Cons
"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"It would be a fantastic opportunity if their solution could be used in combination with VoIP software, allowing you to combine VoIP software and Office 365 on a single platform.""We have had some connectivity issues.""The security should be improved.""Office 365 could be easier to use at first. Tutorials are needed to know how to use the solution.""Could include integration with other single sign-on solutions.""If two people update the same file, it causes issues.""Sometimes the configurations of the error troubleshooting are pretty problematic and there are a lot of issues that happen even if you follow the step-by-step guides. They can work on fixing this issue. If there are a lot of issues in your Windows or your Office or anything, you restart your PC and it works. They need to get rid of this need.""Microsoft Word is a little bit left behind regarding the tools it has."
