## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For most remote teams, the honest answer is that you should pick the one that matches the productivity suite you already use - then only go specialized if you have a real reason. Here's how I'd rank them:
> 
> **1. Google Drive (Google Workspace)** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. Best-in-class real-time co-editing in Docs/Sheets/Slides, the most generous free tier (15 GB vs ~5 GB for OneDrive and ~2 GB for Dropbox), and sharing that non-technical people and external collaborators just *get*. If your team doesn't have a strong existing commitment, start here.
> 
> **2. Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint (Microsoft 365)** - The right pick if your team lives in Office and Windows. 1 TB per user, deep OS integration, and you're likely paying for it already via M365. Note Microsoft raised Business Basic to $7 and Business Standard to $14/user/mo as of July 2026.
> 
> **3. Dropbox Business** - Worth paying for when *sync* is the job. Block-level sync makes it the fastest of the big three for large, frequently-edited files, and it has the strongest audit trail - version history plus sharing activity logs showing external access attempts. Starter is ~$15/user/mo. It's the one I'd name
