"One of the best Collaborative and File sharing experience you'll have"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

OneDrive for Business has a clean interface and comes with a very generous 100 GB of storage. Uploading files is as simple as drag-and-drop, and sharing access with people or accounts—whether within the organization or outside it—is straightforward and easy.

Because of its ecosystem, it integrates directly and seamlessly with other Office suite applications such as Outlook and MS Teams, where you’re able to browse directly through those applications into OneDrive.

Compared with other similar solutions, I believe that because Microsoft servers are widely available, upload and download speeds tend to be faster, which is always a plus. The recent integration of their AI model CoPilot is amazing; being able to search across the entire suite with just one search bar is a real time-saver.

The support you get from Microsoft is very good as well. Most things can be done via the 365 ADMIN portal, and there are tons of walkthroughs for it. But whenever you do need support, the live chat feature is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

The desktop app despite being very good interms of performance, sometimes does lag a bit when you want to create a new folder and upload and share it with someone. I tend to use the web version of one drive, and that just solves the problem for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Files On-Demand and Seamless Teams + SharePoint Integration Make OneDrive a Win"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Files On-Demand lets me see all my cloud files in File Explorer without having to store everything locally, which is especially helpful on laptops with limited SSD space. The deep Teams + SharePoint integration is also a big plus: files shared in Teams conversations or on SharePoint sites show up naturally within OneDrive workflows, which helps reduce duplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Troubleshooting is frustrating—many “fixes” still boil down to resetting OneDrive, relinking accounts, or forcing a full re-sync. On larger libraries, that kind of re-sync can take hours, which makes the whole process feel unnecessarily painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless File Sharing and Collaboration, Needs Improved Sync"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

I like Microsoft OneDrive for Business because of its simplicity combined with powerful collaboration features. The biggest advantage for me is seamless file access and sharing. I can easily access documents from anywhere and share them with colleagues without worrying about file size limits or multiple email attachments. I also appreciate the real-time collaboration and version control, ensuring everyone is working on the same, most up-to-date document, which reduces errors and confusion in team workflows. Its integration with Microsoft tools like Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Excel makes it very convenient to manage documents directly within the tools we already use daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Microsoft OneDrive for Business is very useful overall; there are a few areas where it could be improved based on my experience. One challenge is syncing issues. At times, files don't sync properly between local devices and the cloud, which can create confusion about whether the latest version has been uploaded. Another area is search functionality. While it works, finding specific files, especially when dealing with large volumes of documents, can sometimes be slower or less accurate than expected. I have also noticed that permission management can get complex, particularly when sharing files across multiple teams. Managing who has access and at what level can become difficult if not carefully monitored. Performance can lag with large files or folders, especially when uploading or downloading bulk data, which can slow down workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration and Effortless Real-Time Collaboration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

What I like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is how seamlessly it integrates with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Saving, accessing, and collaborating on files directly from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Teams makes document management effortless. Real-time co-authoring allows multiple team members to work on the same file simultaneously, reducing version conflicts and improving productivity.

The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and automatic file synchronization across devices has been reliable in my experience. Version history and file recovery provide peace of mind by making it easy to restore previous versions or recover accidentally deleted files. Secure file sharing with configurable permissions has also simplified collaboration with both internal teams and external stakeholders. Overall, OneDrive for Business has streamlined file management, improved collaboration, and reduced the need for manual backups while providing excellent value as part of the Microsoft 365 suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

While Microsoft OneDrive for Business is generally reliable, file synchronization can occasionally be slow or encounter conflicts when multiple users make changes offline before syncing. Managing shared folders and permissions can also become confusing, especially in larger organizations with complex collaboration requirements.

The desktop client can consume noticeable system resources when syncing large numbers of files, and initial synchronization for large libraries may take longer than expected. Search is useful but can sometimes be inconsistent when locating older files or recently synced content. Although OneDrive integrates well with Microsoft 365, users outside the Microsoft ecosystem may face a steeper learning curve. Overall, these limitations are relatively minor and do not outweigh the platform's strong collaboration and file management capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy File Sharing and Smooth OneDrive-SharePoint Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Simply put, I like how easy it is to share files and view them sorted by user. Integrating OneDrive with SharePoint also lets me quickly pull files from one directory into team sites, which then makes it easier for our team members to access what they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

While there is very little downside to OneDrive for business, my personal experience managing two separate accounts often leads to login issues when accessing the web-based OneDrive. This may simply be due to site cookies and cache; however, even after logging out of one account and signing into the other, it will often revert to the previous account when I click into any folder, which then results in errors. Sometimes the issue is resolved by refreshing the page or clearing cookies/cache, but it still creates a hindrance in my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive OneDrive Sync with Strong Security, Versioning, and Microsoft 365 Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

I can upload files to Microsoft OneDrive and access them from my mobile device. I also feel confident about privacy and safety since everything is stored in the cloud, and it’s protected from ransomware issues. Another useful feature is file versioning, so I can go back and access older versions whenever I need to.

The UI is intuitive, easy to understand, and simple to use. It integrates well with Microsoft 365 apps and makes it easy to transfer data between those apps. The OneDrive app also runs in the background and continuously syncs files to the cloud, which helps keep everything up to date.

The licensing fees feel justified because it provides good ROI by improving productivity. The help/support screens are Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Sometimes the sync function doesn’t work properly, or it ends up using too much CPU time and memory. Also, when the network is slow, it can slow down the entire system. When a large file is uploading, the system’s overall response time drops noticeably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
