"The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document."
"The solution's most valuable features is its document management. It allows sharing with external users and integrates well with Office apps and Microsoft Flow."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."

"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."
"The product is behind in development and lacks some features."
"The product could be improved by accommodating different technologies, particularly integration."
"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."
"The ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF."
"The solution needs to have more flexibility. The classic version had more flexibility, however, the modern version has many more limitations."
"The solution needs to enable better sharing capabilities between users and external users. Several users also have problems with linking their emails to their Microsoft account."
"The GUI is outdated."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"The area that can be improved is to be able to share easily with folks outside the organization and with folks who don't have an office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The technical support is really very bad."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
