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."
"We have been able to save around 600 million Naira in staff costs on cloud and on-premise storage."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft OneDrive is that internet access is all you need."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable."
"The best thing about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is its shared part—for Microsoft OneDrive for Business, we can share folder labels as well as specific files, which is the best feature that I would recommend."
"My advice to others is that since Microsoft OneDrive for Business is portable, you can access it anywhere from any devices if you have an account with Microsoft."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"Well, compared to some other products, there is a lot of room for improvements."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"Regarding Microsoft OneDrive for Business's versioning control, sometimes there are syncing problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"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."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"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."
"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."
