If you want stronger integration into windows 10 then I recommend it. I use it daily and it's so nice to easily switch from Ipad to computer without having anything other then the search bar on my taskbar.

My space Race promo for dropbox is ending.

Should I switch to Onedrive?

Google Drive is what I use until I buy my NAS, and I absolutely love it.

I got 30 GB free on Onedrive, and already owned a hotmail account so Onedrive was so natural for me, especially because I have Office 2013 pro.

I know you didn't list it, but I second Google Drive. It's so.. UI-friendly, it integrates into Chrome really well, and pretty much everybody already has it. (Since pretty much everybody has a Google Account.) I think they even provide babies a Google Account at birth alongside their SSID now..

I use OneDrive mainly because of Office 365. I have a desktop, a MacBook Pro, a Surface Pro and my parents each have their own computer. Office 365 allows me to install office on up to 5 devices and each user gets 1TB of storage. I find that a decent deal for $10 a month.

 

I use Google Drive for collaboration work since Google Docs allows multiple users editing the same document at the same time. I find that very useful. Perfect for students.

OneDrive for me. The integration with Windows and Office, (and soon XBox Music, including sync your own music), is simply a must have.

You can do all that GoogleDrive can do, plus you can use Office online in your web browser, free for all (Office 365 or not), and your documents won't screw up.

Well if you have a Office 365 subscription Microsoft is making OneDrive storage unlimited soon. They gave me 10TB for now with my office subscription. But dropbox has better cross platform support and their photo management is far superior to OneDrive (at least right now).

Microsoft decided to piss me off when they lock my microsoft account to the Onedrive so I can't swap with my university email and take advantage of the onedrive for business.

 

Google drive it is. But I will also use onedrive as well.

I really hate Dropbox for the sole reason that I have to install a separate program for it. OneDrive is already installed on the PC and is tightly integrated into Windows 8. I can save my work directly into the cloud from Office 2013 without having to think to upload it manually or something like that afterwards. I can also directly access it through the recently opened files once in Office.
