online collaboration and sharing tools of any cloud software service today. 

So if you mainly want cloud storage as a way to work seamlessly with others, Google Drive is already the stronger contender here.

In the end, the sheer lack of storage space of the DropBox Basic offering makes it little more than a trial by another name. So if you’re not looking to spend any money at all, we have a hard time recommending it. 

The Best Things About Google Drive

Google Drive is so much more than a cloud storage solution. Drive itself is the unifying hub that ties together all the various Google services. Your Gmail address is the key to it all and, of course, all of your mail takes up a part of the storage in your drive.

Drive is also the backbone of Google’s suite of cloud applications. Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides are three important ones, but there’s a sizable selection on offer. When you create a new document with one of these applications, it’s stored in your Google Drive.

In the past, offline use and integration has been a significant point of weakness for Google Drive, but thanks to browser extensions and the excellent Backup and Sync application, we consider those particular gaps filled.

The Best Things About Dropbox

One of Dropbox’s greatest strengths is its simplicity. If you install the Dropbox application on your desktop computer, it acts as a simple system folder. Moving files in and out of the cloud is no different from using local file transfer. It’s also dead easy to get shareable links and see exactly which files have been synced or not. 

All in all, Dropbox just works and that’s a big plus point in its favor. However, Google Drive has caught up in the last few years. The Backup and Sync application gives it effectively the same form and function as Dropbox.

We do however think that the Dropbox mobile application is much more user friendly and easy to navigate compared to Google Drive. Partly because Dropbox has a much smaller set of functions squeezed into the same space. We are however very impressed with Dropbox Rewind, which is a powerful and intuitive way to roll back changes to your Dropbox that happen either by accident or thanks to malicious actors. 

Google Drive also lets you revert file versions and recover deleted items from the Trash, but it has nothing as good as this at the time of writing. 

Dropbox Vs Google Drive Pricing Compared

While it’s nice that both services offer a free tier for you to try, you’ll need to shell out a little cash in order to get the most out of them. We’re only focusing on the consumer-grade or individual options here rather than the business or enterprise products.

Starting with Dropbox, these are the most relevant plans for the average user:

• Dropbox Plus 2TB $9.99 per month (billed annually) or $12.99 billed monthly.
• Dropbox Professional 3TB $16.58 per month (billed annually) or $19.99 per month billed monthly.

Dropbox doesn’t just offer different storage sizes between these two tiers. There are other feature differences as well. For example, the Professional option provides 180 days of rewind rather than 30, as with Plus.

On the Google side, the storage service is called Google One and the pricing breaks down like this:

• $2.99 per month: 200 GB
• $9.99 per month: 2 TB
• $99.99 per month: 10 TB
• $199.99 per month: 20 TB
• $299.99 per month: 30 TB

Only the 200GB and 2TB plans have an annual option, which essentially give you two months out of the year for free. Google offers a better deal on every level and sadly Dropbox does not have smaller plans. We have to give the prize to Google here, Dropbox is just not competitive in pure dollar terms.

Dropbox Vs Google Drive: Which Is For You?

If you’re looking for a simple, straightforward cloud storage solution that simply acts as a hard drive in the cloud, Dropbox is probably the best choice for you. It’s simpler to navigate and manage your files and easy to sync files on your devices. 

One rather sizable issue is the lack of a family plan. Google Drive, OneDrive and Apple iCloud all offer options to share a pool of cloud storage among a group of people, such as a household. With the way cloud storage is priced, this is often the most efficient and economical. In the case of Dropbox, you’ll have to buy separate plans for each person. Which means that, unless you’re only looking for an individual plan, Dropbox quickly becomes too expensive.

It’s hard, however, to deny that Google has slowly but surely put together one of the most versatile, general-purpose cloud solutions in the form of Google Drive. They have largely solved the issue of offline use and automatic file syncing. The Google Drive of today is also more streamlined than ever. Once you’re familiar with the way things are done in Google Drive land, it quickly becomes second nature.

Unless you absolutely need Dropbox’s superlative rewind feature and other more business-oriented aspects, we’re comfortable in saying that for most people, most of the time, Google Drive is the better overall option.
