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."
"Ability to share documents."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it, as it is the backend of our Office 365 and stores all of their data and files transparently while they use applications like SharePoint, Teams, and OneNote."
"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."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very stable and very good."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"The user interface of Microsoft OneDrive for Business could be improved."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"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 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."
"For Microsoft OneDrive for Business, something which would really be helpful is something which would help with Outlook email automation."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
 

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."

"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"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."
