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 ability to share documents is a valuable feature of this product."
"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 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."
"Because of this, we have saved 80% of our team's time."
"The backup capability is one feature I love about OneDrive. I also like how it syncs when you're working offline. Everything is updated once you connect again."
"Image management is great since the search is simple, and accessing images with labels is easy."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"The integration with other Microsoft products enhances its utility 100% because we are all Microsoft."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"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."
"I believe Microsoft OneDrive could be enhanced with a better user interface."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"They were terrible for support after COVID hit."
"Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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