Positive features enhance collaboration but room for improvement in file syncing
Regarding Microsoft OneDrive for Business's versioning control, sometimes there are syncing problems. Microsoft OneDrive for Business is available on the cloud as well as on my local machine. When we put a file in Microsoft OneDrive for Business on the local machine, it takes some time to sync, and sometimes it gives an error, which is a specific issue I have encountered. If Microsoft works on the syncing part of Microsoft OneDrive for Business, it would greatly enhance its functionality. Sometimes we update a file, and it isn't showing on another end, which requires us to run a sync again for it to appear. That part, if addressed by Microsoft, would be great. I love SharePoint more, so I will provide feedback in relation to that. SharePoint has only one folder, and we must create multiple folders within that to store files. If they introduce a categorized option, similar to SharePoint where we have team site differentiators, and options for creating communication sites, that would be fantastic for Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"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."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"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 was extremely easy to setup."
"My advice to others is that since Microsoft OneDrive for Business is portable, you can access it anywhere from any devices if you have an account with Microsoft."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"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."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
