Real-time co-editing in Docs/Sheets/Slides is still the best in the business, sharing is dead simple for non-technical people, and link permissions are easy to reason about. From about $7/user/month. The weak spot is desktop sync, which is noticeably less solid than Dropbox's.\n2. **Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint (Microsoft 365)** - Best value, period, if you're already on Microsoft. Business Basic is around $6/user/month with 1 TB per user *and* it bundles Teams, Office web apps, and business email. If your team lives in Excel or Teams, don't fight it - this is your answer.\n3. **Dropbox Business** - The one I'd pay a premium for when sync reliability actually matters. Smart Sync is best-in-class, transfer speeds are excellent, and it plays nicely with everyone else's tools rather than trying to lock you in. Starts around $15/user/month for 9 TB+, so it's the expensive option unless sync is your bo", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
