Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience with OneDrive, I have been using OneDrive for quite a while now and I would for sure recommend.
Pros
Being able to back up files from all my devices that I'm logged into, file sharing across all my logged in devices, and the price for the cloud services is very reasonable especially considering every bonus that is included when paying for cloud and being able to share it with family.
Cons
Personally the only thing that I would change is the way OneDrive categorizes uploaded photos from mobile.

Microsoft OneDrive: Reviewing Its Integration and Functionality

Overall, OneDrive is an essential aspect of how I interact with the Microsoft 365 environment and collaborate with others across a variety of work-related devices. While it has its issues, I could not imagine working in a Microsoft workspace without it.
Pros
What I like most about OneDrive is its ease of use and integration with most of my applications (Microsoft Office Apps, Teams, and Outlook). The layout mirrors the interface of Windows File Explore, which presents a layer of familiarity for me as I primarily use the Windows operating system.
Cons
There are a few things that I dislike about OneDrive. First, maximizing its use requires dependency on the Microsoft suite of products. This can limit functionality if you have more than one workspace or environment that you have in your organization.

IT was an utter nightmare. I was never assigned a company Microsoft email addy so I was told to sign in using my existing hotmail account from 1997. Big Mistake. Somehow my personal files ended up on the main company drive, and some were LOST when I was pruned from the company account. I do not recall giving OneDrive permission to merge my stuff with the company's but whatevs. To this day I have issues logging into my 25 year old hotmail account, which I keep for throwaway emails and such. Also, it downloaded the entire OneDrive account onto my Macbook Pro and caused glitches, crashes, and other weirdness that only went away when I wiped the machine and started over. OneDrive is just too complicated for small business.
Pros
I liked how it was easy to share docs and digital assets. It's a good platform for Enterprise.
Cons
There was never any way to know if you were working on the latest version of a doc or asset. So many times we'd end up with ten different copies and no way to know which was the "official" doc bc everyone edited their own copy and not a master copy. Caused a lot of problems, hurt feelings, and needless reprimands.

I use it every day. I sync my documents as I have two computers I use and smart devices. I have rarely had any problems personally. Some of my staff, who are not as "tech savvy", have had issues with the overall system.
Pros
Syncing documents across devices is easy to use once set up. It can work with documents and saves synchronously. Some users love that OneDrive works across Windows and syncs with many areas of OS.
Cons
Initial set-up can be tricky if you are not familiar with the platform. Microsoft is very pushy about getting users to sign in and use services. It can be not very pleasant at times.

It has made my digital life much easier by giving me a simple and accessible place to store files that lets me access and share files and collaborate on projects. And, whether I’m doing a personal project or working with my colleagues, OneDrive helps me have my files accessible wherever I am and on any device I use.
Pros
OneDrive is my digital file cabinet — I put everything important away and can access it whenever I want. I appreciate how well it works with Windows and other Microsoft programs, the auto backup and auto sync functions to guarantee my data is never lost or corrupt, and how much free storage it gives.
Cons
It can be a great cloud storage solution, but syncing problems from time to time can make it hard, especially when the file is large or the internet is too slow.

My experience with OneDrive has been disappointing. The storage space provided is insufficient, and the cost is too high for the amount of space you get. Additionally, I found the software intrusive as it created a folder within my documents without my consent. Overall, OneDrive did not meet my expectations for a cloud storage solution.
Pros
neDrive integrates well with other Microsoft products, which can be convenient if you are already using tools like Microsoft Office.
Cons
The storage capacity is too low, especially given the high cost. The price does not justify the limited space provided. Additionally, the way OneDrive inserts a folder into my documents is frustrating and disruptive to my file organization. This lack of flexibility and control over how my files are managed is a significant drawback.

Pros
What I like the most is the Quick Access in OneDrive. All the projects and all the most used shared documents or sites show up.
Cons
When displaying the files there is way too much detail with the file. It is just too much there.

I am happy with OneDrive as it automatically works independently on the background as it syncs every file that you save locally.
Pros
I like OneDrive ability to save every document that I have in my computer. It has proven to be a lifesaver a number of times when I have accidently deleted a file on my local computer and fortunately I am always able to find the deleted files through OneDrive.
Cons
If you do not want everything on your computer to sync to OneDrive, you will need to set it up properly.

This is a life saver for our corporate team in our company. We are all located in different states so it makes it easy to share and collaborate with each other in a secure space.
Pros
We use One Drive for all of the document sharing in our company. It is easy and feels secure that if something were to happen to my computer, all of my documents are saved in One Drive.
Cons
When I go to save something on OneDrive, it seems to lag a little bit. Otherwise, it works great.

Better File Organization

The experience with Onedrive was relatively good. I like many things about it and it's familiar.
Pros
Onedrive is pre-installed on some devices and with an existing Microsoft account there is no need to do anything other than sign in. Onedrive is secure and allows me to restrict access as needed.
The best feature in my opinion is file organization. It's a practical and logical system. I can pull up any file I need almost instantly.
Onedrive is part of a larger group of software that can be even more helpful as a whole. OneNote, for example. Office is another that I found helpful of course. Help is relatively easy to find. The price and alloted storage are good if you've bundled with Office/365.
Cons
Large files and sharing can be troublesome due to limited options. Synchronization has limited options as well. I've had a problem with duplicate files.
I question if Onedrive is the best option for business accounts.

I've had a great overall experience with OneDrive. It has made my personal life and work much easier as I no longer have to carry around flash drives. I can save files from programs like Microsoft Office directly to the OneDrive service, and it's so easy to find them when I need to use them again. I highly recommend using OneDrive – it will make your life much easier too!
Pros
How easy it is to upload files to the cloud. You get plenty of space to keep all of your files.
Cons
Sometimes it closes down and you have to reopen the program to get everything to sync again.

Excellent built-in solution for O365/Windows users
Reviewed on 2024/03/24
Pros
With OneDrive, you can toss all your files, pics, and vids up in the cloud. No need to worry about running out of space on your devices, and you can access your stuff from anywhere with internet.
If you're into Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, OneDrive plays nicely with them. You can edit and collaborate on your docs straight from the cloud, which is super handy for group projects or just sharing stuff with friends. Make a change to a file on your laptop? No worries, OneDrive syncs it up across all your devices automatically. So, you're always working with the latest version, whether you're on your phone, tablet, or computer.
OneDrive makes it easy to share files or folders with others. You can work on stuff together in real-time, which is awesome for team projects or when you're brainstorming with friends. Your files are safe with OneDrive. They've got all sorts of security measures in place, like encryption and multi-factor authentication. Plus, they back up your stuff regularly, so you can breathe easy knowing your important files are protected.
Cons
One drawback of using OneDrive is that the free storage limit can be relatively small compared to other cloud storage services. While it offers a decent amount of free space, users may find themselves needing to upgrade to a paid plan if they have a large amount of data to store. This could be a downside for those who are looking for extensive storage options without wanting to pay for additional space.

I've been super pleased with it. Refreshing end users' laptops went from taking 30 minutes to an hour to less than 5 minutes for migrating the data.
Pros
Moving data between computers is incredibly easy. Beforehand I would have to manually move data via hard drives. Being able to sign into OneDrive and have all your data move over seamlessly is an amazing feature that I would hate to go without.
Cons
Since we don't use OneDrive too much outside of the backups, there really isn't any cons.

It’s incredibly convenient for anyone already using Microsoft’s suite of tools, as it integrates smoothly with Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. On the downside, if you're not fully immersed in Microsoft’s ecosystem, it might not offer as many benefits compared to other cloud storage services.
Pros
If you are microsoft ecosystem user, such as Word, PPT, Teams, Excell, OneDrive is an excellent cloud storage service. OneDrive integrate with other Microsoft services and offers a user-friendly interface and allows for easy file sharing, syncing, and collaboration across devices.
Cons
The main disadvantages could be that if you are not microsoft ecosystem user, you should check other storage service which are syncing with your softwares.
