Microsoft OneDrive for Business Reviews

I can describe some of the use cases for Microsoft OneDrive. We use SharePoint to store projects that we run. In the last 10 years, we have approximately 400 projects that we run with the industry. I use it because I don't prefer the web interface to see documents, Excel, and other kinds of files. I prefer to use Microsoft OneDrive and to map files on my machine locally. Some files I download and use locally.

Some of the best features I appreciate most about Microsoft OneDrive are the simplicity to map different kinds of SharePoint files that are stored in the cloud. It's easy for me, and I prefer to use this solution.

The version control is acceptable, though I don't use it extensively. I appreciate the feature in SharePoint where it's difficult to permanently delete a file, as you can always recover files very easily.

There are areas that could be improved in my opinion. At the beginning, it had numerous problems, but nowadays, I have no suggestions for improvement. I think it's working very effectively and for my use cases is very good.

I have utilized Microsoft OneDrive for 10 years or more.

When referring to the beginning, I mean more than 10 years ago. We used to have problems with losing connections and files due to synchronization issues between the local and cloud file systems. There were also numerous problems when using Mac. However, these issues occurred long ago.

I would rate the support with Microsoft for their Microsoft OneDrive as fine since I haven't used support at all. I have never reached out to Microsoft for anything, including their customer service.

Positive

On a scale of one to ten, the ease to set up Microsoft OneDrive is 10. It's quite easy to have it working.

I still have experience with different Microsoft products, primarily the same applications. I use some Windows solutions, mainly Excel, Word, and similar applications. I use Copilot occasionally.

We use Skype and Microsoft OneDrive, and we use SharePoint extensively. Microsoft OneDrive is integrated into our SharePoint usage.

Regarding their documentation or knowledge base online, sometimes it's not easily accessible, particularly for SharePoint. However, nowadays, Copilot can help find solutions for problems that need to be solved.

Regarding pricing for Microsoft OneDrive, we are a public organization, so we don't incur any costs.

The integration capabilities are excellent, rating 10 out of 10. It works perfectly. The integration is quite good.

Microsoft OneDrive is not currently supporting any AI initiatives for data handling. We plan to use Copilot in that sense, but we haven't started yet.

I rate Microsoft OneDrive 10 out of 10.

Microsoft OneDrive for Business meets scalability needs for my clients, depending on the size of their organization and infrastructure setup, and it has definitely improved a lot compared to a few years ago.

My experience with Microsoft OneDrive for Business is extensive as I use it personally and with the client's location workplace, related for more than 10 years, having started when it was initially named Skydrive, so I have been using this cloud service of Microsoft for around 15 years now.

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 synchronization capabilities of Microsoft OneDrive for Business support my work much better now than before, and I would rate the current status of synchronization a four out of five based on my experience.

In the next release of Microsoft OneDrive for Business, I see the need for improvement in resource utilization, as there are many applications that take away memory and processing power, and I hope they can incorporate more capable search criteria for better organization, especially since sometimes the folders on my mobile versus my laptop do not align properly.

Microsoft OneDrive for Business currently lacks AI integration for management and collaboration, which is an area of interest for me, and I have ideas on it but will share them when I get paid.

I have been using this cloud service of Microsoft for around 15 years now.

The maintenance required for Microsoft OneDrive for Business is okay, but I find it resource-intensive and not very user-friendly.

I would rate the stability of Microsoft OneDrive for Business an eight out of ten as it has improved significantly since I started using it from the very initial days of Skydrive.

I would rate the setup of Microsoft OneDrive for Business an eight out of ten in terms of user experience, but I definitely see a lot of scope for improvement in general.

Regarding pricing for Microsoft OneDrive for Business, I am absolutely happy with whatever price I am paying since I was locked into a very good deal from the beginning.

Cost efficiency with Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very subjective, as it depends on individual charges and circumstances; from a client perspective, I sometimes advise C-level executives that it can seem a little expensive, so it varies case by case.

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.

I absolutely recommend Microsoft OneDrive for Business to other businesses, but it always depends on how they bundle their services since businesses always look to cut costs.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft OneDrive for Business an 8.5 out of ten because while it has certain loose ends, it is definitely good.

We are resellers and our clients use Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it is included in the standard Office 365 subscription at no additional cost, unlike other drives such as Google Drive.

The cloud drive functionality helps synchronize files between devices, which saves significant time and effort.

When dealing with complicated folder structures or file names, there can be issues when migrating data from local storage or another vendor. Users need to run scripts to simplify names or adjust lengths. However, working directly with the drive is straightforward and trouble-free.

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for Business for about four years.

After installing the application and logging in with a Microsoft account, the process is quite straightforward.

Microsoft OneDrive for Business is quite stable. We do not have any issues.

The solution is scalable, especially when accompanied with SharePoint.

Technical support from Microsoft deserves a rating of eight out of ten.

I personally have not used other solutions, though some of my colleagues have experience with alternatives.

The initial setup of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is straightforward. After installing the application and logging in with a Microsoft account, the process is simple.

There has been a clear return on investment through time savings and improved efficiency. The cloud drive helps synchronize files between devices, which saves considerable time and effort.

I have not personally used other solutions, though some colleagues have experience with alternatives.

Microsoft OneDrive for Business offers AI features for automated sorting and predictive file organization, though these require an additional annual subscription fee.

I would recommend Microsoft OneDrive for Business to other users.

Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

For sharing documents and having a cloud, I use Microsoft OneDrive, and the whole dynamics, the environment, so that everyone can share the same links and all of that.

The connectivity in Microsoft OneDrive is excellent; the fact that we can link everything is valuable, and it's very fast as well. I'm unsure if that has anything to do with the product or the internet, but it's notably fast.

The connectivity with different integrations in Office 365 is particularly useful.

The integration aspect is very impressive; I love that I can share and appreciate the whole aspect of the product. It's very easy to extract information from one format to another format and use it in different parts of documents or files.

The interface could be more clean and more user-friendly. Though it's already user-friendly, there's still room for improvement.

The only issue is that the interface could be more user-friendly.

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for probably four years.

It's easy to install and set up.

It's stable; I don't see any glitches or performance issues.

Microsoft OneDrive is a scalable solution.

I am happy with the support, but there is always room for improvement.

I'm satisfied with the service.

Positive

Google Drive functions in a similar way.

I prefer Microsoft OneDrive because it's integrated into your computer and device. I don't prefer the experience with Google Drive where it's only in one space on the internet. I appreciate being able to download it to my device if necessary.

It's easy to install and set up.

I wouldn't want to see new features in the product. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft OneDrive a 9 out of 10.

We have used Microsoft OneDrive in our company for the last two years since I've been there. On a personal level, I don't use it extensively. If I'm going to use anything, I use our SharePoint where we store all of our documents.

It's a small business with 20 people. We operate across various sectors, but our main industry is aviation.

The best aspect of Microsoft OneDrive is that it automatically saves all work, so users never have to worry about anything disappearing, which prevents huge headaches. It also provides a central place for everyone to access anything and everything that the company has to offer.

Since we use Microsoft for pretty much everything, it's essential that Microsoft OneDrive integrates with all the other products, which I appreciate.

I believe Microsoft OneDrive could be enhanced with a better user interface. Overall, everything related to the user interface could be improved.

We have used Microsoft OneDrive in our company for the last two years since I've been there.

I have never had to deal with Microsoft's support.

It is relatively easy and straightforward to use SharePoint.

We sometimes go back and use Microsoft OneDrive to revert changes that were made or recover things that were deleted in the past. It is quite useful.

I have never had to deal with Microsoft's support.

Negative

I am not certain about Microsoft OneDrive's history at our company. When I arrived, everything was already set up.

I am not certain about Microsoft OneDrive's history at our company. When I arrived, everything was already set up.

Nothing comes to mind regarding the documentation that is available or any experience with the knowledge base for solving issues.

If someone were asking for something specific, Microsoft OneDrive would be something that came to mind to recommend. While I'm not enthusiastic about recommending it, I would suggest giving it a try if they needed something similar.

It is mainly going to be SharePoint that we use.

I would need to be on my laptop to provide more specific details.

I am not familiar with how Microsoft OneDrive is supporting any AI initiatives, such as automated tagging or searching by image.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft OneDrive a 7.

We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups. 

The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again.

It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth. 

I've used OneDrive for about four or five years.

I haven't had any issues with OneDrive so far. 

Setting up OneDrive is straightforward and can be completed in under 15 minutes. 

OneDrive's price could always be cheaper, but I think it's fair. 

We looked at other options, but OneDrive offered the best compatibility across mobile devices. It's easy to move back and forth between any mobile device and a PC. It's easy to use on the go. 

I rate Microsoft OneDrive 10 out of 10. I would recommend it. 

The primary use of Microsoft OneDrive Enterprise is for our file repository and file sharing.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription. 

The scalability has room for improvement.

The annual cost of the solution is expensive and can be improved.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The solution is extremely stable.

We have over 3,000 people using the solution and we have plans to increase the usage as our employee population grows. 

I don't believe the solution is scalable.

I believe the initial setup is complex because another team is handling the implementation.

The deployment took a week to complete and it was on a per-group basis.

The implementation was completed by a reseller.

The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

We require three Microsoft Certified professionals to maintain the solution.

I recommend the solution to others.

Microsoft OneDrive is used for anything and everything I have on my laptop, I backup on it. If I'm shifting to another laptop I can restore the data on that other laptop, the data is very secured. 

Sometimes we share files with each other in a very secure manner. We upload the files onto SharePoint or OneDrive, and then send the secured link to the intended recipient.

Overall the solution is used to backup data.

The main feature of Microsoft OneDrive is backing up data.

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.

There are times when there are some syncing issues. The resolution of the sync issues could be more user-friendly. When you keep on uploading on Microsoft OneDrive, there are a lot of duplicate files which keep adding. There should be some mechanism to identify the duplicate files, and then clean them up in an automated way. Microsoft OneDrive could check for the duplicate files which are exactly the same and give recommendations in terms of, which one to delete, to allow more free space. A type of cleanup function.

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for approximately five years.

The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file.

The scalability of Microsoft OneDrive is not at all a challenge. I used to have 10 GB of storage every year and now, I have increased it to 100 GB because it was done very fast.

We have approximately 40,000 people using this solution in my organization, which is everyone.

I have contacted the support on one occasion. 

I would rate the support of Microsoft OneDrive a five out of five.

The initial setup of Microsoft OneDrive is simple.

The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors.

My advice to others using this solution is don't back up your complete laptop, identify the folders you want to back up and back up only those. Otherwise, you will fill up your storage very quickly. It consumes a lot of data during syncs and other things, be judicious with those decisions.

I rate Microsoft OneDrive a seven out of ten.

I took off three-point for my overall scoring because the solution does not backup .PST files which are important for me.
