OneDrive for Business is what every corporate backup should be
- Seamless syncing and backup over a corporate network. There is no need for manual upload and download of files anymore.
- Access is controlled via MS Active Directory. Our files cannot be accessed by others outside our department/project team.
- Secured environment. Syncing to the server is over our corporate network and VPN from home.
- Setting up folders can be done easily from SharePoint without much configuration.
- Need to install OneDrive for Business. This is installed together with our Office Enterprise in our work laptops. We need the IT team to install this or [get it] pushed down from central management.
- The disk quota is unknown. Unlike OneDrive at home, the available space is not really visible to the client.
- After setting up the folder, it is hard to move it to another folder - for example moving from My Documents to D:/ Drive to reclaim space.

OneDrive, best for MS Office users.
I also use OneDrive with OneNote - taking notes on my phone or Surface, and open them on desktop to review and organize them.
- Integration with office, especially with Office 360.
- Integration with OneNote.
- It works on every platform and device.
- Sometimes the files get corrupted, I had a situation on my home desktop PC (Windows 10), where I was not able to sync for a long time. I needed to remove one drive and install clean copy.
- Synchronization speed and frequency sometimes is low.

Google Drive has free in-browser document editing software. You don't need install any software to have a simple text or spreadsheet editor. OneDrive should allow something like this as well.
- Saving and opening files to OneDrive folders.
- It (usually) syncs without you even noticing it or any need for any user action.
- When it stops working (does not sync) it is hard to troubleshoot.
Also the Android app could be better integrated into phone. You should be able to open a Word document in any editor straight from OneDrive and then save it straight back to OneDrive. Sometimes you have to use the share-to function to save back to OneDrive.
The Windows 8 / Windows 10 app could look better. It has typical Windows 8 app view. It is very boring.
