Overall Satisfaction with OneDrive
Since the use of file servers is less and less popular, it was logical that our users start using Dropbox and Google Drive. When we did the migration to Office 365, OneDrive became an option for many of our users. Although use is not very popular in the enterprise, storage of 1TB is very attractive. I can not identify specific groups or a department, but the use of "Sharepoint Apps" in OneDrive is a benefit for many.
- 1 TB of storage, which is very cool.
- Embedded with SharePoint and Yammer.
- IT can manage it like a SharePoint site.
- No "Transfer Ownership" feature, meaning that when you remove an employee license (termination for example), the data is deleted on the backend.
- The sync client is very buggy.
- Slow.
- Since it's part of Office 365, it's free.
- If synced with devices, it can fill the hard drive.
Google Drive (With Google Docs) is very similar to OneDrive. You can store files, edit, and collaborate. Google Drive is a little more robust, but they don't use the native format of Word/Excel, so you won't be able to edit in the Office suite. Very bad. OneDrive uses native Office files.
