Long-term data security and automatic saving features improve efficiency with smooth setup and deployment processes
Some of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are the ability to ensure automatic saving. I've been in IT for over thirty years and have seen plenty of times when people forgot to hit file save and lost data, and having this automatically saved constantly is a very nice feature set. The synchronization capabilities of Microsoft OneDrive for Business certainly support my work as it is handy if you're concerned about people writing data on their local PCs and the laptops getting stolen or crashing, to have it sync everything up to your Microsoft OneDrive for Business account so that you're not having to worry about backing up locally. You try to make sure that people are putting things in the right folder to ensure they'll get backed up. Before using Microsoft OneDrive for Business, we were actually storing things locally and had shared folders or home folders out on the network. They made the change to Microsoft OneDrive for Business because they wanted to put it out in the cloud and get better performance, automatic backups, and all the rest of it.

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."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft OneDrive is that internet access is all you need."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"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."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
