Airtable and Google Drive are both cloud-based storage and collaboration tools, but they serve different functions. Google Drive is excellent for storing documents, spreadsheets, and other files and sharing them with collaborators.  Airtable, on the other hand, is designed for organizing and structuring data with customizable databases. While you can store files in Airtable, it's not its primary function. Airtable is more geared toward data organization, collaboration, and project management.
