It offers set of features in a very comprehensive way and provides various collaboration and storage needs.

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

1. Main problem is that our data is utmost important and needs to be safeguard. So having a backup of our files and saving our files time-to-time becomes a hectic job so Microsoft OneDrive automatically back up and saves our files to cloud so recovery becomes easy in case we fail. Also, it secures our data as it is integrated with some best security solutions at backend. 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.

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.

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.

It gives an organized way of storing files, documents, images, etc. It integrates well with all other tools like Microsoft Outlook and Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
