Google Drive Alternatives
« on: April 26, 2021, 11:28:13 AM »
Finding Google Drive annoying. Looking for a more file structured friendly interface simliar to Microsoft Documents but that is entirely online.
Is Dropbox worth a shot, any other cloud based file storage that anyone would recommend?

What's wrong with Microsoft OneDrive?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

They have a great price especially if you can max out a family plan. Each member gets 1tb and it's 99/year for 6 people (includes Microsoft office)

Looking for businesses.

Is this better than Dropbox?

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

All the more so for business. If you use Outlook or any other type of Office 365 subscription for email server then you probably have it already

  Just to make sure I'm getting the idea of how this online backup works. After it's syncs properly to the one drive cloud. Would that allow for me to erase all my internal and stored media on my device? @Yo ssi

I'm not sure as I don't use it myself, but that should be easily googleable, I assume there's an option to sync or not to.

Update, my whole computer is in one drive now. Access my desktop from anywhere.

Make sure you arent deleting from the synced files or you'll delete the files in onedrive as well.

You can't erase it but you can set one drive to store in the cloud and not have it physically on the device. This will mean that without a connection you will be unable to access your files.
