Positive features enhance collaboration but room for improvement in file syncing
Regarding Microsoft OneDrive for Business's versioning control, sometimes there are syncing problems. Microsoft OneDrive for Business is available on the cloud as well as on my local machine. When we put a file in Microsoft OneDrive for Business on the local machine, it takes some time to sync, and sometimes it gives an error, which is a specific issue I have encountered. If Microsoft works on the syncing part of Microsoft OneDrive for Business, it would greatly enhance its functionality. Sometimes we update a file, and it isn't showing on another end, which requires us to run a sync again for it to appear. That part, if addressed by Microsoft, would be great. I love SharePoint more, so I will provide feedback in relation to that. SharePoint has only one folder, and we must create multiple folders within that to store files. If they introduce a categorized option, similar to SharePoint where we have team site differentiators, and options for creating communication sites, that would be fantastic for Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"It helps you keep organized."
"The integration with Office 365 makes it much easier for anybody to add the capabilities of file storage."
"We have the Microsoft Office 365 solution and OneDrive is one of the products included."
"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."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it is included in the standard Office 365 subscription at no additional cost, unlike other drives such as Google Drive."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"Well, compared to some other products, there is a lot of room for improvements."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"Microsoft tech support is terrible — everyone knows that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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