Email confirmedMost everyone has a Google or Gmail account, so it's easy to share files securely with others, and most contacts have tried or used Google Drive already, unlike DropBox or other alternatives.
Upload of files is occasionally slow.

I use it mainly for watching videos instead of iCloud. Great for video streaming.
Price plans are a little expensive for my taste but it’s worth it
