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."
"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 integration with other Microsoft products enhances its utility 100% because we are all Microsoft."
"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."
"This product helps me a lot, together with latest version of Office 365, to collaborate a little bit more instead of sending huge attachments via email to 10 colleagues etc."
"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 feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"The advice I would give people considering OneDrive starts with the fact that everybody can use it."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"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."
"The user interface sometimes fails and when it cannot connect, it does not give the reason why."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program."
"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."
"If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members."
 

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."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"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."
"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."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
