Google Drive vs. SkyDrive vs. Dropbox

Yesterday, Microsoft unleashed a desktop sync app for SkyDrive. Today, Google followed by finally launching Google Drive — after a series of early appearances hinted that it was going to be arriving very, very soon. So now that the dust has settled, how do the two new services stack up with the current king of cloud storage and sync, Dropbox? Let’s take a look.

Free Storage

SkyDrive offers you the most free space at 7GB. Even though you can increase the amount of storage on DropBox without paying, SkyDrive offers it right away. And BONUS- if you're an existing SkyDrive user and you install the new app you'll get 35GB at no charge. Whoop whoop!

Additional Storage

If you have a lot of junk in your trunk (and by that I mean in your computer, of course), all 3 of these services offer paid upgrades. Once again, SkyDrive has the best deal. I wouldn't be surprised if DropBox lowers their prices with their competitors having prices so low compared to theirs.

Selective Sync

One downfall about SkyDrive is that Microsoft wanted to keep things extremely simple. Sounds good but this means there's no option of organizing your files into folders. Everything you upload into your SkyDrive folder is "fair game". DropBox and Google Drive give you control over your files; which ones you want to sync and which ones to keep private.
