Verdict

The call

Microsoft OneDrive and Bublup both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of Bublup's written reviews are positive against 20% of Microsoft OneDrive's. Bublup also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Microsoft OneDrive's advantage is ratings volume (487K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
