SkyDrive vs Google Drive vs Dropbox vs Apple iCloud – A Comparision

Speed Up My PC

SkyDrive for Windows, the new desktop client for Windows, has been pretty well-received by all. With the launch of Google Drive around the corner. The best part about this desktop app is that when you install the it on your computer, you will be able to access your photos and files from almost anywhere, store them, and securely share them. If you install the SkyDrive app on all your computers using Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X Lion, you will never have to worry about forgetting a photo or file again.

Microsoft has also added many cool new features to SkyDrive and even offered free upgrade of storage space to 25GB. Given the present scenario, it is understandable that most would want to compare the features of SkyDrive and its competitor services.

    In DropBox’s public folder, any file has a nice permanent direct links. this feature is unbeatable! I like to embed my files and send direct links to my friends, so easy

    Seems to me that Sugarsync does practically everything on that chart. No wonder they didn’t list it.

    Google Drive offers 5gigs off the bat and has a Windows Sync app just like Dropbox.

    What about the BlackBerry client or Linux client? So far only DropBox seems to have them…

    I’m looking for anything else that has these specific features, because I am running out of room in my Dropbox public folder, and I use it almost exclusively for the two purposes you just mentioned.
