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."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"Ability to share documents."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very stable and very good."
"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."
"The integration between all Microsoft products is a key advantage to OneDrive."
"One of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it synchronizes the information with the cloud."
"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 access control is really interesting because we have full confidence in that, and it has been really stable; of course, sometimes you have some problems, but that is really not something that we experience every day and that is very important for our company because we have a lot of content to share with other users."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"SharePoint is useless."
"Well, compared to some other products, there is a lot of room for improvements."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"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."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"It has problems if you want to store big files; this problem is not present in Google Drive or Dropbox."
 

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."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"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."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
