Zoho Docs VS Google Drive

Zoho Docs and Google Drive are good tools for collaboration on projects.
No advanced skills are needed to have before using these two tools.
An email address will be needed to register for Zoho Docs and a Gmail address will be needed for Google Drive.
I would recommend Google Drive as it has better features.The following is my comparison of Zoho Docs and Google Drive.

Similarities:
  • Both can share files and collaborate on the same project with users or non-users
  • Both are available through web browser and mobile apps
  • Both can sync files and folders on the web and desktop
  • Both can be downloaded and installed in the computer and work off-line
  • Both work with Word document, Spreadsheets, Slides, Polls (Forms)
  • Both support many languages

Differences:
  • Zoho offers 5 GB free storage, but Drive offers 15 GB free storage.
  • Zoho allows 25 users to collaborate, but Drive allows 50 people to edit or comment on a document, spreadsheet, presentation, or drawing at the same time.
  • Drive has Drawings function, but Zoho Docs does not have Drawings.
  • Zoho Docs can be integrated with Dropbox, Google Drive, and Zoho Mail to extend document management. Drive does not integrate with other applications, but there are over 100 Drive Apps.
  • Drive is encrypted using SSL, but Zoho is not encrypted.
  • Drive app can scan paper documents and store them instantly as PDFs, but Zoho does not have scan function.
The following is the comparison chart
