We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
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 →

"It is free if you use Microsoft Office 365.""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 is well integrated with other Microsoft products.""Scalability is good just because it is a cloud-based product.""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.""One of the good features is that the users are not even aware that they're using it.""It is good as a central hub for the storage of documents and sharing among team members."

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

More Amazon WorkDocs Cons →

"It takes too long for OneDrive to synchronize various applications, especially when you are saving office data. It also requires too much bandwidth.""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.""The security is not as flexible as it is with Dropbox, which means that we can't share our OneDrive files.""The user interface could be a little more intuitive.""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.""The website could be improved. Sometimes I try to login and the website has issues, I can't retrieve my documents.""The online application is quite limited, for this and other Office offerings.""Support has not been the same since the beginning of COVID lockdowns."
