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's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"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."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It helps you keep organized."
"Ability to share documents."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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