Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**For file storage and collaboration - the default picks**\n\n1. **Google Workspace** - the best starting point for most remote teams. Real-time co-editing was built in from day one rather than bolted on, version history is painless, and sharing works for people outside your org without friction. Free tier up to ~$22/user/mo. Weakest if you depend on heavy Excel or desktop Office work.\n2. **Microsoft SharePoint / OneDrive (Microsoft 365)** - the one to choose if your team already lives in Teams and Outlook, or if people need real desktop Office. Also the strongest permissions and retention model of the mainstream options. From ~$5-6/user/mo for SharePoint alone, ~$12.50 for Business Standard. Caveat: badly structured SharePoint becomes a swamp fast - budget time for an information architecture, not just a rollout.\n3. **Dropbox Business** - pick this if you want file sync that simply works across unreliable connect", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
