Collaborative work has transformed team retrospectives and now saves us major planning time
I do not think that there is any improvement needed in Microsoft OneDrive for Business because a lot of features are already provided in the package that we have purchased, and we do not have anything that would be improved as of now. Speed-wise, Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very fast. Sometimes I think the auto-save feature of the things that we edit should also work in offline mode for some time, because once we get disconnected, I sometimes feel that the Excel or the Word document is trying to connect to Microsoft OneDrive for Business and trying to save it, but somehow the sessions expire. I sometimes want this to not happen. It can reconnect to the server when connection is up, but I can still work on the document.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure."
"The advice I would give people considering OneDrive starts with the fact that everybody can use it."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"It helps you keep organized."
"The ability to share documents is a valuable feature of this product."
"The best aspect of Microsoft OneDrive is that it automatically saves all work, so users never have to worry about anything disappearing, which prevents huge headaches."
"When we were sharing through it, it was a great tool for that purpose."
"The best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are its continuous improvement in terms of cloud capabilities, security features, and user experience as it's enhancing every day compared to the past."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an account, such as Microsoft Office account."
"For Microsoft OneDrive for Business, something which would really be helpful is something which would help with Outlook email automation."
"Well, compared to some other products, there is a lot of room for improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"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."
