INFOGRAPHIC: OneDrive vs Google Drive — which one is better?

Cloud storage is arguably essential to modern life; without it, many online operations simply wouldn't exist. Several cloud-based storage solutions are available, designed to meet different needs and scales. However, for everyday users, the options can feel limited, as only a few companies dominate the market.

Among these, OneDrive and Google Drive are two of the most popular choices. Users may prefer one for various reasons, including price or personal preference. But which one is truly better?

To find out, we will compare the two across key categories, helping you determine which option best suits your needs.

Storage capacity and pricing

The first and most important thing to look out for when it comes to this is, the storage itself, and the price tag attached. Thankfully, OneDrive and Google Drive are both very equally yolked on this.

• OneDrive offers 5GB of storage for free users with its paid plan starting at $2 a month ($20 annually) for 100GB of storage. For personal use, users can access up to 1TB of storage for $7 per month (or $70 annually). For family use, the plan is priced at $10 per month (or $100 per year) and offers 6TB of storage.
• In contrast, Google Drive provides its free users with 15GB of storage, three times more than OneDrive offers. But, its paid plan is very similar to what OneDrive offers. The paid plan starts at 100GB of storage for $2 a month ($20 annually) but its premium offer is 2TB for $10 a month ($100 annually) or $20 a month if you want it with Gemini AI support.
