All about One Drive used for daily work

8 /10

What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

It integrates perfectly with desktop Microsoft Office apps. If I am working on a heavy spreadsheet or document, the auto save goes straight to the cloud without me having to manually upload anything to a website. It is much more native to a Windows setup than other competitors.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best thing is how easy it is to share my work. I can just send a link to my team instead of a heavy file. It makes working together very easy

What do you dislike most about this product?

The worst part is the slow upload. It stays at 1 mbps max even on high speed wifi. Waiting for large files to upload takes a lot of time out of my day

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is a great tool for saving small documents and sharing them with your team. But I would tell people to be careful if they work with big files. The upload speed is terrible and maxes out at 1 mbps on fast wifi. You will waste a lot of time if you try to upload heavy media files.

Pros

Reliable
Trustworthy
Security Protects
Continually Improving Product
