Google Cloud Storage vs. Dropbox

chilady1 · 03-17-2014, 05:25 PM

Right now, Google Cloud storage is offering 100Gb for $1.99/month and this is tempting offer to move from Dropbox where all of my books and so forth are stored.

I know the Marvin app allows me to get books from Dropbox, what would be the equivalent of this if I was using Google?

Also, anyone have any experience with Google's cloud storage? I really do love Dropbox as once a doc is stored, it is synced almost immediately. Not really familiar with Google's storage so thought I would get some opinions from a very learned crowd.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

P.S. Pricing also states 1 TB for $9.99/mo - that's a really good deal!

P.S.S. For those wondering why I posted in the Marvin thread simply this - because Marvin is my one and only app for reading so before doing anything, I have to make sure it is compatible with Marvin.

Probably the same as we do for Dropbox if not using the Marvin method, which is to access the files in the Dropbox app, download, and open with Marvin (or whatever else your choice may be) Its just as easy.

I'm looking into adding support for the Google Drive API at some point but I don't have a timeline yet.
