Cloud Storage is (finally) getting cheaper!

We have written about the Cloud Storage war between Google, Dropbox and the other players before. We also have discussed the general advantages (and disadvantages) of relying on the Cloud, and have posted very specifically about very good deals on Adobe Creative Cloud.

Things just got a bit more interesting today: Google has officially lowered the price of the monthly storage plans to $1.99 for 100GB (previously $4.99), $9.99 for 1TB (previously $49.99), and $99.99 for 10TB.
Keep in mind that the additional Google storage works across Drive, Gmail and Google+ Photos. Google’s standard 15GB plan remains free. Yay!

Most photographers and filmmakers I know could benefit from additional storage. It’s Google the best way to go? Not necessarily. We use Google Drive to share online documents, but we prefer Dropbox to exchange files within our team. A FREE account on Dropbox offers 2GB (actually 2.5GB using this link). To “upgrade” Dropbox to 100GB will cost you $99/year or $8.25/month, still four times higher than Google’s new pricing structure.

Will Dropbox lower their prices> Let’s just hope!
