Data governance controls for enterprises that need control over documents while they are being shared would benefit greatly from OneDrive. We are often sharing documents from our business development department to external parties and need to ensure that the information being shared is secured. For simple document management or file sharing through FTP or similar services, other software solutions would be better fit.

Onedrive is highly customer friendly cloud storage product. If it is being used by entire organization then all of your coworkers can edit and view the files that been shared with them. And there will be no need any other methods for sharing files. It is known by many in my country.

We use it for two main use cases. One is a running installation instructions sheet that developers write up when they are finished with projects and quality assurance uses to install and test the changes. These directions are then given to IT for deployments. It allows for quick transfer of knowledge and lets everyone view and edit it live. The second use case is to store a OneNote Notebook that we call our cheat sheet. It is basically a searchable knowledge base for our team to make us more efficient and quicken new hire's startup time. It is not good for hosting files outside the Office suite such as Visio and coding files.

This is a good solution to store/backup work files that need a secure connection and servers, especially if the files are not allowed to be stored on public clouds. It would be inappropriate to use it as full laptop backup solution as the server side storage folder will be dependent on the SharePoint installation.

Onedrive is good application to be used for people who manage documents online. These could be project related documents, HR documents, or process documents etc. Besides document management, onedrive provides email functionality within the online Outlook application. It helps emails to be managed easily. Onedrive support is also helpful and they reply to tickets within 24 hours.

I also use Google Drive for most email and documentation purposes. I would give Google Drive a little higher rank than OneDrive at this point. But I do believe that One Drive is improving and there is a possibility that it will compete with Google Drive for sure. For email and Outlook purposes, it is best to stay with One Drive.

I like the ability to share and store data on the cloud. It reduces the need of a bigger drive, especially while SSD prices remain a little high. It is also great for sharing with those when emailing will not work. Although there are more companies blocking OneDrive which reduces the benefits of this part externally. For Office365 or those who want to use the web to modify their Excel or Word documents it has a very noticeable lag time but is usable.

No, with the kind of use I am making of OneDrive, it seems that it is always appropriate. It always works well for accessing pictures. The fact that they are classified starting with the most recent helps a lot when you are working with a recent project and want to show the most recent pictures.

Very similar to SharePoint in so much as shared files can be updated by those with access and details on who has done the updates are visible.

Online files have very limited capabilities. Links between files (using formulas) are useless online. Only the traditional method (Explorer with an installed version of applications) is reliable for higher level detail files.

Although OneDrive works great; syncs across my devices and phone, making many documents available wherever I go; you CANNOT turn off the live tile feature. It's Microsoft's hubris forcing live tiles across its applications, without giving users a simple toggle on/off switch.

I like it a lot. Especially since I have a lot of storage space. I do not know how well it would compare to services like Google Docs (with collaborative editing etc.), but for backup purposes (which I use it for), it is intuitive, easy and reliable.

OneDrive is the only solution that allows you to use Microsoft Office software collaboratively. Yet, it is often slow and unresponsive, even making you lose data when multiple people edit the same document together. If you don't need a lot of MS Office features, there are better cloud solutions, e.g. Google Docs, that make collaboration easier but offer less editing features than Office and OneDrive.

OneDrive is an excellent option when you would like to take your work with you on the go, and if you travel a lot or use multiple devices that support OneDrive. If you are going to be using it as a sole means of backing up your local storage, there might be better options out there.
