OneDrive from Microsoft is a cloud storage and file syncing service.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/sR/Aq/R8ZLRHTMSI8D.PNGMicrosoftAn Effective Product Overall2019-08-17T18:22:39.896ZWe are using OneDrive in a few isolated departments and not companywide. It addresses a constant issue that we have as a SaaS company, which is the storage of sensitive data. We need to store things like lead data, but also need to make sure it is on tight lockdown. OneDrive is good for this.,OneDrive is great for securely storing data.
Easy and fairly intuitive.

We needed a solution that was user-friendly, easy to navigate and use from a permissions standpoint. As a growing org, we desperately needed something to house all of our files instead of relying on everyone keeping multiple copies on computers. Our biggest problem OneDrive helped with is ONE location for all updated marketing materials and projects we are working on.
There are a few people that are using GDrive or Box, etc. but the move to OneDrive was seamless and easy for us to make happen and was done quickly and with relatively low effort.,Current copies of updated docs
Ease of use with mobile app/Desktop

We recently moved our users to use Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and we used this storage solution to store the data. This became available to us with Office365.,Data availability when using a different system. I save documents on my work computer and I can access it from my personal computer when logged in using the same corporate account.
There is no need for an external drive to plug in and copy data.

It is incorporated into our corporate email, where we acquired the entire Office 365 package. We concentrate on shared and private files, documents that accompany us everywhere, everything in the tool helps us to make work routines more practical.,It is very easy to use, intuitive, has no way to get in the way.
Useful tools in the suite.
Availability, being in the cloud, follows you wherever you go, you only need a connection to the web.

Since it was implemented in the company, the impact has been positive due to the collaboration resources in the work environment.,Google Drive,TeamViewer, Oracle VM VirtualBox, Skype, Adobe Acrobat DC,9,9Gledson RodriguesOneDrive - A Great Replacement for Personal Servers2019-08-12T20:23:28.516ZOneDrive is being rolled out as a replacement for individual servers for everyone at my global organization. It is addressing the need for cloud storage, collaboration, and secure mobile access. It's helping us stop the use of unapproved and less secure tools like Google Drive and Basecamp. Employees are excited about using it due to the positive improvements to the UX and ease of use.,User Experience - OneDrive is easy to use. It's natively integrated on everyone's computers after downloading it from our App portal. It's just like using local file management on your computer. You can easily tell when files are confirmed to be uploaded with intuitive green check marks.
Web Access - If for some reason you need to access your files from a browser instead of natively, the experience is still positive. When opening a OneDrive file in browser, you can edit in browser with the browser office apps.
Mobile Access - Accessing files on the go is critical these days. The OneDrive mobile app is easy to use and allows you to see all of your files and files shared with you. Paired with other O365 apps, you can also edit files on the go which is very convenient. The O365 mobile apps are great!,Sending Links - Though you can easily share links to files from the web experience, it isn't the same on the native experience. It would be nice if you could right click on a file to share its location with someone vs. opening the office application to share with others.
File Character Restrictions - This isn't just with OneDrive, but sometimes files will not upload due to an unsupported character in the file name.,10,Positive - Less dependency on insecure tools that pose a risk to our business (Google Drive, Dropbox, Basecamp)
Positive - Increased employee productivity due to multi-device access to files and mobile friendly experience.
Positive - Increased collaboration on files as opposed to previously sending files back and forth.,10,10,Google Drive and Dropbox,Microsoft Office 365, Workfront, Skype for Business (formerly Lync)Verified UserOneDrive, best for MS Office users.2016-02-29T17:38:11.476ZEven though our company uses Office 360, there is no company wide policy for using of OneDrive as default file sharing and storage system. Every user has access to their own OneDrive directory. Most people use it to share files with other employees. I use it mostly to share files between many devices. I like to have my documentation accessible whenever I need it. Usually when I have ideas about some documentation I need to write, I start writing it at that moment. It can be in train on my way to work. Then I can open the same document on my office machine and continue working on it. I can imagine more people doing the same.
I also use OneDrive with OneNote - taking notes on my phone or Surface, and open them on desktop to review and organize them.,Integration with office, especially with Office 360.

Note: I use OneDrive as cloud file repository and personal backup solution that has both PC and mobile access. At work, my colleagues (within the department) and my project team use OneDrive for Business to sync our project files and work files as a backup solution.,Seamless syncing and backup over a corporate network. There is no need for manual upload and download of files anymore.

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.,8,As an end user, OneDrive has been super useful for team and department use.
