Why I Left OneDrive for Google Drive (and You Should Too)
1 min read
Summary
For multiple reasons, the user no longer uses OneDrive, instead opting for Google Drive as their main storage provider
They preferred the navigation of the Google Drive platform over OneDrive
In the writer’s experience, Microsoft apps such as Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook often had functionality issues and were slower to respond than their Google Drive counterparts
Google Drive offers a larger free storage limit, which the user finds suitable for their requirements, whereas OneDrive only provides 5GB for free, which can quickly be used up
Google Docs, part of the Google Drive suite, has a seamless auto-save function, negating the need for the user to upload files each time they make changes, as was the case with OneDrive and its Microsoft counterparts
The user also finds it easier to maintain and organise files using Google Drive than via OneDrive, due to the ease of dragging and dropping files to the Trash folder and being able to use the suggested optimisation tools to identify largest files.
