Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Drive at 4.8 against AppToCloud's 3.9. Google Drive also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google Drive sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and AppToCloud sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
