Hi: Actually, Google Drive gives you 15 gigabytes of Free storage, which is more than Dropbox gives you. The only caution about Google Drives is that the 15 gigabytes of free storage is shared among all your google services for that account. So suppose you use Gmail on that account, then the amount of storage you use for your gmail is taken from the 15 gigs, which means you will have less than 15 gigs for your Google Drive, which is still better than Drop Box gives you. Also, as you may or may not know, Dropbox has changed their interface lately and, guess what, they maid it somewhat inaccessible. Mark, from GW Micro has written them about the accessibility problems and their response seems to indicate that they might not care as much as we would like them to. I've just started playing with Google Drive, but I haven't seen any major accessibility problems with it. Kevin Huber
