OneDrive Software

I use this mainly for work purposes and it has made life so much easier in that I can quickly and easily share files with my coworkers. They can edit the document and input data and it's instantly available to me.

Pros

Great for keeping your files in for work and home. Makes sharing files with colleagues and family very easy. Nice to have a drive on your computer instead of solely cloud-based. can work on the same document as coworkers at the same time when using a browser.

Cons

Working on documents through a browser is a pain. Some features of the program, like Excel, aren't available.

Pros

OneDrive is a great cloud storage tool, especially for Microsoft related products like word excel power-point etc... It integrates well with the office suite.

Cons

I didn't much care for the mobile version of one drive, and would much rather some of the other mobile cloud solutions like google drive. Still works great to access files, but it looks much better on PC or windows tablet.

Pros

The syncing feature works behind the scenes to keep all local documents synced online. I love the ability to share documents with an expiration date for security.

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like about the product, but I would like an easier way to link to documents for sharing (like from an email) instead of having to share them from the app.

Pros

OneDrive works pretty similarly to other cloud storage services and it's great that Microsoft Office now has the options to collaboratively work on files. Definitely worth checking out for people who use Microsoft Office as a primary program.

Cons

For my organization's needs, this software isn't the best match. The company I work for has google accounts for their emails so we have found better solutions. I would recommend this for companies with a larger focus on Microsoft Office.

OneDrive is a great cloud storage solution, though it lacks some features that Dropbox and Box have.

Pros

One of the biggest pros for OneDrive is how well it works with Microsoft Office 365 and Windows OS. It runs with minimal system resources and the ability to save directly to OneDrive from the apps is fantastic!

Cons

Previous versions of the OneDrive mobile application were clunky and had constant notifications asking me to upload photos. The newer version seems better, so hopefully this is fixed. The Microsoft customer service has always been underwhelming, and most issues are better solved by visiting the Microsoft forums and asking the community for help.

OneDrive is a good solution for storing a limited quantity of files, or if you're just starting out with cloud storage. A better solution would be Dropbox or Box.

Pros

The nice thing about OneDrive is the integration with Office 365 in terms of file access and saving. It doesn't appear to take up much in the way of system resources when I have OneDrive running in the background on startup.

Cons

OneDrive has file count limitations due to its use of Sharepoint on the backend. This has prevented the use of OneDrive for my professional use.

Pros

Easy to use. Reliable and fast. Good options to customize the experience. On the web very nicely placed in Office 365 package. Good amount of space for free users.

Cons

No support on Linux. The Mac app doesn't nicely integrate with Office. No good collaboration feature in the free version. At least, I could not find it.

Pros

I have been using dropbox for a long time and I recently switched to Onedrive. It does have some interesting features like the screenshot getting saved automatically in onedrive folder, is user friendly and syncs fine with my home computer

Cons

One major problem is that it is slow. In comparison to google drive and dropbox it is quite laggy and takes more than to upload and set up.

I would look at DropBox before I used OneDrive. The only real advantage is that it comes on most computers from the point of sale. I would not recommend this software to anyone. There are other types of software that are much easier to use and better priced.

Pros

Storage space is adequate enough
Easy to manage files from computer
Easy to upload files to OneDrive

Cons

Too expensive to upgrade to larger space
The price is not competitive to other storage places
The management interface is clumsy and not as easy as other storage places
If you don't want it on your computer, it's very difficult to remove

Pros

This add-on to Office 365 give small businesses the ability to save their files in the cloud without any additional costs.

Cons

I would like it to be more user friendly as far as shared links and the integration into other softwares.

Overall, OneDrive is great if you're able to stay under the file cap and/or you're using this from Day 1. Migrating from another platform can prove troublesome.

Pros

OneDrive is included with Office365 business subscriptions, so businesses do not require an additional subscription if they are already using Office365. File sharing/editing features are great.

Cons

OneDrive works with Sharepoint on the back-end and has a limit to the number of files that can be stored on a 'server' for businesses. It's not as robust as Dropbox or other cloud storage solutions.

Pros

Very easy to use on desktop and mobile. Prices are comparable to other services. Uploading is is a breeze and sharing a folder or file is as simple as right clicking and share link.

Cons

Had a few hiccups while syncing. Created duplicate files which can get very confusing. Just make sure you have all files closed when syncing between computers. Otherwise you may get duplicates.

Fix your sync errors please otherwise what the heck is this for

Pros

Nothing not fit for purpose

Cons

Never have I been able to get the OneDrive cloud to sync with my OneDrive folder on my computer. I have to manually upload files to keep them up to date if I want to access them elsewhere. This is no dropbox by any means I can't believe this has been years and it still doesn't work.

Pros

Simple to oversee and share archives on the web, A considerable measure of free space and quick access.
PC auto-match up include is best that enables you to have an organizer of OneDrive and where you put your archives and auto adjust to the OneDrive that you can access from anyplace.

Cons

Some more customization can be included yet general it's ideal I don't think it has anything that I detest.

Highly recommend using Dropbox over Onedrive

Pros

Saving your files on the cloud and being able to access them remotely. However this doesn't work. Every-time i save my excel file and come to reopen, it doesnt upload it to onedrive properly.

Cons

- Unable to effectively save files
- Laggy
- Non user friendly
- Beware when you hit save, your files will not be saved and you will be stuck with an older version of your file
- Hours of work lost due to Onedrive unable to effectively save files

Pros

OneDrive provides a number of features and competes well with Google Drive. Helps with managing documents and spreadsheets online without any issue.

Pros

One Drive works together with other Microsoft products, so basically I started using it when our office switched over to Microsoft 365. If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription then you really get a lot of storage space with OneDrive, and if you're already a fan of Microsoft products then OneDrive might be an easy cloud storage and file sharing solution for you. If you're using Outlook then OneDrive might be a good pairing as you will have the option to attach files from your OneDrive, etc.

Cons

When using Google Drive I almost never have to look up any tutorials or take time to figure anything out. Uploads, file syncing, everything works very easily. I mention Google Drive because when we made the switch to OneDrive... suddenly nothing was easy anymore. My uploads repeatedly failed and had to be restarted. I frequently Googled instructions for how to make OneDrive work for me.

Pros

It is very easy to use, and to sync with all my devices.
Can be integrated on several other tools or services like office 365.

Cons

As a personnal use, I would like to a have a Markdown editor directly integrated on Onedrive, with a HTML preview of the .md file

Pros

OneDrive (One of the main competitor) of Google Drive, helps offering a number of features to manage MS office documents online. It let us manage and update all the documents and share with others. Helps with making quick changes anytime.

Cons

I like all of the applications provided by OneDrive. It helps making files organized and sharing with others.

Pros

OneDrive helps me organize files into the cloud. It lets me create folders and place files inside these.

Cons

I can manage my pictures and other files on the OneDrive. I am able to share pictures with friends. OneDrive keeps the files secure.
