Secure data, helpful support, but more duplication file management needed

Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive. There are times when there are some syncing issues. The resolution of the sync issues could be more user-friendly. When you keep on uploading on Microsoft OneDrive, there are a lot of duplicate files which keep adding. There should be some mechanism to identify the duplicate files, and then clean them up in an automated way. Microsoft OneDrive could check for the duplicate files which are exactly the same and give recommendations in terms of, which one to delete, to allow more free space. A type of cleanup function.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."

"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."

"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."

"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."

"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."

"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."

"It helps you keep organized."

More Microsoft OneDrive pros

"There is not just one valuable feature; it is all of them working together."

"It has good integration with other MS products."

"The workflow feature is valuable because it enables us to cascade responsibilities."

"The metadata services, the WCF service integration and the Voxel feature are three most valuable elements of this solution."

"I do like the collaboration around documents. The versioning history has proven useful in some instances as well."

"We can now share to team members by MS Teams and assign planners to follow and update statuses in a single platform."

"Ability to store files of any type."

"The product provides flexibility in collaboration."

More SharePoint pros

Cons

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."

"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."

"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."

"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."

"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."

"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."

"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."

More Microsoft OneDrive cons

"The solution lacks collaboration features."

"The areas of this solution that need improvement are the relationships between lists, cross-site web parts, and page-building tools."

"Needs improvement on the user interface."

"More hints and make it more user-customizable."

"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."

"The management of the product/back-end is complex."

"When you are trying to migrate from a different platform to SharePoint for file storage, the upload utility should be more flexible, taking more files and then updating you on the upload status of the files you are trying to transfer into SharePoint."

"I would like it to be more compliant with global regulations. There are certain features which could be included that currently are not there, such as compliance and record management capabilities."

More SharePoint cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business. It allows us to share documents without the need of extra hardware."

"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."

"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."

"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."

"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."

"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."

"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."

"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."

"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."

"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."

"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
