Google Drive, meanwhile, may not be Cloudwards. Evernote is a cloud application using Google Cloud to host notes, in fact , while Google Drive is a cloud storage service that can be used to upload files and serves as a platform for several integrated apps, including an exemplary office suite.
Still, despite the gulf between their respective purposes, there are legitimate questions of which service works best for certain tasks. Rather, we wanted to look at specific functions and analyze them. With that goal in mind, we organized our article into five different rounds: quick notes, to-do lists, compiling research, meeting or class notes and word processing.
Evernote provides note-taking capabilities and storing notes on cloud servers, which allows the service to sync those notes across your various devices.
One of the reasons the Cloudwards. You can sign up for a free Evernote account that comes with some restrictions like a 60MB per-month bandwidth and 25MB note size caps. Google Drive is a cloud storage service and like any cloud storage service.
Its defining purpose is to help you save hard drive space by storing documents, images, videos, music and other files on remote servers. However, this is a cloud storage service that, as you can read about in our Google Drive review , provides much more value than that, which is thanks to a range of integrated apps.
These apps include the usual sync client, in addition to an unmatched suite of office tools that includes a word processor Google Docs and spreadsheet app Google Sheets.
Google also has its own take on a cloud note-taking app, Google Keep. Google did integrate Google Keep with Google Docs in early , an integration that officially made Google Keep a member of the G Suite group of tools along with Drive, Docs, Calendar, Gmail and a few other applications.
Typing a Keep note within a Google Doc will create a note linked back to the document in Google Keep. Google Keep is completely free, providing unlimited note-taking space with no monthly limits. With Google Drive, on the other hand, you get 15GB for free, ranking it among the best free cloud storage offers.
Note-taking apps are perfect for this task, much more so than writing your great ideas down on cocktail napkins or the back of your hand. The Keep layout uses tiles that can be color-coded, making it feel like a virtual replacement for a wall of post-it notes.
Both Evernote and Google Keep, on the other hand, support in-text search and custom tags. With custom tags, you can label notes to sort them later. When it comes to quick notes, most people are likely to get more mileage out of a smartphone app, of course, and Evernote and Google Keep both have good ones. In the case of Evernote, its mobile client feels far more suited to the task of quick notes than its desktop client thanks to a minimalistic layout.
The Evernote mobile app also supports handwriting for those that use a stylus. With optical character recognition, you can even search those handwritten notes later. If you prefer voice notes, you can record those using the Evernote mobile app as well audio notes are also available via the desktop app. In fact, Keep has some of the most advanced voice notes software of any note-taking app. You can dictate entire memos useful while driving and use speech-to-text conversion capabilities to turn that dictation into written notes later.
First things first: neither Evernote or Google Drive are good for project management. However, for day-to-day lists such as for shopping or chores, either will suffice. Next time you sync with your desktop, your phone photos will move to your desktop. From there I move the ones I want to keep to more permanent folders on my desktop.
What a timesaver. Evernote seems like a quick and easy app. I might use it for organizing my notes and pix. The first thing I saw on Dropbox was an ad. Not a good sign. Google drive seems more comprehensive and complex than Evernote but maybe worth the trouble. I used to be a premium user of Evernote for a year but then left since it was to slow at that time. What about now? This is a very helpful comparison, but it seems it was made in Are there any plans to bring it up to date?

This is an extremely useful feature as a document can be edited by several different people simultaneously and each user can give their thoughts and input on each aspect of the project as it is developed. Important documents such as PowerPoint presentations and spreadsheets can also be edited in the cloud by anyone that has access to the Google Drive account, which can make it easier to keep up with company projects, bills or other important documents.
There is also the ability to integrate the Google ecosystem such as Gmail and Google Apps to keep everything stored in Google accessible from one area.
