What Is OneDrive?
Microsoft OneDrive is a web-based digital asset management solution that allows businesses of all sizes to efficiently manage, collaborate, and share files. Administrators can set up a private or public site for authorized users, who can then create online folders to store their documents. Businesses can share sensitive data without revealing proprietary information by allowing only authorized people to access the folder. Users can also access and edit documents within the same collaborative environment to increase efficiency. The Microsoft 365 interactive scanning app lets users scan and convert paper to searchable PDFs directly from their device.

Reviews of OneDrive
OneDrive Review
Comments: This application is a very good tool for document backup and file sharing for our team.
Pros:
Its feature of document backups and allowing accessing files across different devices.
Cons:
I don't really see any issues on it and it's a great tool for our daily work.
Alternatives Considered:
OneDrive has come from behind in the cloud storage race
Comments: Storing files to the cloud with OneDrive and sharing and syncing data across devices has become simple and seamless across the devices I have it installed on.
Pros:
1TB of OneDrive storage is included with my Microsoft 365 supscription.
Cons:
It wasn't as good as Dropbox at first but it got better. It just took it some time to get better.
A discrete product
Comments: It is good but should be better due to some lack of expertise in using it
Pros:
The uploading capacity and the availability on several different browsers without any issues
Cons:
When you access to onedrive is not easy to understand where the file is and when you need to save out of it it is quite complicated because the laptop always address you there
Better File Organization
Comments: The experience with Onedrive was relatively good. I like many things about it and it's familiar.
Pros:
Onedrive is pre-installed on some devices and with an existing Microsoft account there is no need to do anything other than sign in. Onedrive is secure and allows me to restrict access as needed. The best feature in my opinion is file organization. It's a practical and logical system. I can pull up any file I need almost instantly. Onedrive is part of a larger group of software that can be even more helpful as a whole. OneNote, for example. Office is another that I found helpful of course. Help is relatively easy to find. The price and alloted storage are good if you've bundled with Office/365.
Cons:
Large files and sharing can be troublesome due to limited options. Synchronization has limited options as well. I've had a problem with duplicate files. I question if Onedrive is the best option for business accounts.
An Essential Software for Business
Comments: Our company uses it to compile quotes and marketing materials.
Pros:
OneDrive makes it easy for our team members to collaborate and keep our files in one location. This functionality allows us to work from anywhere.
Cons:
I cannot come up with a con of using OneDrive.
