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."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"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."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"The integration aspect is very impressive; I love that I can share and appreciate the whole aspect of the product."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"It helps you keep organized."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"Microsoft tech support is terrible — everyone knows that."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"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."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive and user friendly."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"The interface could be more clean and more user-friendly."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
