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's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"It helps you keep organized."
"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."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"Using this software, it has had an amazing impact moneywise on our business."
"What I appreciate about Microsoft OneDrive is that internet access is all you need."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is easier to use because it has all the tools integrated with SharePoint and Teams, and Microsoft Office is already inside the office, making it the least problematic to implement."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very stable and very good."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive and user friendly."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"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."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The user interface of Microsoft OneDrive for Business could be improved."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
 

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."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"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."
