"Secure OneDrive Sharing and Collaboration Made Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Safe content and document sharing. In my area of expertise, I often need to share application deployment log files with a large number of users, along with screenshots, certificates, and token updates. The cloud-based One Drive provides the capability to share files and collaborate on the same document across several workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

When the system is backing up or synchronizing files, the files are sometimes not accessible, or it takes a long time to upload or download them. Also, when a new user is added to the directory, it sometimes isn’t recognized through LDAP and requires a workaround or rework to get it working properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowering Secure Collaboration in the Energy Sector with OneDrive for Business"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

The biggest advantage of cloud collaboration with OneDrive is how effortlessly it enables our teams to access critical documents from anywhere, including remote energy sites. The built-in security, version control, and integration with Teams and SharePoint have significantly improved our operational efficiency. The UI/UX is very user-friendly along with AI feature, and exceptional performance when using OneDrive. We have also benefited from strong compliance features, which deliver a huge ROI, and the support is also excellent with Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

While our experience has been positive overall, sync performance can occasionally slow down when we’re dealing with extremely large engineering files or more complex folder structures. Some employees also need time to adjust to cloud-first workflows, especially those who are used to traditional network drives. These issues weren’t deal-breakers, but they did require some internal communication and training to make the transition smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable cloud storage solution for daily business coordination"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

What I like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is how easily it fits into daily work without needing much effort from the team side. Since we already use Microsoft tools like Outlook and Excel, file sharing and access becomes very smooth.

I also like that files stay synced across devices, so even when I am outside office or coordinating with different teams, I can quickly access documents without asking someone to resend them again and again. The permission control and backup part is also useful because it reduces chances of losing important files or sharing wrong versions internally.

For teams handling multiple clients and reports daily, it genuinely saves time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

One thing I dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that syncing sometimes becomes slow or confusing, especially when multiple people are working on large files at the same time. There are moments when files show updated for one user but not for another immediately.

Another issue is that the folder structure and sharing permissions can become difficult to manage if the team is not properly trained. Sometimes users accidentally move or duplicate files, which creates confusion later.

The mobile experience is decent but still feels less smooth compared to desktop usage for handling bigger work files regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration with Real-Time Collaboration and Enterprise-Grade Security"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

What I like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business

is how tightly it connects file storage, collaboration, and the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem into one workflow. Instead of treating cloud storage as a separate tool, it feels built into the way teams already work in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint. That integration cuts down on version confusion and constant email attachments.

The real-time collaboration is especially useful. Multiple people can edit documents simultaneously, leave comments, and track changes without creating duplicate files. For organizations already using Microsoft 365, that seamless collaboration is probably OneDrive’s biggest strength.

Another strong point is accessibility. Files sync across devices, and offline edits automatically update once you reconnect. That sounds basic now, but in practice it makes hybrid and remote work much smoother.

From an administrative perspective, the security and compliance controls are also a major advantage. Features like file recovery, sensitivity labels, permission management, ransomware recovery, and integration with Microsoft Entra/Azure AD make it more enterprise-ready than many consumer-oriented cloud storage tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

There are usability annoyances that sound small until they interrupt work repeatedly:

Sync conflicts overwriting edits

Random sign-outs

Files appearing online but not locally

Long waits for uploads/downloads

Path length and filename restrictions

External sharing workflows that confuse non-Microsoft users

These issues show up repeatedly in Microsoft forums and sysadmin communities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MS OneDrive: Microsoft 365 Integration and Easy File Access"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

What I like best are MS OneDrive's integration with Microsoft 365 and file management/accessibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

I have had issues with path length limitations. Because I use MS OneDrive for Business to store student work, some of their projects, especially Visual Studio projects, have lengthy path structures and I occasionally run into errors trying to test/debug their projects for this reason.

"Secure, Seamless Microsoft 365 Collaboration with Strong Compliance Controls"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

What I like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business is its secure, seamless integration with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, which makes collaboration efficient and compliant. The ability to securely store, share, and co-author documents in real time, combined with version control and access management, helps ensure data integrity and accountability. From a compliance perspective, features such as permission controls, audit trails, and data protection standards make it especially valuable in regulated environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

One limitation of Microsoft OneDrive for Business is that file syncing can occasionally be slow or inconsistent, especially with large files or when working across multiple devices. Additionally, managing shared links and permissions can become complex in large teams, increasing the risk of access confusion if not carefully governed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simultaneous sharing and editing of documents with ease and speed."
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

The possibility of you being able to share the documents with all users of the company's platform, the simultaneous use of the files, where everyone can update the same file upon opening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Sharing requires that people have access to the platform; they cannot verify the shared file without having access to Microsoft's tools. Today, a system like Google is accessible to everyone. This would be a disadvantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless M365 Integration with Reliable Sync, Autosave, and Backup"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

It integrates tightly with the M365 ecosystem we already use every day, especially Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint. I regularly work on documents, project plans, and client deliverables, and being able to open files directly from Teams or from an email, edit them in real time, and have everything auto-saved significantly reduces version control issues.

My files also get synchronized from my local drive and desktop, which keeps me worry-free. I can work offline, and it automatically syncs up again when I reconnect. Another unexpected benefit is the automatic backup of important folders like Desktop and Documents. I can find what I need easily by searching keywords in filenames or even content inside the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft OneDrive for Business?

Search sometimes fails to pick up recently added files, which makes it harder to find what I need right away. On top of that, permissions are difficult to track and manage, so it’s not always clear who has access to what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
