Google Drive is still where most group projects actually live: a shared folder, a pile of PDFs, and a Docs file nobody wants to own. Storage is 15 GB free across Drive, Gmail, and Photos. Google One starts around $1.99 a month for 100 GB.
The catch is the same as every campus Google account: when you graduate, the university can shut the lights off. Keep a personal copy of anything you still need.

Invisible until it is not. Fine as the class dump. Poor as an archive of a four-year degree unless you export.

The Drive equivalent when campus issued you Office 365.
Simple sync that still wins when Google sharing gets messy.
The Apple default for notes, scans, and laptop backups.
