Overall Satisfaction with OneDrive
OneDrive is available to all students, faculty, and staff across my large state university. Within my department, we use OneDrive to share working files via email. Perhaps unnecessarily, our institution also provides unlimited storage via Box, which is the more dominantly used tool in most of our work. It seems to have fewer kinks than OneDrive for general file storing, sharing, and collaborative editing purposes.
- It's an easy way to share collaborative files via email.
- It's a quick place to access files remotely.
- The online version of O365 apps, such as Word/Excel/PowerPoint, have limited functionality in a browser. OneDrive allows editing via desktop app, but the autosave function is often gimmicky when used in this manner.
- It's simply not as smooth or intuitive as similar tools, such as Box and Dropbox.
- It's provides us with an additional cloud storage place that's quick and easy to access, especially when communicating via Outlook in a browser.
- As a part of an organization with Box, OneDrive feels unnecessary.
- Box, Dropbox and Google Drive
It's roughly the same as Googe Drive but underperforms when compared to Box and Dropbox.
