OneDrive is an optimal choice compared to Google Drive because of its autonomy. Google Drive requires manual file movement and extensive folder-management hand-holding. Also, since OneDrive is Microsoft, and we also integrate natively with Microsoft Teams, integrations are …
Chose OneDrive
I think ShareFile is a more complete product that lets me set up folders where people can send me files along with me being able to send secure links to my files. The sharing of files is fairly similar but I feel ShareFile does it better.
Chose OneDrive
I like Google Drive because it's never given me a problem, unlike OneDrive. However, they are both very similar; ideally, BOX IS BEST. For my personal life, Google Drive is great, and even at my last job, Google Drive worked great before it was replaced with OneDrive. If …
Chose OneDrive
I think OneDrive just edges out the other two because of the connection it has to the microsoft suite. All the excel and word documents just work. You dont have to worry what formatting might do to the document.
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive offers more storage than google drive, but dropbox gives unlimited storage for my institution.

OneDrive is best for large file sharing.
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive feels native is you are a Microsoft 365 user. The integration aspect of being a Microsoft customer and using all platform tools together helps with driving adoption, ease of learning, and overall efficiency. While Google Drive is widely used as well, there is a ramp …
Chose OneDrive
The most similar in functions would be Google Drive, however I chose One Drive because first, it allows to use all of office 365 software, which is universally used and preferred because of its trajectory. One Drive syncs directly with windows, which allows to use the desktop …
Chose OneDrive
"Describe how OneDrive stacks up against (alternatives) and why you selected OneDrive." It doesn't, except it's more secure than Gdrive. Definitely wouldn't select OneDrive for anything important.
Chose OneDrive
Dropbox does not have convenient business solutions such as cloud reporting. But One Drive ,It's a platform that virtually everyone already uses to some extent: it's more user-friendly and provides a better browser-based experience.
Chose OneDrive
Though dropbox has been in existence and popular, I found OneDrive to be much more effective in terms of pricing. And app support is better with OneDrive. Also as mentioned the new feature of not downloading all files but showing the names gets my vote for OneDrive. One more …
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive's autosave feature with Microsoft is key, which puts it ahead of Google Drive. I do like Google Drive's ubiquitousness and it seems to be the preferred method of collaboration.
Chose OneDrive
Box is another file-sharing application that is very similar to OneDrive. Box falls short of OneDrive in its syncing capabilities. OneDrive is very quick with syncing so you never have to be concerned that you are not using the most up-to-date materials. Box was always a bit …
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive is my go to solution because included in the price of OneDrive is full access to the Microsoft Office suite of programs. It also includes all the same features as Google Drive and Dropbox, but includes those programs and even an email account if you want, so its the …
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive is ideal for document management and security of remote access to data and other important company data. I consider it secure and reliable as compared to Google Drive even though Google Drive offers more storage space for free.
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive has a specific file syncing technology which is otherwise known as the block level copying and [t]here the files would be broken [into] smaller packages whereas Google Drive would mine the user data from that of the files being uploaded to Google Drive.

Chose OneDrive
Compared to Dropbox, I like it a lot more. The user interface looks cleaner, your files are secure, and collaboration is encouraged with the tools that they offer.
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive gives powerful security and gives sufficient protection to our valuable data over Google Drive. It saves much of our precious time by synchronizing various files automatically. This auspicious tool lets us make privacy changes in each and every folder where there is a …
Chose OneDrive
I really find them equals in performance. I have used Dropbox for over a decade and it has always been reliable. However, Dropbox is not integrated with Microsoft Teams and it is much more expensive.
Chose OneDrive
I would not recommend OneDrive to anyone. Buggy and unreliable. Frequently corrupts files.
Chose OneDrive
OneDrive is included in our Microsoft suite of products so there was no additional cost for us to use it. We use OneDrive for that reason mainly. For the most part, it does what you expect a cloud storage system to do, and it does it fairly well. For a larger group (10 or more …
Chose OneDrive
In past organizations, I have utilized DropBox as a tool for file sharing and document collaboration. In my opinion, OneDrive is a much more comprehensive solution, because OneDrive takes DropBox one step further by integrating and automatically saving files in the device in a …

All of these products require a document storage system or are a document storage system. All of them get you to replicate what you are currently doing and paying for with Office 365 and OneDrive as a packaged feature. It’s just as robust and is native to your operating system …
Chose OneDrive
Tight integration with Office 365 is the main reason. Besides, Microsoft has a good reputation for supporting enterprise customers. SmartSheet does not have that reputation. We also have a long, stable relationship with Microsoft. Microsoft provides 1 TB of storage for each …

I'll start with what I would not use OneDrive for! I would not use it as a primary source for code repository, there are other more robust tools out there that can help you with storing and making available code repos. Where I would use OneDrive is in a platform for managing files, and with that I mean any file that can be saved offline and access a OneDrive access point, share, or mount. This could be personal, business, or data from a system that is saved in a standard file format. The OneDrive platform is great for documents collaboration as well, with the ability to allow for share and links to be provided to for easy access and collaboration. I would also recommend if you are someone who likes to use cloud services and rely less and less on offline storage. OneDrive excels in this area!

I've tried other CRMs and Zoho WorkDrive has been the best in our opinion. It's very intuitive and keeps my team organized. We also really like to use the Zoho Sign app for convenience of getting contracts signed by our customers. We are eager to try many of the other apps that the suite has to offer.

Cons
  • I wish OneDrive would allow you to sync multiple personal/individual accounts to your computer. At this time, you can only sync one account at a time. That means that my personal OneDrive and individual corporate OneDrive can't be synced to my computer at the same time.
  • OneDrive has a file size limitation of 15 GB. I know that that is a very large amount, but I have several files that are larger than 15 GB that I wish I could get to sync. I'm hoping that file size limitation changes in the future.

  • Zoho WorkDrive has limitations in sync and performance.
  • There is Sync limitations which lacks the selective or block and make it inefficient for large files
  • There is navigation issues like trash and shared items and tasks are hidden in menus.
  • Large files uploading and downloading is very slow. The speed lacks
  • In the storage part if we edit the file, the file takes the full file version and store it.
  • Missing feature is there is no proper encryption for the files and folders.

I like Box better. If you sign into Microsoft using a personal account, be EXTREMELY careful. All of your downloads could suddenly be available to your entire company, and that is incredibly embarrassing. Did that happen to me? Not going to say, but just always check which MS account you sign into.

Using OneDrive is very intuitive and has been improved over the years. It's just like using native file management on either your Mac or PC. It's drag and drop functionality is easy and it clearly shows when files are uploaded to the cloud or if there are errors

Support Rating
It's a Microsoft product so there is a wealth of information online both from Microsoft directly and from millions of users but as a corporate user we also have access to direct Microsoft support through a variety of avenues (phone, email, etc.). This makes finding answers to issues more accessible, however, it does also mean that any new feature requests will get buried.
