What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

It integrates cloud storage and Office applications to the point we edit manuscripts with each other without having to juggle different tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I am opening a draft in anywhere and I can see track changes and I know that everybody on the team is on the same version.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't like when there are sync delays or sync conflicts from time to time; when deadlines are close, resolving duplicate versions takes more time than I'd like.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I'd suggest some clear folder rules, some sharing basics for editors and perhaps only trusted and well kept devices should sync offline.
