Google Drive is so rife with fraud and bullshit. First off, if you upload stuff to someone else's Drive, it counts against YOURS.
Second, there's actually no way to let someone upload stuff to your drive. I needed a bunch of video footage from someone else's phone, but she couldn't upload it even though I gave her a link to a folder... because she doesn't have her own Drive. So BS #2 is to support BS #1.
I don't remember if Google double-counts stuff "shared" with you, against your Drive and the sharer's. But I wouldn't put it past them.
Unfortunately DropBox doesn't offer competitive capacity/price combos, and even worse they outright lose files. They lost an entire video job I uploaded for a client; gigabytes of files just disappeared for several days, and when they finally responded to inquiries they had no explanation. I had to sign up for Google just to get the job delivered (late).
