Dropbox integration isn't something Google or Apple offer (though that may change in the future thanks to iOS 8's third-party storage provider support), so if you're tied into that ecosystem due to file sharing or some other factor, Office may be the best option for you. You can also link Dropbox and pull files from there into any of the Office apps. Microsoft Office syncs with Office 365 so you can access all your work on the web from anywhere. (You can also use Continuity to Handoff documents between devices as you go.) All of Apple's iWork apps also support the most popular file formats and let you easily share what you create via email or by sharing an iCloud link. That means no matter what device you create something on, you'll be able to access it on any other iOS device or Mac that's linked to your account. Syncing, sharing, and collaboratingĪll of Apple's iWork apps tie in with iCloud. Google Slides can't really offer any of that.

Both support inserting images, videos, and other kinds of objects as well as the option to choose from many great looking templates. Keynote and PowerPoint run neck and neck when it comes to creating presentations. You can choose themes on the web and then they'll sync down to the mobile version, but again, not very convenient.

Basically, you have to pick from Google's pre-made slides and be happy with text-only slides with no image support, unless, of course, you are okay with finishing things up from a web browser. You can add text into existing text boxes but there isn't a way to add, move, or edit them. Slides are technically 'editable' but not functionally. Unfortunately Google Slides doesn't provide as great of an experience as either Keynote or PowerPoint do.
