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."
"The integration between all Microsoft products is a key advantage to OneDrive."
"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."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"When we were sharing through it, it was a great tool for that purpose."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is easier to use because it has all the tools integrated with SharePoint and Teams, and Microsoft Office is already inside the office, making it the least problematic to implement."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"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 interface could be more clean and more user-friendly."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"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, and there were also numerous problems when using Mac."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"For Microsoft OneDrive for Business, something which would really be helpful is something which would help with Outlook email automation."
"The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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