However, it really just depends whom users are sharing their projects with. There's nothing inherently wrong with VCS, and I highly recommend it for internal use. Have access to your shared Dropbox files in Google Drive and vice-versa. Syncd in real time We reliably sync over 10M files a day. I'm not trying to add a layer of friction / difficulty for my clients the first time we work together (or ever), especially when most users have never tried project sharing to begin with, so that's already a stretch for them. Have all your files in both Google Drive and Dropbox. I still have to spend some time with them to ensure everything is configured properly but the lesson I learned was: use the existing service that my team is already using (whether that's DB, GD, OD. The issue is that most people have Dropbox configured on their computer. In hindsight, the issue was that they all had to do points 2, 3, and 4 which I didn't realize at the time. Same with the LD and production electrical. That client had trouble joining the project I shared, and gave up. Step 3: You will need to authorize the accounts. Select one account as the source account and the other as the target account. Here you will see an option to Add Cloud Drive to add both Box and Google Drive accounts to InClowdz so you can sync them. Speaking from experience, I can't just share a link to a folder with a client. Step 2: Once you are signed in, use the right-hand side menu to select Sync. VCS is fewer clicks, Hope that answers your question? I just installed Dropbox on another mac in my home. They go to the website, click download and then click install and click OK, then accept your invitation. The installation process is very straightforward and exactly the same process for somebody downloading and installing any cloud service for the first time. In order to use any cloud service (Google, dropbox, onedrive) a user has to download and install an app, there is really no other way around this? In which case yes they will need to set this up. Your points really also apply to any cloud services tool but I am assuming that in most cases they may already have dropbox, google drive etc. Depending on who you are dealing with you really shouldn't need to worry about points 2, 3 and 4.
