ICloud and OneDrive: Which One is Better?

iCloud is an Apple program and comes with 5GB of storage space for Apple devices. It is free software for all of the Apple account owners, and is found within iCloud. It comes with limited space storage, and if users want more space in the cloud, they need to spend some money to purchase more space. But here our concern is this that which cloud storage service is the best, or at least, better than the iCloud. However, many names come to one’s mind such as- OneDrive from Microsoft and Google Drive flash brightly.

Google Drive has some of its disadvantages as compared to Microsoft OneDrive. Although Google Drive is better than iCloud, OneDrive is better than iCloud. According to the user's experience. Let’s see the reasons why OneDrive is better than iCloud and Google Drive both – even if you are on a Mac.
 

Let’s discuss features that make OneDrive stand out among all the cloud service providers.

More about iCloud vs. OneDrive Features

The iCloud acts just as a storage space on the cloud. On your Mac or iOS device, you can set it to sync local folders by dragging and dropping local folders to an iCloud folder. Besides this, using it, you can’t do anything else. You can’t create any document directly on iCloud because there is no such option for this. Or maybe iCloud could use some of the ThinkOffice etc. integration.

As we have discussed before, the Google Drive is much better as compared to iCloud. But as we have mentioned previously not better than OneDrive because Google Drive will help you to you create, collaborate, and share files that you have stored on Google Drive. Here the file formats are the issue, so it is not as flexible as OneDrive.

With this, you can access and edit online documents, but the file formats will change. If you are not using the Microsoft Office, then you and your collaborators can use the Google Docs to open and collaborate on the document.

It is a drawback of Google Docs. However, this process is not more interesting. The Google Drive Plugin will help you with many Office related tasks for Office, but that involves installing additional artifacts to your computer system.

The integration is more comfortable for the OneDrive. You will get the cloud apps like- Word, Excel. With this, you can create, edit, and share files directly from your OneDrive storage. The solds plans of Office 365 such as- 1TB and 5 x 1 TB schemes, you need to download the latest versions of Microsoft Office.

You can also directly download these apps from your computer system – be it Windows or MacOS or iOS for full functionality of editing. That means offline editing is not available with Google Docs.

iClouds is not providing an option to edit files. iCloud will help you to open files using software or apps that will support the format. To do this, you need to copy is downloaded file to the local device, changes are build-up locally, and the final data is then uploaded to the iCloud.

The cloud, mobile, or desktop user, then the apps are available from OneDrive plans that will help to save directly to OneDrive. There may or may not be a local OneDrive folder dependent on whether you have installed the OneDrive sync app. Otherwise, you can follow the second option that opens files directly from OneDrive, edit them, save them to OneDrive directly, and then share them with any other device if you want.

Unlike iCloud, OneDrive is easy works with the Microsoft Office apps – whether on the cloud, on mobile, or on the desktop. All of them can directly operate on online files.

All of these features make OneDrive better than iCloud. So in last we will suggest that OneDrive is much better than iCloud when it comes to cloud storage for any operating system. The use of iCloud on Windows is the just little bit hard tough and doesn’t have built-in editing features.

However, the iCloud comes with the MacOS and iOS but is still just an extended storage space.

Since a number of users are using Microsoft Office, OneDrive should be the default choice for cloud storage because its processes are made into the Office features.
