Long-term data security and automatic saving features improve efficiency with smooth setup and deployment processes
Some of the best features of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are the ability to ensure automatic saving. 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 synchronization capabilities of Microsoft OneDrive for Business certainly support my work as it is handy if you're concerned about people writing data on their local PCs and the laptops getting stolen or crashing, to have it sync everything up to your Microsoft OneDrive for Business account so that you're not having to worry about backing up locally. You try to make sure that people are putting things in the right folder to ensure they'll get backed up. Before using Microsoft OneDrive for Business, we were actually storing things locally and had shared folders or home folders out on the network. They made the change to Microsoft OneDrive for Business because they wanted to put it out in the cloud and get better performance, automatic backups, and all the rest of it.

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 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 was extremely easy to setup."
"It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."
"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's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"It's quite easy to use and then of course it is quite well integrated to the rest of Office 365."
"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"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 scalability has room for improvement."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
"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."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"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."
"The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis."
"It is free if you are using Office 365, and you get a terabyte of storage with your account."
"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."
