I noticed this a few weeks ago and I am quite impressed with it. I have attempted adding photos and other files to my Google Drive folder and viewing them online, and I can safely say that they were there within 30 seconds. Very good, and I can't wait for the iPhone and iPad updates to arrive (I kinda live in an Apple family :wink: ). Once again, it is made even better by the fact that is all free. Google is amazing :D :D

One area that they haven't caught up Dropbox on, though, is LAN syncing. If you put a big file or three on Dropbox, it syncs to the other computers (including phones and tablets, of course) over the LAN rather than multiple downloads via your Internet connection. Much faster and saves using up ISP byte allocation.

I'll keep using both for now, and if I find that one gets all the love, then I'll drop the other. Isn't it nice to be spoiled for choice!
