Its a great place to store pictures and documentations, but to store real time logs, it might be less appropriate.

OneDrive is great in a high-bandwidth, corporate environment. Although I do access it from my mobile device it is a bit difficult to determine how to move files and if saved, to determine where a file is saved. If I have a folder with a large number of files, I would prefer to access it with a tool other than the mobile OneDrive app.

Pros

Amazon is rich in API and Amazon Cloud Drive is not an exception to it.
It integrates well with all our applications as we are on AWS for a long time.

Good syncing for the most part.
Good availability from multiple device species.
iOS app is good enough, made nicer by the fact that you can now save files and folders for offline use.

Sharing within a group was a bit confusing, since the existence of multiple files was shared with multiple emails and I could not keep track of them. I needed to add each email to the shared folder.

OneDrive 9.0

Based on 5 answers

Due to its tight integration into the Microsoft ecosystem and its bundling into the Office 365 service, continued use of the product is all but guaranteed. Unless there's a shift away from Microsoft, I can see no competing product offering the same ease of use and integrations taking the place of OneDrive

Based on 1 answer

It has a good performance, the pages load normally, access to the files, management, reports, everything is working well. With regard to integration with other systems, we have not done so yet.

Alternatives Considered

Even though Dropbox is great and has syncing capacities, we use Amazon Cloud Drive just because we are on AWS big time.

We have not used any other products other than just Microsoft email and sometimes used DropBox which has limited capabilities. OneDrive is awesome aside from minor fixes it allows our organization to share information effectively and always have accessibility to each others' work.

Return on Investment

It slowed us down at first since we went from purely agile to document based then agile.
It is easy to use so even non-developers can access code snippets which they wouldn't know how to access on github.
It has a lot of features we don't have a use for in our business.

Reps now have access to updated content from wherever they are
Versioning control down to desktop machines is limited so reps still have copies of old documents that are being used
New content can be announced and rolled out very quickly
