# Microsoft OneDrive vs Dropbox EMM

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dropbox EMM at none against Microsoft OneDrive's 11. Microsoft OneDrive's advantage is ratings volume (488K vs 390) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft OneDrive sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Dropbox EMM asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Microsoft OneDrive against 4.8 for Dropbox EMM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft OneDrive has 488K ratings behind it against 390, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 19% and 19% positive.

Microsoft OneDrive ships an update every 11 days, Dropbox EMM fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
