Both Microsoft SkyDrive and Google Drive are cloud storage and file-syncing Android apps which enable users to store their files in the cloud, for anywhere, anytime, any-device accessibility; but both the apps have their own pros and cons.

Microsoft SkyDrive, which gives users 7GB of free storage when they set up an account, boasts a notably attractive interface; and offers the following advantages to users: creating folders, uploading files from any device, deleting items, sharing files as attachments or through download links, and allowing collaborators to edit Office files shared with other Microsoft users.

However, the SkyDrive app glaringly misses a built-in interface for editing Office files; and it neither allows the users to rename files nor to move files between SkyDrive folders; thereby impeding the `on the go' systemization of file lists.

In comparison, the Google Drive on Android gives the users lesser free storage - only 5GB - when they set up their accounts; but it has a sleek and easy-to-use interface, particularly on a tablet.

While Google's Drive is similar to SkyDrive when it comes to saving and uploading files, and sharing attachments or via download links, it gives the users the addition advantage of creating folders, renaming files, and even moving items between folders; thus helping them organize their files while they are on the go.

Although Google Drive has certain advantages vis-a-vis Microsoft's SkyDrive, the main shortcomings of the Google app is a terrible spreadsheet editor, and the fact that presentations can only be viewed, not edited.
