Engine by engine
Box vs Google Drive: 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 68/100 for AI visibility versus 32/100. Google Drive shows up in 70% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Box shows up in 50%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Google Drive is clearly favoured: Box is recommended 20% of the time and Google Drive 60%. 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 solution for small businesses?” is far likely to put Google Drive on its shortlist. Box is largely invisible in AI answers for cloud storage — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
