Facilitates monitoring and control of our repositories, but would benefit from the inclusion of workflows
Our primary use case for this solution is secure file sharing 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…

I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync

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."
"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."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"It is well integrated with other Microsoft products."
"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."
"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's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"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 office account. Sometimes, when you send a link, you might have some form of repetition. If you don't know how to share it properly, whoever you are sharing it with will have issues using it. Also, the link that you use to share a document can be made a bit shorter. It doesn't have to be long. Typically, when you want to share a document, it has everything, such as the name of the organization, SharePoint, etc. A short URL will be easier to use, and it will just make life easier, especially because a lot of people are now going mobile. I'm not sure if there's a mobile version of Microsoft OneDrive, similar to Google Drive. If they don't have a mobile app, it would also be nice to have a mobile app because that would help in checking out your documents. It would be easy to check your documents on the go on your phone."
"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."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
