Room For Improvement

Dropbox Business Enterprise requires enhanced file sharing, security, integration, collaboration, usability, and pricing features for improved user experience.
Google Drive Enterprise needs enhanced security, improved interface, better non-Google integration, increased storage, and advanced Microsoft collaboration.
Sharing documents with other people in the same division or department and being able to work without downloading the file would be ideal.
One area of improvement would be to allow multiple users to edit a file simultaneously and see edits in real time, similar to OneDrive.
I am not aware of the security level it provides, and I would not recommend it for enterprise or company use due to these security concerns.
 

Setup Cost

Dropbox Business - Enterprise offers flexible subscriptions, appreciated for affordability, though some find it slightly expensive compared to alternatives.
Google Drive Enterprise offers varied pricing, seen as affordable by some, with value in bundled Google services despite competition.
I am familiar with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing costs of Google Drive Enterprise, and I find it cost-effective.

The integration of various office tools allows for making and sharing documents easily.
The collaboration aspects between teams and within team members are the most beneficial features.

Featured Reviews

Edgar  Paez - PeerSpot reviewer
Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.
AshwinMor - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the most simplest and easiest UI to use
I would not like many changes in the tool, but I think the 15 GB space provided by Google Drive Enterprise needs to be increased to around 25 five GB, as it would be really helpful for users. These days, the resolution of pictures and everything else has been increased. If you take a picture from an iPhone, it could easily be of around seven to eight GB. Photos are memories that one would want to keep or store properly. I believe that it is not possible to save a lot of photos in Google Drive Enterprise since it only provides 15 GB to users. The product does not offer a bit more storage space for users, which makes it an area that needs to be considered for improvement.
