Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is great for inviting and sharing documents with other users."

More Amazon WorkDocs Pros →

"Being able to use OneDrive as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer is the most valuable feature. Rather than using OneDrive on a browser, you can also open up the Windows Explorer and I can see the file structure in the normal format.""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.""They have support for integration with a lot of tools.""It's pretty easy to learn. Once someone taught me, I was able to navigate it quite easily.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the amount of space allotted to each user that is issued a subscription.""Ability to share documents.""The stability of Microsoft OneDrive is very good, it is reliable. There were multiple instances where I had lost my valuable data on hard drives in several other places. However, with Microsoft OneDrive, I've never lost a single file.""It is simple to use and it allows me to give me the opportunity to access anything I want from any device."

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

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"An increase in the capacity of storage in the free version would be nice.""An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it.""There are not enough ways to assign permissions to shared folders and files.""Recent functionality changes have actually made the product more confusing to use.""I think it should be more user-friendly with more tutorials on the full scale of the program.""If I want to pick out certain criteria of pictures, Google enables me to do that whereas OneDrive is a bit sort of flaky.""The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings.""Microsoft OneDrive could improve because it doesn't support backing up .PST files, which are Outlook data files, and email archives. This is a substantial setback when it comes to Microsoft OneDrive."
