Which cloud storage should I use for work files?

Google Drive, through Google Workspace, for most small teams in India: storage comes with business email and Docs, Business Starter is ₹270 a user a month with 30 GB each, and Business Standard at ₹1,080 gives 2 TB each. Zoho WorkDrive is the cheaper team drive: Starter is ₹140 a user a month billed yearly for at least 3 users, with 1 TB shared by a team of up to 10. Dropbox suits teams sending big files to clients across Mac and Windows, with Standard at $15 a user a month and 3 TB for the team. If your team works in Word and Excel, OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365. For one person, Google One gives 15 GB free and 100 GB for ₹130 a month. Rule: keep files where your email and documents already live, in a company account rather than personal ones, so files stay when people leave.
