There are other feature differences as well.

Starting with Dropbox, these are the most relevant plans for the average user: We’re only focusing on the consumer-grade or individual options here rather than the business or enterprise products. While it’s nice that both services offer a free tier for you to try, you’ll need to shell out a little cash in order to get the most out of them. Google Drive also lets you revert file versions and recover deleted items from the Trash, but it has nothing as good as this at the time of writing. We are however very impressed with Dropbox Rewind, which is a powerful and intuitive way to roll back changes to your Dropbox that happen either by accident or thanks to malicious actors. Partly because Dropbox has a much smaller set of functions squeezed into the same space.

We do however think that the Dropbox mobile application is much more user friendly and easy to navigate compared to Google Drive. The Backup and Sync application gives it effectively the same form and function as Dropbox. However, Google Drive has caught up in the last few years. All in all, Dropbox just works and that’s a big plus point in its favor.
