Ask HN: Did you switch from Dropbox to Google Drive?

2. Between the two, currently Dropbox has more value for me both in terms of overall storage space and in terms of users I have shared folders with.

3. Free on both. I haven't had a need to upgrade to the paid version yet due to limited need to use the service. Possibly later if I ever end up needing more space.

I'm switching to the first one to implement webhooks for file updates.

It probably matters that I haven't downloaded the Google Drive client yet, but on the basis of cost alone, Google Drive is substantially cheaper.

That said, I love Dropbox (which is the reason I haven't switched yet), but the features they seem to be rolling out aren't particularly appealing to me. I just really want somewhere to store my files.

Dropbox also has the advantage of being the client I use to share files with a variety of people already and I'm honestly not sure if I downgraded to the free plan, that I could keep up with all those fileshares. I'll have to look and see where the cap is implemented.

If I have a 2Gb plan, and a paid user shares a 3Gb folder with me, do I have to upgrade to see/use it?

1. I do not want to keep installing software on my system especially on my office computer.

Why not Google came out with a G Drive similar to Amazon where you do not have to install anything but still can upload and access all files?

2. And Google is late to the game. I have already 5 GB from Amazon and 5 GB from Dropbox and that will be enough for me for a while.
