OneDrive

I like that OneDrive is included with the Microsoft Suite. That was a selling point in making the decision on what cloud provider to migrate our data to. I like that everything is all administered in the same place in the admin portal.

Sharing files and folders with external customers works well e.g. to share a folder with them, allowing them to upload files. Integration with Windows Explorer, Excel, Word, etc. is fairly seamless, as would be expected from a Microsoft tool. Mobile experience is good - has a similar feel to the desktop.

I like how easily it syncs files across all my devices so i can access them anytime without worrying about carrying additional storage. It is very helpful with the integration with microsoft office, it is very convenient for me as it automatically backup and real time access to my files.

It would be so nice if all the folders you have access to would automatically sync, and if there are folders you don't want to see in file explorer you could go into settings and hide them. This makes it tough when deploying in an office environment, because you have to manually sync everything for every user. Another challenge we have experienced is sync issues when one user has a file open and another wants to join and use/edit the file at the same time.

OneDrive gets stuck syncing rather often and you sometimes have to check the online view rather than what's shown on the desktop. Some features rely on you having subscribed to the whole Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

1. Sometimes the sync takes little longer than expected 2. it works slow when working with heavy data 3. the limited free storage fills up very quickly, which can be inconvenient.
