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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All of our different repositories of documents, like SharePoint and Box, were linked to Workspaces to ensure that sharing content was monitored, controlled, and secure."
"The most valuable features are the ability to revoke rights after sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"Some of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are the ability to ensure automatic saving, as I've been in IT for over thirty years and have seen plenty of times when people forgot to hit file save and lost data, and having this automatically saved constantly is a very nice feature set."
"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."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"It helps you keep organized."
"Document sharing and updating has become twenty to thirty percent faster after adopting Microsoft OneDrive for Business, which has improved collaborations and reduced rework and de-duplication of files."
"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format."
"The advantage with Microsoft OneDrive for Business storage is that wherever you are, your data is available on that machine, so your work effectively moves to the other machine once it is saved in Microsoft OneDrive for Business."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"If you are using it strictly for your local machines — as a sole backup — it is not a good idea."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"It has problems if you want to store big files; this problem is not present in Google Drive or Dropbox."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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