Cloud Storage使维护和存储数据变得简单。在此过程中，它为您节省了购买多个硬盘驱动器(Hard Drives)和其他物理存储设备的成本。云计算(Cloud computing)通常可以定义为将数据存储在云服务器而不是物理设备上的系统。
科技行业有著名的服务，例如Microsoft OneDrive和Google Drive。在本文中，我们将提供Google Drive和OneDrive的中立事实，以帮助您做出决定。
OneDrive 与 Google Drive 比较
云存储(Cloud Storage)为您提供优于本地服务器的优势，因为您可以随时随地在任何设备上访问您的数据。但是有必要知道适合你的那个。
Google Drive和OneDrive在大多数情况下为您提供相同的功能集，但方式不同，因此让我们根据某些参数了解差异。这些都是：
- 同步技术和设施
- 免费存储空间可用性
- 合作
- 付费存储空间可用性
- 隐私
- 备份限制
让我们从第一个方面开始。
1]同步技术(Syncing Technology)和设施
当我们比较 OneDrive 和Google Drive时，速度爱好者可能会发现Google Drive有点逊色。由于 OneDrive 使用称为块级(Block Level) 复制(Copying)的高级文件同步技术。它将文件分解成更小的包，因此不是整个文件，而是其碎片包被上传。因此，同步所需的时间更少。
另一方面，Google Drive进行基本的同步，比OneDrive 稍逊一筹(OneDrive)。但是，如果您是Android用户，您可以忽略其缓慢的速度，因为它易于同步。
如果您已经在使用Microsoft Productivity套件，例如Excel、PowerPoint、Word ，那么在(Word)OneDrive中同步文件比在Google Drive中更容易。
另一方面，如果您使用的是Google WorkPlace生产力套件，例如Docs、Sheets、Slides ，那么您会发现Google Drive会更好。(Google Drive)
但是，如果您无法决定是选择Google Workplace套件还是Microsoft 365应用程序集，请查看此比较研究(comparative study)。
Google Drive和OneDrive在大多数情况下都提供相同的同步功能。您可以通过Google Drive(Google Drive)和OneDrive上的简单步骤轻松同步云上的文件。这些文件很容易访问。因此，您在此参数中的决定将归结为您的优先事项，无论您喜欢速度还是易于同步，无论您喜欢Google Workplace还是Microsoft 365。
2]免费存储空间可用性
当我们比较可用存储空间时，您在OneDrive上获得(OneDrive)5 GB的免费存储空间，而Google One Drive为您提供15 GB的免费存储空间。因此，在免费存储空间可用性方面，Google 云端硬盘(Google Drive)为您提供更多空间来存储您的数据，包括文件、媒体，尤其是照片。
因此，如果您不打算购买他们各自的订阅，Google Drive是一个直接的赢家，只是因为它有更多的存储空间。
3] 付费存储
对于大多数用户来说，付费存储(Paid Storage)将是决定因素。所以，让我们谈谈这个。
在OneDrive的情况下，您将获得两个类别，家庭(For Home )和企业。(For Business. )如果您想购买OneDrive供您的家庭或个人使用，那么您必须在四个层级之间进行选择，它们是：
- Microsoft 365 Famly：总共 6 TB，每年 99.99 美元（或每月 9.99 美元，第一个月免费）。
- Microsoft 365 个人版：(Microsoft 365 Personal:)总共有 1TB，每年 69.99 美元（或每月 6.99 美元）。
- OneDrive Standalone 100 GB：总共有 100 GB，每月 1.99 美元
- OneDrive Basic 5 GB：它总共有 5 GB 并且是免费的。
但是，如果您计划为您的企业购买OneDrive ，则计划会发生变化。他们是：
- OneDrive for Business（计划 1）：(Business (Plan 1): )每位用户总共有 1 TB，价格为 5 美元/用户/月。
- OneDrive for Business（计划 2）：(OneDrive for Business (Plan 2): )它具有无限存储空间，每用户每月 10 美元。
- Microsoft 365 商业基础版：(Microsoft 365 Business Basic: )每位用户总共有 1 TB 的容量，包年套餐为 5 美元/用户/月（包月套餐为 6 美元/用户/月），并附带Web和 移动办公(Mobile Office)应用程序。
- Microsoft 365 商业标准版：(Microsoft 365 Business Standard: )每位用户总共有 1 TB 的容量，包年费用为 12.5 美元/用户/月（包月费用为 15 美元/用户/月），并附带Office应用程序。
另一方面，谷歌(Google)简化了一切。您将获得 15 GB 的免费存储空间，并且可以升级到付费计划。价格从 2 美元（100 GB）和 9 美元（2 TB）起，并附带额外的Google 福利(Google Benefits)。
所以，决定权在你。
4] 协作
您不仅可以将云存储(Cloud Storage)用作存储设施，还可以与同事一起利用许多生产力应用程序。(Productivity apps)Google Drive具有基于浏览器的协作应用程序，例如可以在线和离线编辑的Google Docs、Sheets和 Slides。(Sheets)
但是，如果您熟悉OneDrive的生产力(Productivity)应用程序，包括PowerPoint、Excel和Word，那么在OneDrive上工作可能会更容易。OneDrive也有一个移动应用程序，就像Google Drive一样，可以随时随地管理您的数据。但是，OneDrive的问题在于它没有集成第三方应用程序。
但是，在这两种情况下，您都可以与同事分享您的工作。所以，这里没有赢家。
5]隐私
Google Drive和OneDriev的用户都同意这一需要“隐私权(Right)”。因此，当我们谈论隐私(Privacy)时，众所周知，谷歌(Google)因通过您的数据进行有针对性的广告而被判有罪。
另一方面，Microsoft也有权扫描您的信息数据以防止有异议的数据进入，但如果您是一个希望不惜一切代价保护其隐私的人，那么OneDrive是更好的选择。
6]备份限制
使用Google Drive时，您可以使用一个切换键备份您的联系人列表和日历事件以及您手机的媒体。
与Google Drive相比，OneDrive有一些限制，因为您只能备份设备的媒体，例如视频和照片。但是您可以对媒体的质量拥有更多的权力。

判决
OneDrive和Google Drive都是很好的云(Cloud)服务。但是，如果您从事大型企业，那么OneDrive会更好，因为它的上传速度快、存储空间大、安全性高，但对于其他所有人来说，Google Drive是一个更好的选择。
在选择其中任何一个之前，您需要确保的另一件事是您使用的生产力套件。对于Google Workplace用户，Google Drive更好，对于Microsoft 365用户，OneDrive更完美。
希望这有助于您做出决定。

OneDrive vs Google Drive - Which is the better Cloud Service?
Cloud Storage has made maintaining and storing the data simple. In the process, it saves you the cost of buying multiple Hard Drives and other physical storage devices. Cloud computing, in general, can be defined as a system to store data on cloud servers instead of physical devices.
There are notable services in the tech industry such as Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive. In this article, we are putting neutral facts of Google Drive and OneDrive, to help you in making your decision.
OneDrive vs Google Drive comparison
Cloud Storage gives you advantages over the local server as you can reach your data anytime, anywhere, and on any device. But it is necessary to know the suitable one for you.
Google Drive and OneDrive, for the most part, offer you the same set of features but in a different manner so let’s get to know the difference based on certain parameters. These are:
- Syncing Technology and Facilities
- Free Storage space availability
- Collaboration
- Paid storage space availability
- Privacy
- Back-Up limit
Let’s start with the first aspect.
1] Syncing Technology and Facilities
When we compare OneDrive and Google Drive, speed enthusiasts may find Google drive a bit inferior. As OneDrive uses a superior file syncing technology called Block Level Copying. It breaks files into smaller packages, so instead of the entire file, its fragmented packages get uploaded. Therefore, the time required for syncing is less.
On the other hand, Google Drive does basic syncing and is a little inferior to OneDrive. However, if you are an Android user, you can look past its slow speed because of the ease-of-syncing.
If you are already using the Microsoft Productivity suite, such as Excel, PowerPoint, Word then syncing the file is easier in OneDrive as compared to that in Google Drive.
On the other hand, if you are using Google WorkPlace productivity suite such as Docs, Sheets, Slides then Google Drive is what you will find better.
However, if you are not able to decide whether to go for Google Workplace suite or Microsoft 365 set of applications, check out this comparative study.
Google Drive and OneDrive, for the most part, offer the same syncing facilities. You can easily sync files on the cloud with simple steps on both Google Drive and OneDrive. These files are easily accessible. So, your decision in this parameter will boil down to your priorities, whether you like speed or ease-of-syncing, whether you like Google Workplace or Microsoft 365.
2] Free Storage Space Availability
When we compare the free storage space availability, you get 5 GB of free storage on OneDrive, whereas, Google One Drive offers you 15 GB free storage space. So when it comes to free storage space availability, Google Drive offers you more space to store your data including files, media, and especially photos.
Therefore, if you are not going to buy their respective subscription, Google Drive is a straightaway winner, just because of the fact that it has more storage.
3] Paid Storage
For most users, Paid Storage will be the deciding factor. So, let us talk about that.
In the case of OneDrive, you will get two categories, For Home and For Business. If you want to buy OneDrive for your home or personal use then you have to choose between four tiers, they are:
- Microsoft 365 Famly: It has a total of 6 TB and comes at $99.99 per year (or $9.99 a month and first month free).
- Microsoft 365 Personal: It has a total of 1TB and comes at $69.99 per year (or $6.99 a month).
- OneDrive Standalone 100 GB: It has a total of 100 GB and comes at $1.99 a month
- OneDrive Basic 5 GB: It has a total of 5 GB and is free.
However, plans change if you are planning to buy OneDrive for your business. They are:
- OneDrive for Business (Plan 1): It has a total of 1 TB per user and comes at $5/user/month.
- OneDrive for Business (Plan 2): It has unlimited storage and comes at $10/user/month.
- Microsoft 365 Business Basic: It has a total of 1 TB per user for $5/user/month for annual commitment ($6/user/month for monthly commitment), and comes with Web and Mobile Office apps.
- Microsoft 365 Business Standard: It has a total of 1 TB per user for $12.5/user/month for annual commitment ($15/user/month for monthly commitment), and comes with Office apps.
On the other hand, Google streamlines everything. You will get 15 GB of free storage and can upgrade to paid plans. The prices start from $2 (for 100 GB) and $ 9 (for 2 TB and comes with added Google Benefits.
So, the decision is up to you.
4] Collaboration
You can not only use Cloud Storage as a storage facility but you can also take advantage of many Productivity apps with your colleagues. Google Drive has browser-based apps for collaboration such as Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides that can be edited online as well as offline.
But if you are familiar with OneDrive’s Productivity apps that include PowerPoint, Excel, and Word then it may be easier for you to work on OneDrive. OneDrive also has a mobile app, just like Google Drive, to manage your data, whenever and wherever you want. But, the problem with OneDrive is that it does not integrate third-party applications.
However, in both cases, you can share your work with your colleagues. So, no winner here.
5] Privacy
Both the users of Google Drive and OneDriev will agree on this one need “Right to privacy”. So when we talk about Privacy, Google is notoriously found guilty of going through your data for targeted advertisements.
On the other hand, Microsoft also has the right to scan your informational data to prevent objectional data from entering but if you are a person who wants their privacy to be protected at any cost then OneDrive is a better choice.
6] Back-up Limitation
When using Google Drive, you can back-up your contact list and calendar events along with your phone’s media with a single toggle key.
In comparison to Google Drive, OneDrive has some limitations as you can only back-up your devices’ media such as video and photos. But you can have more power over the media’s quality.

Verdict
Both OneDrive and Google Drive are good Cloud services. However, if you are in a large business then OneDrive is better because of its fast upload, more storage, and security, but for everyone else, Google Drive is a better option.
Another thing you need to make sure of before going for either of them, which productivity suite you use. For Google Workplace users, Google Drive is better, for Microsoft 365 users, OneDrive is perfect.
Hopefully, this has helped in making your decision.
