## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them:
> 
> **1. Google Workspace (Drive + Shared Drives)** - The default answer for most remote teams. Real-time co-editing in Docs/Sheets is still the best in the business, sharing links "just work" for outside collaborators, and Shared Drives mean files belong to the team rather than to whoever created them (which saves you when someone leaves). Business Standard runs about $14/user/month with 2 TB pooled per user.
> 
> **2. Microsoft 365 (OneDrive + SharePoint + Teams)** - If your team already lives in Office, stop here. Deep Word/Excel/Teams integration, strong compliance tooling, and Business Basic is the cheapest serious option at roughly $6/user/month with 1 TB per user. The tradeoff: SharePoint permissions get confusing fast, and sync has historically been the weak spot.
> 
> **3. Dropbox (Business/Teams)** - Pick this when syncing *is* the job: large files, desktop-heavy workflows, people on flaky connections. Its block-level sync and selective/smart sync are still more reliable than the competition, and Paper plus Dash cover light collaboration. Costs more per seat (~$18+/user/month) and you're paying for
