    If I start doing all my work using google apps....

    I go from hard drive dependent to google dependent?

    I could access my files from any computer.

    Not sure, though.

    depends on what you do. I've never really tried google apps...use dropbox/evernote personally.

    I like dropbox. I use google drive for some things that I want to share with others. Otherwise dropbox lets me save documents that I can open on my other computer or my phone.

    My understanding is that some of the features of dropbox are now incorporated into google drive.

    I use both dropbox and google drive, I can't say I have noticed any real difference between the two in terms of features that I use. I just tend to keep different categories of files and data separated. One nice thing I did stumble upon that's pretty useful was uploading all of my music files into the google "play music" cloud so I can stream them to my android phone.
