As Jobs said, DropBox is a feature not a product. For the same price as Dropbox, you can buy the entire Office 365 suite for 5 users with 1TB each.

Except that Onedrive sync is sub-par. If you have one computer <-> cloud then it works reasonably well, ignoring file naming issues. If you have several computers that you want to keep in sync it gets hopelessly messy and out of sync real fast unless it's just few files.

I've tried to give OneDrive a chance several times but no more. Dropbox has been only reliable choice for three-four way sync for me.

To clarify, it is 1 TB for the whole tenant. The first user activates the free 1TB, and the rest may use it.

Ah, yes, that’s for OneDrive personal, but for most business applications people are probably using SharePoint which works differently (https://lazyadmin.nl/office-365/sharepoint-storage-limits/).

SharePoint syncs via OneDrive, but offers better categorisation and integration with Windows Explorer and Office (“sites”).

I don’t think that the family plans offer tenant management.

Fair enough.

Since the only way that DropBox makes sense as anything more than a “lifestyle business” is by focusing on the enterprise. The correct comparison would be what they both offer enterprise customers and not my comparison is on the personal side.
