The reason I prefer Dropbox to store pics over Google's Drive is that Dropbox stores the files on my hard drive and on the Dropbox web. Often, I am in a situation without internet access. In these times, I can still work with my pics as they are also on my hard drive. Google's Drive requires internet access (Although they do have a beta version to download to your hard drive as does Dropbox). Many of the storage sites which requires internet access is not appealing to me if there are times which I can not access the files.

I run my legacy through "Dropbox" and it works fine. However, I am really considering running it through Google's "Drive" and setting it up as I have through "Dropbox".
