You used business pricing for Box, Dropbox and Microsoft but consumer pricing for Google. Google gives unlimited storage for $120/user/year as part of Apps for Work Unlimited: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6034782?hl=en

Also "offer approximately the same service" is a bit off. Amazon doesn't have any kind of SLA for Cloud Drive and while Box, Microsoft and Google provide SLAs. In addition, while the older competitors provide essentially a full office suite and a bunch of features like OCR, Amazon provides nothing but a very basic web interface that allows you to see previews.

That's Dropbox's consumer pricing. Their business pricing is $180/user/year ($15/user/mo) for unlimited.

re:GoogleUnlimited, That's really interesting. Are you aware of any downside? Ie, Why a user might choose Google's normal $120/y over Google Apps Unlimited?

Consumer accounts have more complete access to Google products. For example there's currently no way to get a Project Fi number on an Apps for Work account.

Also the business plans are theoretically limited to 1TB per users for organizations with less than 5 users. I'm not sure if that's still the case since I seem to have actual unlimited (2TB use now) with a single user organization.
