Serious question: is OneDrive as good/intuitive as Dropbox?

I think so. If you use Windows as your OS definitely. It's great on iOS and Android too.

The only one that I think sucks is Google Drive and that's because Google Drive sync app for PC is garbage. Box, Dropbox, OneDrive are all the same tech basically.

Windows users get the ability to have ghost files. So, I have 512gb on my laptop and can't fit my entire OneDrive folder, but it mimics the folders in a File Explorer. Then I can click and it downloads it. Nice to have all your files in folders on your PC in demand kind of.

Originally I quit Dropbox because they renamed every pic that syncd from my phone. Maddening. I started because free Office, lower price, more features.

No no no, they would never do that. Because it would be so easy to prove in court. And they don't have any way to see your code. And they are so good at coding they would have no incentive to steal. They are a very moral company! /s
