Engine by engine
Google Drive vs Box: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend cloud storage, Google Drive is recommended more often than Box — scoring 73/100 for AI visibility versus 43/100. Google Drive shows up in 80% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Box shows up in 50%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Google Drive is clearly favoured: Google Drive is recommended 80% of the time and Box 20%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best cloud storage for team collaboration?” is more likely to put Google Drive on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
