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."
"It helps you keep organized."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"The integration with other Microsoft products enhances its utility 100% because we are all Microsoft."
"The best features in Microsoft OneDrive are that it makes the files available from around the world, so users are not tied to a computer."
"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."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"The ability to share documents is a valuable feature of this product."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"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."
"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."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"The technical support is really very bad."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"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."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"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."
