Room For Improvement

FileCloud should simplify setup, improve documentation, modernize the interface, enhance features, and strengthen integrations for better user experience.
OneDrive for Business users seek improved file syncing, user interface, security, scalability, and integration with AI and automation.
Core functionality is strong, but when something breaks, especially in sync edge cases or client behavior, the root cause analysis can take longer than ideal.

FileCloud could be improved by providing easier access to set up drive mount on a Mac without requiring other applications to make it function equivalently to Fuse.
Program Specialist at AXA
Customer support should always be responsive and proactive twenty-four seven.

If the asset owner can get some analytics of things, or a dashboard which is more top-level or high-level in terms of asset downloads and if there is a more collaborative platform in terms of engagement, more similar to Notion, would be nice for Microsoft OneDrive for Business suite of products.
Product Manager For Marketing And Strategy at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I have experience with multiple version controls, including Git, TFS (Team Foundation Server), and GitHub.
Student at a media company with 501-1,000 employees
Microsoft OneDrive for Business currently lacks AI integration for management and collaboration, which is an area of interest for me.

Software Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.
PramodChaudharyDarwha - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at TCS
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.
