I use both of these and I know which I’m going to turn to when. But you try asking me why. It’s one of those things where I struggle to explain the differences and why I’d use either, let alone both. But this fella – he blogs in the first person but you try finding out his actual name – has the answer in a short and good explanation. Here’s his take on why this is an issue:
Both services are based in the cloud, and both services can be a huge asset to your backup strategy and workflow. Unfortunately, they’re often lumped together or painted with the same brush when in fact, they are actually quite different. If you’re using one of the services exclusively, you may not realize how the other service can help you. Similarly, you may actually be “rocking” both services concurrently with no clear dividing line that tells you definitively “this goes into Dropbox” and “this goes into Evernote”.
