## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-26 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest them:
> 
> **1. Google Workspace (Google Drive)** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. At $6-$12/user/month it bundles email, Docs/Sheets, Meet, and storage, so you're not paying separately for file sharing. Real-time co-editing and commenting is the best in class, and the sharing permission model (view/comment/edit, link vs. named users) is what most distributed teams need. Weakest point: desktop sync is less solid than Dropbox's if you work in large local files.
> 
> **2. Microsoft 365 / OneDrive + SharePoint** - The right pick if your team already lives in Office and Teams. Files land where people already work, Teams channels get backing SharePoint libraries automatically, and the co-authoring in desktop Word/Excel is genuinely good. Note Microsoft raised Business Basic to $7 and Business Standard to $14 per user/month effective July 1, 2026, so re-run the math if you budgeted on old pricing.
> 
> **3. Dropbox Business** - Still the best pure sync engine; if people drag huge files around all day on desktop, Dropbox's block-level sync and Smart Sync just behave better than the others. It's the priciest per-sea
