What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Because OneDrive comes from Microsoft, it works seamlessly with the Office Suite. It's easy to upload items from Microsoft Office and share them with colleagues through OneDrive. The Mobile accessibility and editing options are also helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

OneDrive is not organized efficiently. The search bar often fails to find the document or folder I'm needing, and there is no consistent rhyme nor reason to how things are organized. I also find it slow to update information. Multiple times people on my team, including myself, have had to directly share a document that already existed in a shared folder because it simply would not update the folder for every user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft OneDrive for Business:

If your organization uses the Microsoft Suite already, OneDrive is a valuable resource. If you are a Google-based organization, keep using Google Drive. It's more user-friendly and will align well with the rest of your collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft OneDrive for Business solving and how is that benefiting you?

OneDrive greatly aids with our remote communication. Because my team has offices in 7 different buildings, OneDrive offers a platform to collaborate on documents and presentations with ease and flexibility. It's also useful for onboarding because each new team member has access to past documents. It helps contextualize why we use our current practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

The best thing about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that we can have access to our files anywhere, and we can edit and share it very remotely for easy collaborations and which in turn saves money and time by better communicating between people of the organization. The mobile application and its easy-to-use interface are a cherry on top of the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Although Microsoft OneDrive for Business can be accessed remotely, we still need internet access to use the files, which eliminates the benefit of remote access. Furthermore, the size limitation of files is set at 15 GB, and it doesn't support more than 15 GB files for OneDrive for Business. Another lacuna of OneDrive for Business is that it lacks third-party app integrations compared to OneDrive for individual use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft OneDrive for Business:

If you are someone who is always on the go and wants remote access to the files but with an internet connection, then you are good to go with OneDrive for Business. It is easy to use, has all the features that your business needs to collaborate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

I like the way OneDrive connects with other Microsoft 365 apps. The syncing done automatically is helpful since it ensures my files are updated across all devices. Sharing documents with colleagues is made easier with the set permission levels in place, which makes it secure. Searching for files is much easier now because of the recent changes to the search function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

It can be annoying when some users are working on the same file at the same time and sync conflicts arise. It's not so easy to understand how the storage system is organized, especially the difference between personal and shared folders. It is also frustrating when trying to upload a large file and there is no error message telling you why it didn’t go through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft OneDrive for Business solving and how is that benefiting you?

OneDrive helps eliminate the problem of accessing files from different devices or locations. Work can be started in the office and continued at home or even when traveling.

All the team members save the files at one place with proper labels, and can access the files when required. It is easy to find the files as well. The folders are safe in the drive. Admins give the access and permissions as required. The Social Media team uses it on a daily basis. We can attach files in the emails from the drive very easily.

Before using One Drive I couldn't access my files online. Now i can access my files from anywhere. Also, i used to wait for my colleagues to finish working on a file before I could start which delayed my work and sometimes my work would even get overwritten if my colleagues saved a read only file in excel after I closed it. With One Drive we can avoid these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
