A great collaboration service for small organizations

The synchronization should be simplified. Other solutions like Dropbox and OneDrive have apps. I tried using the mobile version, but it didn't work properly, that needs to be improved. It was cumbersome. It's a good solution for a small organization like ours, but it really depends on your use-cases and the size of your organization. I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app. It was challenging to even download it and once I did, I wasn't even able to log into my system. The mobile app needs to improved for easy use.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."

"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."

"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."

"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."

"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."

"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."

"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."

"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."

"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."

"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
