Collaborative work has transformed team retrospectives and now saves us major planning time
I do not think that there is any improvement needed in Microsoft OneDrive for Business because a lot of features are already provided in the package that we have purchased, and we do not have anything that would be improved as of now. Speed-wise, Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very fast. Sometimes I think the auto-save feature of the things that we edit should also work in offline mode for some time, because once we get disconnected, I sometimes feel that the Excel or the Word document is trying to connect to Microsoft OneDrive for Business and trying to save it, but somehow the sessions expire. I sometimes want this to not happen. It can reconnect to the server when connection is up, but I can still work on the document.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 sending the document, and shoulder browsing protection."
"The integration between all Microsoft products is a key advantage to OneDrive."
"So far, OneDrive has been very good for us."
"Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very stable and very good."
"The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable."
"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 helps you keep organized."
"When we were sharing through it, it was a great tool for that purpose."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see workflow implementation, as well as a lite version for non-business users."
"Performance is an issue when sharing a large number of files in a single folder."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"My experience with technical support from Microsoft has been rather poor."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"When referring to the beginning, I mean more than 10 years ago; we used to have problems with losing connections and files due to synchronization issues between the local and cloud file systems, and there were also numerous problems when using Mac."
"Technical support is not very impressive and is typical of large company software support."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"OneDrive comes with Microsoft 365 so it is just an added part of that package."
"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."
"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."
"This is a pricy solution, given that we are only using it at 50% capacity."
"Costwise, it is a great option. In most cases, it is a free space, which will be more than enough for most customers."
"The price of Microsoft OneDrive is reasonable and compatible with competitors."
