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.

"The best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are its continuous improvement in terms of cloud capabilities, security features, and user experience as it's enhancing every day compared to the past."

"The integration aspect is very impressive; I love that I can share and appreciate the whole aspect of the product."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"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."
"We have been able to save around 600 million Naira in staff costs on cloud and on-premise storage."
 

Cons

"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."
