Overall Satisfaction with OneDrive

OneDrive is something that is offered by the organization but has not been the main storage for users. This was recently added to the inclusion of Office365 and users wanting to access their information across devices. We do have other in-house solutions that are a bit more seamless but the availability of OneDrive across platforms and devices can be really handy with the number of people that travel for business.
  • Multiple Devices
  • Multiple Platforms
  • Availibility
  • Sometimes it can be hard to find and save to onedrive depending on the device. If you are using the same devices it seems to have this information hand for saving purposes.
  • We have had some sync errors that we are currently researching to resolve.
  • There have also been some issues with the user's company account and their personal account that has caused some headaches with items not being stored in the right place.
  • Helped traveling users stay connected to documents when they have not been able to access the network
  • Neutral on if there is any true time saving versus network drive options
  • Cost is more than using network options
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 is great on the personal level and corporate level to allow you to have a central storage space. The downfall is having to switch back and forth between accounts and making sure you are using the correct one. Some small errors with syncs and the software has caused some frustration for the users and some have even resulted to using a shared or personal network drive.
