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.

- As an end user, OneDrive has been super useful for team and department use. As there is no actual access to the value of investment, ROI is not available.
- Microsoft Server
- Project Team document repository
- Department files repository
- Important work files backup
- Sending large files as a workaround to email file size limitation.
- Product Usability

- Existing Relationship with the Vendor
- Self-taught
- Setting up. Just click OneDrive from SharePoint and follow the OneDrive wizard.
- The backup and sync function happen in the background seamlessly.
Best cloud sharing for business users.
- Sync all the data across different machines.
- 1TB of free space with corporate account.
- History tracking and version updates.
- In some scenarios Onedrive takes a long time to sync files and it causes issues on the application side if you want to edit it. The application will throw an exception as the file being used by Onedrive service.
- OneDrive creates new file when sync is in progress and that makes another version of file with the user changing the file. It gets difficult sometimes to sync these files. They should improve sync process.
- OneDrive creates default a folder on a laptop under the user directory. If a user could control the location it would be helpful. By having it at user level it takes time to load the profile every time a user logs in to a machine.
