OneDrive and Google Drive apps are available for all major platforms including Windows, Windows Phone, iOS, Mac OS X, Xbox, and Android. Apple's iCloud currently only supports iOS, Mac, and Windows, but also supports Apple TV.
Both Microsoft and Google both offer business versions of their Cloud storage services. Google Drive's business option comes as part of an overall Google Apps for Business subscription and provides 30GB on online storage. Microsoft, with Office 365, offers a 1TB of OneDrive space for business users.
Apple does not offer a special business option for iCloud.
