"With this solution, the sharing of documents if very easy to do. There's a lot of collaboration you can do with your colleagues."

"It was extremely easy to setup."
"The pricing could be better and so could the amount of storage space. I feel like for the price, they don't offer very much storage space, especially when compared to competitors like Google."
"While I feel the price being charged to be reasonable, it should either be more cost-effective or account for an increased amount of storage space."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"I think the product's interface is an area of concern since it has been changed for a long time and can be considered for improvement."

"There is a potential improvement regarding storage capacity and offering more than its current four gigabytes."

"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."
"An online video player would be great, since sometimes you have to download the video to play it."
"OneDrive is a bit behind competing products like Dropbox and Box."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"No one gets an alert when files are deleted."
"The initial setup is a bit clunky."
