Reasons for Switching to OneDrive

Pros

Having so much data backed up, controlling who has access to it and
Being able to access it from multiple locations has added a lot of freedom to my work.

Cons

Sometimes the software is a bit power hungry, doesn’t sync right or can cause alignment problems between systems.

Pros

This was easy to set up with our windows machines.

Cons

It’s a bit clunky at times and doesn’t come across as simple to use as google drive; but it’s more reliable for desktop and working with office

Pros

This platform makes it so easy to store, look up, access, and produce all your document needs.

Cons

The only con o can think of at the moment is that it took so long to be produced.

Pros

Integration with other Microsoft products
Security and sharing features
Easy to use and access files on multiple devices
Good storage capacity

Cons

Synching files sometimes causes problems and have had issues with deleted files reappearing.

Pros

The thing I like most about OneDrive is that I was able to share files with others without any problems and also the cloud storage helped a lot.

Cons

The thing I dislike about OneDrive is that its cloud storage is that there are sometimes syncing problems across devices.

Pros

I like best was the overall features in the ease of use

Cons

What I like least maybe the aesthetics of the look of it maybe I may not appeal to just the average user

Pros

I use this every day and I love that it saves all of my files and I can easily access them and also see who has edited the documents and what’s been done.

Cons

I don’t really have any dislikes about OneDrive if I’m being honest.

Reasons for Switching to OneDrive

Pros

The feature I like most in OneDrive is the cloud storage that it provides also I very much like file syncing across multiple devices which work great.

Cons

The thing I don't like about OneDrive is that it has restriction on the size of file we can share.

Pros

What I like the most is the easiness and capability to share data among the company and outside the company.

Cons

It is easy to be targeted by viruses when folder is installed on the computer.

Pros

Onedrive is pre-installed on some devices and with an existing Microsoft account there is no need to do anything other than sign in. Onedrive is secure and allows me to restrict access as needed.
The best feature in my opinion is file organization. It's a practical and logical system. I can pull up any file I need almost instantly.
Onedrive is part of a larger group of software that can be even more helpful as a whole. OneNote, for example. Office is another that I found helpful of course. Help is relatively easy to find. The price and alloted storage are good if you've bundled with Office/365.

Cons

Large files and sharing can be troublesome due to limited options. Synchronization has limited options as well. I've had a problem with duplicate files.
I question if Onedrive is the best option for business accounts.

Pros

I liked how it was easy to share docs and digital assets. It's a good platform for Enterprise.

Cons

There was never any way to know if you were working on the latest version of a doc or asset. So many times we'd end up with ten different copies and no way to know which was the "official" doc bc everyone edited their own copy and not a master copy. Caused a lot of problems, hurt feelings, and needless reprimands.

Pros

OneDrive's cloud storage is something I enjoy using because it frees up a lot of space on my smartphone. Additionally, it enables me to access my files on any device. Whether I'm making documents or presentations for work, OneDrive works nicely with other programs.

Cons

I've had no problems with OneDrive for the past three years, and I adore it. I think a lot of people have problems because they don't read the instructions, don't understand how it works, and just click "yes" to everything when installing it.

Pros

Its existence! What an underappreciated tool this is for users; to have backups of all your documents/files that is accessible from any place at any given time.

Cons

The built in, and enabled, and difficult to disable, functionality such as reminders of what files you worked on a year ago or photos that you took a year ago - not interested and occupies valuable screen space.
The constant requests to enable camera backup from your phone

Pros

It works very well with Windows PC- almost smoothly.
It works quite well with Android mobiles.
Live updates on multiple devices (as cloud should work).
Bulit-in desktop app that workes seamlessly like other folders (on windows)

Cons

From time to time it has problem with synchronisation but it alwayes inform you about the reason of it.

There is a certain maximum character limit for path+file folder name, which doesn't allow for deep structured folders. The cap is bigger for commercial use but still not enough to run a huge and deep folder structure.

Unfortunately Microsoft did not worked out properly multi-user work- I have 3 accounts (2 businesses and 1 personal) and it does not recognize which account should oper certain file.

Picture backup is terrible- I had to use another software for that.

Pros

We’ve been using OneDrive in our organization and appreciate how it enables us to organize files more effectively. We also value its ability to limit access, allowing us to share specific folders exclusively with certain departments, such as Human Resources, for example.

Cons

Two issues we have with OneDrive are, first, the slowdown we experience when syncing desktop files to OneDrive. For example, if we sync a large folder full of files, it noticeably impacts our computer's performance, despite our devices generally being quite powerful. It would improve our experience if the syncing process caused less interference with our computers' speed.

Secondly, we frequently encounter problems with incomplete uploads, especially with folders containing subfolders, images, PDFs, and other files. Once the upload process finishes, we often see a notification stating that certain files weren't uploaded, which is frustrating. We then have to attempt re-uploading those files individually, which is both time-consuming and inconvenient. It would be helpful if OneDrive provided more detailed explanations about why certain files couldn’t be uploaded.

Pros

OneDrive syncs to your PC File Explorer making file management for those who still use desktops and easy and familiar experience. The SharePoint integration is seamless as well and works in the same manner as any of your site pages.

Cons

Nothing. We are very satisfied with OneDrive.

Pros

The ability to sync documents is very hands off, and the performance is very good. I don't see my computer resources getting slammed when syncing a bunch of documents at once.

Cons

Integration with windows PC's seems to mess up when connecting from my VPN. I have to manually connect at times. Also as a software engineer, I have source code that won't migrate to a new machine due to git restrictions. There are some nuances like that.

Pros

How easy it is to upload files to the cloud. You get plenty of space to keep all of your files.

Cons

Sometimes it closes down and you have to reopen the program to get everything to sync again.

Pros

It's easy to link up a company directory and intranet drive and be able to save money by utilizing the cloud storage.

Cons

How fast you can transfer files is at the mercy of your internet.Or black thereof it goes out. This can be difficult and create problems for your productivity.

Pros

Being able to back up files from all my devices that I'm logged into, file sharing across all my logged in devices, and the price for the cloud services is very reasonable especially considering every bonus that is included when paying for cloud and being able to share it with family.

Cons

Personally the only thing that I would change is the way OneDrive categorizes uploaded photos from mobile.

Pros

The space you get with the account is a good value for the price of the subscription to 365. OneDrive makes it easy to set it up on the computer, use as a regular windows folder and forget it's even running, while everything is synced to the cloud. The Autosave integraton with Office files that allows you to have the file autosaved every couple of minutes is also great since you don't need to worry anymore that you will lose some of the work you've done. And if you need, you can also restore some of the previous versions easily, which is really helpful.

Cons

The app has sometimes had hickupps - it stops syncing, needs restart, etc. However, this has happened less and less in the past year or two, so they've probably found a way to fix this now.

Pros

One of the best thing about OneDrive powerful security features that allow one to share and store filea securely. Ability to access files from any device whether working remotely or in the office.Allow multiple users to work on document seamlessly.

Cons

Amazing features that serves all our needs and cannot complain.

Pros

Its feature of document backups and allowing accessing files across different devices.

Cons

I don't really see any issues on it and it's a great tool for our daily work.

Pros

OneDrive is an essential part of our small business. This is the glue that connects our employees and lets us view our information in real time. We work on projects often and it helps that multiple people can view and edit as needed simultaneously.

Cons

We have experienced very few cons with OneDrive. OneDrive rarely disconnects, but it's very easy to reconnect.
