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."
"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."
"I recommend Microsoft OneDrive to others because everyone in my office uses it, the Microsoft products are in my environment, we use Microsoft, and all my customers use Microsoft, many people use Microsoft, and it is a universal tool, which is what other options may lack."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft OneDrive is that internet access is all you need."
"One of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it synchronizes the information with the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"The advantage with Microsoft OneDrive for Business storage is that wherever you are, your data is available on that machine, so your work effectively moves to the other machine once it is saved in Microsoft OneDrive for Business."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business has been a solid platform, but sometimes when dealing with larger files or folders, synchronization is not as perfect or as real-time as it could be."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"SharePoint is useless."
"One of the things that I find to be challenging about Microsoft OneDrive for Business, specifically working with Windows eleven, is that it automatically tries to sync up accounts."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive and user friendly."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
