Managing your risks is fair, but it's not clear that Google Drive is less reliable than Dropbox.

1) Google Drive is a fundamental part of their online office suite, which means it's used internally for day-to-day employee work. Reader, Wave, Finance didn't get that status. Not to mention that having paid enterprise plans means it's a bit more mature than other things.

2) In 5 years, Dropbox could very well be referred to as "the discontinued Yahoo! Dropbox" or something similar. Not easy to predict that either.

They merged the synced folder functionality into the office suite; they can pull it back out.

Wasn't Wave used quite a bit internally?
