google drive for work vs dropbox for business

Our technology sister company has consulted many clients about workflow efficiency, which relates to people, technology, and standards. Work is never lost, but you can get 'conflicted copy' duplicates if multiple people work on the same file. Files are not checked out or locked when in use, so we are very rigorous about (a) communicating with each other about who is working on what (we use Slack, Hangouts, and verbal communication) and (b) using clear, consistent file naming.

Team communication and file naming standards are really, really important. We eliminated our local server ten years ago and run our business(s) entirely on Dropbox and Google Apps. I love being able to access any file, from any device, anywhere in the world. It's really easy sync select folders to specific people and devices, or to share select folders with outside consultants. We have hundreds of files syncing on any given day and we have several terabytes stored in the cloud. We've scaled from two employees, to dozens, and back again, without any trouble. We've been using Dropbox for more than 10 years to sync everything in our office.
