Microsoft OneDrive for Business Reviews & Product Details

OneDrive syncs with all other Microsoft Business suite programs. OneDrive syncs with Sharepoint and other applicaitons Microsoft programs are used throughout our organization so each computer and user can sync with the other easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program lacks intuitiveness that is necessary for business productivity. It is labor intensive to load files and find what is needed. There are many steps required to access the desired file. On a large global organization network, a search for a particular document brings up all files with a hit for that keyword. This is challenging when one only wants to view documents from within their particular department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brand name is very well known but product is lacking in terms of its competitiors like Dropbox and GoogleDrive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MSFT OneDrive is a bit pricier than its competitors and does not offer additional securities for file hosting and sharing. Is it fully secure? It's a shot in the dark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneDrive is able to grab files within emails and makes them available to view, edit and share in online environments only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not as good as other file sharing platforms and that too within Microsoft environment. The compatibility seems to be very little. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't use Microsoft OneDrive that often. As the graphic designer for my company, I am the only team member that uses a Mac computer. Any and all Microsoft apps seem to have a difficult time running on, and connecting with Macs. I avoid using any Microsoft apps as much as possible. I really only use it for my email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the compatibility. My email is always losing connection on iPhone and Mac computer. When I try to sign into the OneDrive using a PC computer, it tells me that my user profile does not exist, because I set it up on my Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price of OneDrive service is probably it's only positive point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Constant disconnection is quite an issue in OneDrive for business. Conflict resolving mechanism is also not optimal and often needs manual interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the capacity and the possibility to access computer files that are not sincronized, thus not using any space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the sharing permissions and the difficulty to view file history Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that they are connected to other Microsoft products and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s too many clicks and takes too long to loads. Interface is not modern enough nor intuitive either. I can not collaborate with colleagues well when looking at the same document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to access documents from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have had numerous issues with syncing. I have had to re-upload all of my documents on numerous occasions because the sync has stopped working. To be honest, I switched to Dropbox. I have had no problems at all with Dropbox! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stores data in cloud for security and accessibility, automatically saves files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud storage has a specific folder/destination on computer, which is different than local drive and documents/desktop, making navigation trickier, I'd rather it just save everything on my computer, the auto-save feature has to be turned on manually and slows down the computer to a crawl, crashes frequently and updates are annoying and frequently slow down the computer and crash other applications. RAM and CPU hog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The set up of the application is nice, but needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system goes down a lot and takes over a day to get back up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can make folders and share them across the organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very glitchy and the link do not always work for out side parties. Also, depending on how the permissions are set, it can cause issues when sharing with people out of the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Office 365 was implemented by my organization about 2 years ago. It is a convenient option to store and share files with people in my organization. The space provided (500GB) is more than sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it is convenient (my organization didn't have online storage like OneDrive before), it has an awful user interface. It feels very unstructured, and the search isn't helpful for may cases. Especially in a professional setting, I strive to keep my files organized, but there is simply no easy way to do it with OneDrive. We also had issues with transferring files from leaving staff members to current ones, and lost file access in the process. It is not easy to share files with clients outside the organization.

The link structure is bloated and very long, takes up several lines in an email and is non-descriptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you are able to use PowerPoint, excel and word. I also like that you can switch to desktop version for the full functionality of those programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like how it can be complicated to share with others. It isn’t as easy to collaborate and comment in. I don’t like how the online version doesn’t have the same features as desktop for PowerPoint and excel, which I typically need a lot. I don’t like how you can’t add what people have shared with you to your onedrive it is just under a section of what people have shared with you. I currently have to bookmark everything and it is hard to keep track of. Google drive is way better for sharing, adding and collaborating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has the basics to enable you to save and share documents with your colleagues and to organize those documents into folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how the sync from offline to online sometimes doesn't work right, or how sometimes it will say the file is locked because someone else has it open even though they closed it (sometimes it even says I have locked the file for editing but I'm the one trying to edit!). I also don't like the sharing options, it's confusing and difficult to figure out who has access and in what ways. For example I will try to copy the sharing link so that anyone with the link can view and I still get requests for access. Lastly the revision history isn't as good or reliable as Google's in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That if properly educated about the software prior to company install, I should have access to all documents in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Computer runs super slow while this is syncing, save feature requires constant connection, and forget accessing even your personal documents if you lose the login and have no access to the original computer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OneDrive allows users to backup important files. Collaborate and share with others and have a location to access files from virtually anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft has changed the login processes and the interface for sharing files. One used to be able to login with almost any account, now must be Microsoft, must be business, must not have any other Microsoft web login connected. File sharing is more difficult since they removed the familiar file explorer navigation look and the right click to access the share permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having the ability to share, save, work and check my emails all in one place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the files it's not easy to navigate and the more you have the worse this is. If you try and use search to find the file good luck, it will all keep reloading the page so if you have to go down a long list, you will never get past the first page. At least we can't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In theory, this sounds great. Being able to share files from computer to computer securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In practice, it's rare that this application does what it intends without any hiccups. More often than not, I have an issue with it. I rather use Google Drive for file sharing even though it may not be as secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that is cheaper than drobox business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That 1 Tb is very small storage for businesses to store data. also I don't really trust in regarding how safe it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The idea of an entirely Microsoft based eco system was inviting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One Drive was a part of it of the natural Microsoft eco system. However, we found that our design files continuously corrupted. Working through Teams with files stored on One Drive meant multiple users could technically work on the same file. However, in the world of design this is guaranteed corruption. What was worse is that our shared Microsoft documents were also corrupting. Despite version history, it created for an extraordinary number of lost staff hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having all your information in one central location to make it easy to access and viewable for everyone with the simple click of a bookmark. Whether you are home or at work, or anywhere on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud base - sometimes it crashes and isn't available, and has error messages, definitely room for improvement here. When you soley rely on cloud based and have no backup it's a risk you face though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can upload and share files with colleagues at our company with OneDrive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The file manager is very limited, after I uploaded somehing, I have no option to manage or view it in the browser view, mostly it can only sync my files, upload, download, but I need to manage my files on my PC in the sync folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Microsoft One Drive is the ability to store files on the app. It's also easy to access from the desktop and works very well with Windows programs. All the computers in the dealership that I work in do come with this program on it already, which has been helpful. It removes the need for new employees to implement the tool and can be an easy way to share files such as sheets for new guests, information that we should all have access to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not always easy to rely on as I've been quite sure I saved something in the One Drive and in all actuality it did not really save. This is something I've come to know and accept of the program but it does take away the whole purpose of it. Why else use a storage system? It has been hard to remember to use the program as well and because of that we have pretty much gone away with it. We would prefer to use Google Docs instead, honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use, I can't say much because I'm not very impressed with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Uploading / copying .. etc takes a very long time.

2. There was a bug of locking a user (me) out of folders they're invited to share.

3. The UI is very uninviting, like it works but I'm not excited about using it, a bit boring and less spacious in comparison to other products.

4. File editing in parallel with other users (designers) proved to be a disaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout is simple and the aesthetic is nice and streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that it is difficult to pair Microsoft OneDrive with other applications. It took me forever and a day to pair it with other apps that I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
