I love the backup capabilities and the offline sync
We use OneDrive to share documents throughout the organization and collaborate. It is also used for backups.  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. It takes too long for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"They have support for integration with a lot of tools."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"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."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"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."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
 

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings."
"The user interface could be a little more intuitive."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"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 security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files."
"Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
"The technical support is really very bad."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's cheaper compared to similar products available"
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"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."
"We pay a lot for the Enterprise version, but it is a premium service."
"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."

"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
