How does Lark Drive compete with Google and OneDrive in 2026?

I've been using Lark Suite with my clients and honestly I was pleasantly surprised by Lark Drive.

The free tier alone is generous: 100GB for up to 20 users at 0 cost.

Compare that to Google Drive at 15GB per user and OneDrive at just 5GB per user (on the free tier).

The browser experience is clean and familiar.

Upload, organise, share, preview — it works exactly like how you'd expect. Documents, PDFs, images all handled smoothly.

If your team is already inside Lark Suite, having your files in the same ecosystem just makes sense.

No switching between apps, no extra tab, no switching tax.

Pro plan increases storage to 15TB org-wide at 12USD per user/month — which is genuinely competitive for a platform that also gives you chat, video calls, docs, Base, and HR tools all in one place.

One thing to plan for though: Lark Drive currently works best as a browser-based experience.

There's no desktop sync client yet — so for teams working with large files like video assets or Adobe project files, you'll want to build a workflow around this. Item-by-item offline access is available, just not automatic folder-level sync for now.

For document-heavy teams already on Lark Suite — it's a reliable, cost-effective choice.

The storage value at the free tier is hard to beat anywhere.
