For 2 TB of personal storage, Google is the cheapest of the three at $9.99/month, Dropbox is $11.99 for the same amount, and OneDrive's 1 TB comes bundled into Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.99 — so you're really getting Office apps plus half the storage for Dropbox's price.
| 2 TB price | Free tier | What else comes with it | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google One | $9.99/mo | 15 GB (shared across Gmail/Photos) | Gemini features, VPN, family sharing |
| OneDrive | $9.99/mo (1 TB, via M365 Personal) | 5 GB | full Office desktop apps |
| Dropbox | $11.99/mo (2 TB) | 2 GB | best sync engine, strongest sharing/collab |
Each one wins at one specific thing. Google Drive wins on raw value and free storage — 15 GB free is the most, and $9.99 for 2 TB with Gemini and a VPN bundled in is a lot of stuff for the money (though that 15 GB is shared with Gmail and Photos, so it fills up). OneDrive wins if you use Office — nobody's buying 1 TB of OneDrive for the storage; they're buying Microsoft 365 for Word and Excel and the storage is a bonus. Dropbox wins on the actual file-syncing: its sync engine is still the fastest and most reliable of the three, and its sharing and collaboration features (file requests, granular permissions, Paper) are a step above.
Microsoft raised its business plan prices on July 1, 2026 (Business Basic $6→$7, Business Standard $12.50→$14), so if you're comparing the business tiers rather than personal, use current numbers.
Pure storage on a budget: Google. Already in the Microsoft world: OneDrive via a 365 subscription you probably want anyway. Willing to pay $2 more a month for the best sync reliability and sharing tools: Dropbox — that premium is real if file-syncing is something you depend on daily.
