Also iCloud 120 $ per year for 1 TB. The pattern I see is that successful companies that already have their product out there charge more: Google has a big install base of Android phones and the Chrome browser. Apple has a big install base of iOS devices and Macs. Dropbox is also really popular. Microsoft on the other hand mostly has legacy installations on the desktop and a tiny share of the mobile market - even less so if you look at typical power users that use products like these. Amazon is the total newcomer.

So I guess both try to attract pro users with low cost.
