Subject:Re: Google Drive or Dropbox for document sharing? From:Tony Chung <tonyc -at- tonychung -dot- ca> To:Craig Cardimon <craig -dot- cardimon -at- gmail -dot- com> Date:Sat, 20 Apr 2013 14:50:34 -0700
I second Gene's suggestion. But I tend to keep multiple dropbox accounts
for that purpose. I also have one DropBox that I use to hold
everything-ebooks, apps, iPad backup data, etc. Most of the design agencies
I work with use DropBox.
I see Drive's strength in its live spreadsheets and documents, and use them
for content and event organizing.
Another friend showed me sendbigfiles.com for one-off sending. My kid just
signed up with some other service like that. I don't trust it. ;-) I
should check out 4share.
