We offer you our analysis Alexey Marchenko of the reader, who was faced with the choice - Google Drive or MS SkyDrive for everyday work. Here are the results of his research:
Periodically, it is necessary to have worked on the document several people in different locations and organizations.
What to do:
a) to send the documents by mail;
b) use the services to share / file sharing. In this case, you can set up synchronization with local folders "a la dropbox»;
c) place documents online and edit them online (Google Docs, Microsoft Skydrive, Mindmeister);
d) what else?
I personally like option). Maybe because I do not know option g) ...
But it would be desirable to have a local copy of the documents and to be able to look at something and to edit and offline.
In general, it would be desirable and b) and c). So that a) - was a common file repository that is available in both online, and offline, and b) - the files can be could simultaneously edit online and in) - automatically synchronize changes made offline.
To do this, it is suitable «Google Drive" utility and «SkyDrive». But how to choose between them?
Summary: SkyDrive impresses the possibility of online storage and editing of office-documents in a familiar interface, but this advantage killed glitches access and some chips Google Drive, first of all built-in MindMap (integration with my favorite service mindmeister.com). Google has made to download and synchronize the offline version GoogleDocs - would finally put up with "neprodvinutye" interface for working with office-GOVERNMENTAL documents and the need to install Google Chrome.
