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…

Positive features enhance collaboration but room for improvement in file syncing
Regarding Microsoft OneDrive for Business's versioning control, sometimes there are syncing problems. Microsoft OneDrive for Business is available on the cloud as well as on my local machine. When we put a file in Microsoft OneDrive for Business on the local machine, it takes some time to sync, and sometimes it gives an error, which is a specific issue I have encountered. If Microsoft works on the syncing part of Microsoft OneDrive for Business, it would greatly enhance its functionality. Sometimes we update a file, and it isn't showing on another end, which requires us to run a sync again for it to appear. That part, if addressed by Microsoft, would be great. I love SharePoint more, so I will provide feedback in relation to that. SharePoint has only one folder, and we must create multiple folders within that to store files. If they introduce a categorized option, similar to SharePoint where we have team site differentiators, and options for creating communication sites, that would be fantastic for Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

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 best thing about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is its shared part—for Microsoft OneDrive for Business, we can share folder labels as well as specific files, which is the best feature that I would recommend."
"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."
"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 free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"Some of the best features I appreciate most about Microsoft OneDrive are the simplicity to map different kinds of SharePoint files that are stored in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription."
"Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"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."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
"One of the things that I find to be challenging about Microsoft OneDrive for Business, specifically working with Windows eleven, is that it automatically tries to sync up accounts."
"The initial setup is not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"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."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
