"We use Microsoft OneDrive for file sharing without the need for additional hardware (such as flash drives or external hard drives)."
"It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."
"It was extremely easy to setup."
"It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily."
"The most valuable feature is to be able to modify the file online and keep it stored on the cloud, since it is not necessary to download it to make modifications."
"One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it."
"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that Microsoft OneDrive works with any Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office app. You can edit a document on the cloud, share documents with your colleagues, and monitor changes. You can access your work almost anywhere. You can also sync Microsoft OneDrive with your workstation so that whatever you are working on gets automatically backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. So even if your system crashes, you still have a copy of your documents in the cloud, which I found very useful."
"The integration with other products needs to be improved."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"The solution has sub-folders, which are visible to various team members. If you want to ensure the information is private, you would need to have a certain level of seniority in the office."
"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth."
"I would advice not storage sensitive information since it could be prone to hacking."
"Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The file structure insight could be made more flexible like for creating more flexible folders."
"It is not very stable because there are a lot of bugs."
