Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

OneDrive has its pluses and minuses. To be honest, we all switched as a company so I don't see any large benefits compared to other products, but no big misses either.

Onedrive: A Honest Review

OneDrive is just as good as its competitors. In some situations the program might shine the greatest, due to the creators and support team that stands behind this product. I do like this product more that Dropbox due to the GUI and ease of use for the program. This program will also be able to compete on the same level as Google Drive as well.

I mentioned in another area that OneDrive is bundled into our Office 365 accounts - so let me start there. Dropbox will cost you $10 and more per month. Our entire Office 365 account costs $12.50/month for each user - and we get full Office with that. Enough said there. As far as features go - I've found that most of these cloud storage providers all afford similar feature sets as far as sync clients; apps and addons; storage space; etc. - so choosing one or the other really goes to the needs of the company and of course - what's in place already. If your company uses Google apps - Dropbox might make more sense because of tighter integrations. However - if you already use Office 365 in some iteration, OneDrive is already baked in.

While other cloud storage services exist, some with better compatibility to other Operating Systems, the integration of OneDrive has proven to be its winning feature. Organizations that use Microsoft products heavily would find it a valuable asset, with its familiar interface and plethora of features online. Users don't see it as something additional to learn but as an extension of a product they are already familiar with.

As mentioned earlier, OneDrive is certainly a good solution for large enterprises. But when I work with other organizations or for my own personal, outside-of-work use, I prefer Google Drive, simply because it's a platform that nearly everyone is already using to some degree: more user-friendly, and with a better browser-based experience.

Google Drive provides similar functionality. Either choice would have been beneficial for our organization, however we chose OneDrive due to the organization's initiative to utilize Office Apps and OneDrive's integration made sense, fitting in with that initiative.

OneDrive compared to other products, allows you to create, edit, delete any file you have inside your OneDrive. You can create your Office documents without having the tool installed on your computer, that is, OneDrive has its own Office OnLine for the user's convenience. Without a doubt, it has many more tools than its competitors.

Since Microsoft's operating systems are the most used in business, the fact that it already comes installed with Windows 8 and 10 and that it has almost no flaws while working with said operative systems makes it more streamlined for file sharing in a company than it's competitors, not to say that the other options are not great.

The only things that OneDrive does better then everyone else is the integration into Sharepoint/Office documents and the 1TB storage at this price range. Our corporate solution is Google Drive mainly because of the robust client, better cooperation inside documents, better support for other OSs, etc. If you really need to storage OneDrive is probably the cheapest option out there, but you would also not need the more advanced features that most others offer.

OneDrive is part of our O365 platform so was an easy choice based on cost. For our initial needs, it has served us well but we are actively looking at more robust solutions that don’t just store data but give us detailed intelligence on how content is being used, in which situations and allows us to push out just in time content to all platforms instantly as needed.

In every situation I find Google Drive to be superior. Superior UI, searching, sync tool, overall feel.

It operates on an even playing field with Dropbox and Dropbox for Business and Box.com. It is similar enough that I don't feel a desire or compulsion to go out and get Dropbox as a subscription, but I also would never buy OneDrive for its own value, I only take it because it comes with O365.

Dropbox was great. But overall it didn't fix our needs and we wanted to stick with one platform. Cost was another factor. We were able to do more with onedrive and installation was also easy to do.

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.

We selected OneDrive because the software integrates well into the other Microsoft Office Suite products. OneDrive, gives you that 1TB of storage for less money than Google Drive does. Despite being a Microsoft product, OneDrive has clients for non-Microsoft operating systems, too, including Mac OS, iOS and Android. OneDrive's non-password protected link makes it easier for the receiver to view files.

Like I said we have the network drive. We have also used Google Drive which seems to have similar issues like OneDrive. We have not done too much in the could but that could be something to explore for the future. For now, the network drive is the most simplistic for the users and seems to be the one they adopt the most.

OneDrive does not integrate cleanly with Google products, for that Google Drive would be a better fit. If your organization uses Office 365, then OneDrive is the hands down best option as security scans and controls can be run in the same administrative interface as email controls.

We looked at Dropbox for Business, but for the price point and the requirements we had, OneDrive was the better option.

We have used other cloud services such as Google Drive and Dropbox. And I have to say each of them has its originality and own features belonging to them. But, now we are using OneDrive, because if you have one Microsoft account you can use it on all of Microsoft products and 90% of my colleagues use Outlook. And of course OneDrive allows you do great things with your files. When you are working on OneDrive you do not feel you are using a web-based system, it really feels like you are working with your local files, because it works properly even you have low-speed internet.

I would say OneDrive is better than Amazon and Dropbox and about on par with iCloud and Google. OneDrive was best for us since we are a Microsoft shop. Its storage, collaboration, and office integration made it the best option for us. Google Drive is also used by us when interfacing with external clients and contractors.

  • Microsoft Server
Prior to OneDrive, our official backup recommendation was to copy important files to a personal folder on a mapped Network Drive. OneDrive blows this out of the water in terms of convenience and ease of use.

I use Google Drive as well for managing documents. Onedrive documents are almost similar to Google Drive documents but onedrive's interface is cleaner than Google Drive. Onedrive's support also replies in a timely manner and helps with any questions we have. Microsoft has improved its cloud based services a lot and is providing great applications with enhanced functionality.

  • Google Apps
I use Google Apps as well which is a similar product to One Drive. Google Apps works great for a number of areas.
I would give One Drive a rating when it comes to managing emails via Outlook, since Outlook has been a great tool to manage emails forever and Microsoft has done a great job bringing it online via OneDrive.

I didn't select OneDrive but it was included in our Office365 subscription which we switched to mainly for the Microsoft Exchange. Everything else that we get is an added benefit like OneDrive. We don't pay extra for the service (at least I'm not aware of extra costs) and it has made our lives easier for sharing content inside and outside the company.

I think OneDrive fares better in the enterprise and business realm than Dropbox or Google Drive since it can be adapted to a large set of employees easily and tied in with Office365 + Active Directory. Both Dropbox and Google Drive seem more apt for single one-off consumer use.
