Dropbox was never my favorite cloud storage service. In fact, I never even used it until 2013. My preferred cloud storage services were SkyDrive (now known as OneDrive) and Google Drive. I have always prefered everything Microsoft/Google as I didn't want to depend upon different companies for different products. My mistake!
Don't Miss: OneDrive vs. Dropbox vs. Google Drive vs. Everything Else
Back then, I relied a lot on Google --- Gmail (for email), Google Calendar (for calendar), Google Notebook (for note-taking), Google Tasks (for task management), Google Drive (for cloud storage), and Google Reader (for news reading).
And, one fine day, I realized that it's not a good idea to rely on only one brand for "all things".
How? Because Google discontinued Google Notebook and Google Reader (
R.I.P.). And Google Tasks too is on the verge of discontinuation as they are no longer updating that service. In fact, they discontinued a lot of nice
Google products.
Today, I don't care about how many brands I'm relying on. Instead, I just try to make sure that they offer the best product in their category. So, I replaced Google Calendar with Sunrise, Google Notebook with Evernote, Google Tasks with Todoist, Google Drive with Dropbox, and Google Reader with Feedly.
