Microsoft OneDrive for Business Reviews

My use cases include storing my company data to my personal drive, and I can use it as my personal drive so that I can save it as a shared drive for saving my personal data as well as my company data. Whenever my data is required to be shared personally, whenever my company data needs to be saved personally, I need to share it on the shared drive. I can download it to the local drive, and apart from that, all the other details regarding my personal work stuff are shared on Microsoft OneDrive for Business. We don't have admin credentials for saving the data on C drive, so I save it on Microsoft OneDrive for Business and put the environmental credentials for that in the C drive.

What I value most about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is the network sharing and the data recovery. Whenever data gets deleted, it will be recovered from the recycle bin and will be available for 30 days. That's a valuable feature.

The user interface of Microsoft OneDrive for Business could be improved. The user interface needs to be taken care of because it is difficult for us to identify where the SharePoint files are located and where the other things are. Improvements are necessary, and hyperlinks need to be provided for each and every file so that it will be easier for people to segregate the things.

Regarding scalability, the default space needs to be improved. It should be increased for the free version users, making it more reachable to many people, as the free version provides lesser space for the users.

The initial setup and deployment of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are easy to do. However, sometimes it won't launch. By default, I make it a default app while starting the system, but there are times when it won't launch. I have to run a command for that, and there's a shortcut command for me. I need to change the registry settings to zero or one; if Microsoft OneDrive for Business is not starting by default, I have to go to the registry settings and change that from zero to one or one to zero. This aspect can be difficult for users.

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for Business for six or seven years.

I find the stability of Microsoft OneDrive for Business to be pretty good. I haven't faced any issues with Microsoft OneDrive for Business yet.

Regarding scalability, I think it's good, but the default space needs to be improved. It should be increased for the free version users, making it more reachable to many people, as the free version provides lesser space for the users.

The initial setup and deployment of Microsoft OneDrive for Business are easy to do.

I absolutely recommend Microsoft OneDrive for Business to other people.

My advice to others is that since Microsoft OneDrive for Business is portable, you can access it anywhere from any devices if you have an account with Microsoft. It is secure, and no one can hack anything on your Microsoft OneDrive for Business. You can access it from any device, anywhere, any place, if you have the internet.

I use Microsoft OneDrive for all activities at the university, for education, research, and administrative purposes.

We use Nextcloud service similar to Microsoft OneDrive for the same purpose.

I am still using Nextcloud today because this is a disadvantage of Microsoft OneDrive. We have limited storage, and the storage price is quite high for us, so we started to use another service implemented on our own servers. This is an on-premise service where the storage is cheaper. If we do not want advanced functionalities to share documents, we rather use Nextcloud to store large volumes of data.

The best features in Microsoft OneDrive are that it makes the files available from around the world, so users are not tied to a computer. Files can be accessed from any device in the world.

Sharing files among users in Microsoft OneDrive is important.

The integration of Microsoft OneDrive with Office 365 is very important to get the possibility to edit files from OneDrive, also with desktop packages because we use desktop packages.

Version control in Microsoft OneDrive is rather not used or important, perhaps because we have not promoted this functionality extensively.

It would be nice to have the possibility to sign documents with a qualified digital signature in Microsoft OneDrive. I know that SharePoint and Microsoft OneDrive can be used to sign documents with services such as DocuSign, but we mostly use qualified digital signatures stored not in a cloud service but on a user's card or tokens. We have no possibility to sign with such technology.

We have been using Microsoft OneDrive for six to seven years.

Microsoft OneDrive is rather stable.

This is not a limitation in scalability for Microsoft OneDrive, but a limitation in our budget. We have the possibility to buy any volume of storage if we have the funds.

The solution is scalable.

My experience with technical support from Microsoft has been rather poor.

As administrators, when we make a request, we need very advanced help. Very often, we have to make many iterations with the first-line people who do not have enough knowledge to solve our problem. We need a lot of time to be transferred to a competent person.

Positive

It seems to be easy to install Microsoft OneDrive.

I still work with SAP and Microsoft, but I'm not the appropriate person to discuss the SAP system as another unit administers this system.

We use both SAP and Microsoft separately. We are using Microsoft products such as Microsoft 365 cloud, mostly for email, and of course Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. These are the basic services at Microsoft 365. We do not use Azure services at this moment.

We are using educational licenses for Microsoft OneDrive, so we appreciate the educational prices for this service.

We have Microsoft OneDrive on the public cloud.

The main aspects that should be addressed are support issues, limited storage, and the feature for signing documents with a qualified digital signature.

I am the Director of IT. We are starting with InTune, so we do not have extensive experience with it. We do not use any Azure products such as Virtual Desktops.

Overall rating for Microsoft OneDrive: 9 out of 10.

I work in the aviation industry. In the office, I use Microsoft OneDrive for documentation purposes, storing data, and sharing with people.

Microsoft OneDrive's version control impacts my document management; it's seamless to me. I haven't seen much difference, so it's in the back end.

Some of the most valuable features are the way it's easily accessible and usable for everyone. The interface is good, and the UI is well-designed.

Microsoft OneDrive's version control impacts my document management; it's seamless to me. I haven't seen much difference, so it's in the back end.

The integration with other Microsoft products enhances its utility 100% because we are all Microsoft.

I am integrating Microsoft OneDrive with other solutions such as SharePoint and Teams; it's integrated everywhere.

There isn't much to improve regarding the product except for continued fine-tuning. If you're looking for integrations with AI, I think there are already integrations, but I haven't explored them, so I can't say much.

They could continue to improve AI integration, as they're already doing it.

They could have more seamless integration with AI.

I have more than five years of experience with Microsoft OneDrive.

Microsoft OneDrive is very stable; I haven't seen any issues on my side.

Regarding scalability, Microsoft OneDrive is pretty scalable; everyone in the industry is using it.

My experience with Microsoft support has been amazing; I have been to all-day workshops and studios with Microsoft.

I would rate them a 10 on a scale of one to ten; they have been very much involved, and the support people are easier to reach out to.

The initial setup of Microsoft OneDrive is very straightforward; it was not complex.

Microsoft OneDrive brings a standard return on investment for us. It's not a matter of comparing it with alternatives to do an ROI or business case. It's a standard that we have been using across the organization.

I have been to all-day workshops and studios with Microsoft.

I work for a very large corporation with approximately 20,000 users.

I am integrating Microsoft OneDrive with other solutions such as SharePoint and Teams; it's integrated everywhere.

We are in the process of utilizing AI with Microsoft OneDrive, but we can't share much information. We are doing a POC currently.

I would recommend Microsoft OneDrive to others.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft OneDrive a 10.

I use Microsoft OneDrive for Business for synchronization of different projects and my own drafts.

OpenText is more related to compliance and regulation, so they have better tools in terms of safeguarding the life cycle of records, security, and synchronization with record management to make sure retention schedules are kept up to date. For organizations that are heavily regulated, that would be an offering in terms of compliance and regulation.

The sharing and co-authoring features in Microsoft 365 are the main valuable features.

Document control is basic to ensure everybody is working with the ultimate source of truth.

The viewer with redaction and annotations is pretty good, and document generation is useful.

First-level support quality needs improvement.

When discussing record management and highly compliant organizations, OpenText has an advantage in that space, not only in Microsoft OneDrive for Business but also with SharePoint.

The technical support for the whole Microsoft suite could be improved.

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for Business for more than five years.

I have done integrations from Microsoft OneDrive for Business and encountered normal technical issues, but nothing major.

So far, it is behaving satisfactorily. I do not have major concerns about it.

At a high level, the technical support by Microsoft is rated at 7 out of 10.

The quality of service varies. Sometimes it is very good, sometimes it is not as good. It depends on the person providing support.

The main challenge with technical support stems from the complexity of the product.

Positive

I still work with OpenText.

I have worked with many similar products, including Google Drive, Dropbox, OpenText, CoreShare, and others.

The initial setup was straightforward.

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.

Integrating with third-party solutions has been smooth. We have completed a couple of integrations without experiencing significant issues.

I am happy to recommend Microsoft OneDrive for Business. There is substantial help available on Microsoft sites.

As a synchronization tool and offline tool, it serves its purpose. I do not have specific feature requests for Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

I use it personally as well. The solution can be complex to deal with at times.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft OneDrive for Business an 8.

I can describe some of the use cases for Microsoft OneDrive. We use SharePoint to store projects that we run. In the last 10 years, we have approximately 400 projects that we run with the industry. I use it because I don't prefer the web interface to see documents, Excel, and other kinds of files. I prefer to use Microsoft OneDrive and to map files on my machine locally. Some files I download and use locally.

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. It's easy for me, and I prefer to use this solution.

The version control is acceptable, though I don't use it extensively. I appreciate the feature in SharePoint where it's difficult to permanently delete a file, as you can always recover files very easily.

There are areas that could be improved in my opinion. At the beginning, it had numerous problems, but nowadays, I have no suggestions for improvement. I think it's working very effectively and for my use cases is very good.

I have utilized Microsoft OneDrive for 10 years or more.

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. There were also numerous problems when using Mac. However, these issues occurred long ago.

I would rate the support with Microsoft for their Microsoft OneDrive as fine since I haven't used support at all. I have never reached out to Microsoft for anything, including their customer service.

Positive

On a scale of one to ten, the ease to set up Microsoft OneDrive is 10. It's quite easy to have it working.

I still have experience with different Microsoft products, primarily the same applications. I use some Windows solutions, mainly Excel, Word, and similar applications. I use Copilot occasionally.

We use Skype and Microsoft OneDrive, and we use SharePoint extensively. Microsoft OneDrive is integrated into our SharePoint usage.

Regarding their documentation or knowledge base online, sometimes it's not easily accessible, particularly for SharePoint. However, nowadays, Copilot can help find solutions for problems that need to be solved.

Regarding pricing for Microsoft OneDrive, we are a public organization, so we don't incur any costs.

The integration capabilities are excellent, rating 10 out of 10. It works perfectly. The integration is quite good.

Microsoft OneDrive is not currently supporting any AI initiatives for data handling. We plan to use Copilot in that sense, but we haven't started yet.

I rate Microsoft OneDrive 10 out of 10.

We use Microsoft OneDrive for sharing information with others in the company. Sharing information is our primary use case.

One benefit of Microsoft OneDrive is the shared information feature. Another benefit is that you can share information across multiple devices, not just on one device.

I am unable to provide information about how Microsoft OneDrive impacts my company positively.

I don't have any areas that could be improved with Microsoft OneDrive at this moment.

I have used this product for three years.

Microsoft OneDrive is a stable product.

On a scale from one to ten, it rates as a nine in stability.

I would rate Microsoft OneDrive's scalability as a nine.

I don't need support and have never reached out to Microsoft customer service because the Microsoft products are friendly and easy to use.

Positive

It is not complex; Microsoft OneDrive is easy to set up.

I don't know the pricing for Microsoft OneDrive as I am just an end user. In my company, another person manages this, so I don't have access to pricing information.

I rate it eight because there are other similar options in the market. In my case, I have more experience with Microsoft OneDrive as it was my first option.

I am not familiar with the version control feature of Microsoft OneDrive and how it impacts document management.

I don't use the documentation for Microsoft OneDrive; I installed it on my laptop and find it very intuitive and friendly.

In my case, the integration of Microsoft OneDrive with other Microsoft products is just for saving information. I don't use Excel or SharePoint or any other Microsoft products.

I don't need Microsoft OneDrive to support AI initiatives or artificial intelligence.

I recommend Microsoft OneDrive to others because everyone in my office uses it. The Microsoft products are in my environment. We use Microsoft, and all my customers use Microsoft. Many people use Microsoft, and it is a universal tool, which is what other options may lack.

I rate Microsoft OneDrive an eight out of ten.

We are resellers and our clients use Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that it is included in the standard Office 365 subscription at no additional cost, unlike other drives such as Google Drive.

The cloud drive functionality helps synchronize files between devices, which saves significant time and effort.

When dealing with complicated folder structures or file names, there can be issues when migrating data from local storage or another vendor. Users need to run scripts to simplify names or adjust lengths. However, working directly with the drive is straightforward and trouble-free.

I have been using Microsoft OneDrive for Business for about four years.

After installing the application and logging in with a Microsoft account, the process is quite straightforward.

Microsoft OneDrive for Business is quite stable. We do not have any issues.

The solution is scalable, especially when accompanied with SharePoint.

Technical support from Microsoft deserves a rating of eight out of ten.

Positive

I personally have not used other solutions, though some of my colleagues have experience with alternatives.

The initial setup of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is straightforward. After installing the application and logging in with a Microsoft account, the process is simple.

There has been a clear return on investment through time savings and improved efficiency. The cloud drive helps synchronize files between devices, which saves considerable time and effort.

I have not personally used other solutions, though some colleagues have experience with alternatives.

Microsoft OneDrive for Business offers AI features for automated sorting and predictive file organization, though these require an additional annual subscription fee.

I would recommend Microsoft OneDrive for Business to other users.

Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

We have used Microsoft OneDrive in our company for the last two years since I've been there. On a personal level, I don't use it extensively. If I'm going to use anything, I use our SharePoint where we store all of our documents.

It's a small business with 20 people. We operate across various sectors, but our main industry is aviation.

The best aspect of Microsoft OneDrive is that it automatically saves all work, so users never have to worry about anything disappearing, which prevents huge headaches. It also provides a central place for everyone to access anything and everything that the company has to offer.

Since we use Microsoft for pretty much everything, it's essential that Microsoft OneDrive integrates with all the other products, which I appreciate.

I believe Microsoft OneDrive could be enhanced with a better user interface. Overall, everything related to the user interface could be improved.

We have used Microsoft OneDrive in our company for the last two years since I've been there.

I have never had to deal with Microsoft's support.

It is relatively easy and straightforward to use SharePoint.

We sometimes go back and use Microsoft OneDrive to revert changes that were made or recover things that were deleted in the past. It is quite useful.

I have never had to deal with Microsoft's support.

I have never had to deal with Microsoft's support.

Negative

I am not certain about Microsoft OneDrive's history at our company. When I arrived, everything was already set up.

I am not certain about Microsoft OneDrive's history at our company. When I arrived, everything was already set up.

Nothing comes to mind regarding the documentation that is available or any experience with the knowledge base for solving issues.

If someone were asking for something specific, Microsoft OneDrive would be something that came to mind to recommend. While I'm not enthusiastic about recommending it, I would suggest giving it a try if they needed something similar.

It is mainly going to be SharePoint that we use.

I would need to be on my laptop to provide more specific details.

I am not familiar with how Microsoft OneDrive is supporting any AI initiatives, such as automated tagging or searching by image.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft OneDrive a 7.

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 OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth. 

I've used OneDrive for about four or five years.

I haven't had any issues with OneDrive so far. 

Setting up OneDrive is straightforward and can be completed in under 15 minutes. 

OneDrive's price could always be cheaper, but I think it's fair. 

We looked at other options, but OneDrive offered the best compatibility across mobile devices. It's easy to move back and forth between any mobile device and a PC. It's easy to use on the go. 

I rate Microsoft OneDrive 10 out of 10. I would recommend it. 

The primary use of Microsoft OneDrive Enterprise is for our file repository and file sharing.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription. 

The scalability has room for improvement.

The annual cost of the solution is expensive and can be improved.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The solution is extremely stable.

We have over 3,000 people using the solution and we have plans to increase the usage as our employee population grows. 

I don't believe the solution is scalable.

I believe the initial setup is complex because another team is handling the implementation.

The deployment took a week to complete and it was on a per-group basis.

The implementation was completed by a reseller.

The licensing is expensive and on a yearly basis.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

We require three Microsoft Certified professionals to maintain the solution.

I recommend the solution to others.
