What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

For a big SEO agency where we’re always working on Excel-based SEO audits, Word docs for content calendars, and PowerPoint decks for client reviews, this integration is what makes it a central hub rather than just another file dump.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can pull up a previous draft from two weeks ago and restore it instantly without anyone needing to call IT. It’s saved our skin more than once during a rushed client submission.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Every now and then, someone’s file just doesn’t sync, and it leads to endless versions floating around in email threads

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

OneDrive’s a no-brainer. But don’t expect it to wow you with UX. Make sure your team is trained on the sync client

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
Enables Productivity
