Which is the better option?
Just a quick pro's and con's from some expert will do - no one's getting out the teachers marking pen here. :)

with google, your files will get analyzed then return as ads. with Dropbox everything works already for a couple of years, why change?

Drop box ftw.
Google Drive :

I just upgraded to the 50GB Dropbox plan... so, that's my vote.

I've been looking at wireless NAS external hard drives. Yea, costs a little, but should be able to get 1TB+ of space that you can access remotely.
Something like this.

Fuck Google for always showing up late to the party and trying to take them away with cheaper goods.

Just switched my $20/month Dropbox (100GB) to a $50/year Google Drive (200GB). Fuck dropbox matey.

If you guys are thinking any other cloud storage is safer, you're living in a fantasy world. You can put whatever you want in your terms and conditions but no judge is going to allow google to publish your shitty book out from under your nose. They clearly state in their terms of service that the rights you are granting them are basically 'to provide service' to you. They also clearly state that your intellectual property and ownership rights are never in question - they remain entirely and 100% untouched and assigned to you as the original creator.
- I think the point is they crawl your files... Very thoroughly. If you like that, then great.ESKEMA

We use dropbox, but looking to migrate to box. But box seems to F up graffle files.
