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."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it, as it is the backend of our Office 365 and stores all of their data and files transparently while they use applications like SharePoint, Teams, and OneNote."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents is very easy to do and there's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"It gives you access to important files from virtually anywhere."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"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's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"When we were sharing through it, it was a great tool for that purpose."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
"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 account, such as Microsoft Office account."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"The interface could be more clean and more user-friendly."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"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."
"The technical support is really very bad."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"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."
"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."
