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

"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."
"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."
"Some of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are the ability to ensure automatic saving, as 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 integration aspect is very impressive; I love that I can share and appreciate the whole aspect of the product."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it, as it is the backend of our Office 365 and stores all of their data and files transparently while they use applications like SharePoint, Teams, and OneNote."
"Document sharing and updating has become twenty to thirty percent faster after adopting Microsoft OneDrive for Business, which has improved collaborations and reduced rework and de-duplication of files."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents is very easy to do and there's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"I believe Microsoft OneDrive could be enhanced with a better user interface."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"My experience with technical support from Microsoft has been rather poor."
"The interface could be more clean and more user-friendly."
"When referring to the beginning, I mean more than 10 years ago; we used to have problems with losing connections and files due to synchronization issues between the local and cloud file systems, and there were also numerous problems when using Mac."
"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."
"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."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
