I don't know which is the security level of data, but for my aims, it's ok > > It's very easy to make excel, powerpoint files and share them with colleagues. The main achievement is that I can modify them and my colleagues can see the updated file immediately. But the best thing is that they can also edit them, and I will see modifcations. I receive an e.mail everytime someone read7edit them. ----- ### "Our Real-World Experience using OneDrive within our Non-Profit Charity" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *06 June 2026* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The biggest advantage for us is that OneDrive gives us a simple way to securely share CRM software updates amongst our PCs, PDF documents and internal files between Board members, IT volunteers and wider volunteers without relying on USB sticks, E-mail attachments or people working from different file versions. The fact that it integrates naturally with the rest of Microsoft 365 also makes collaboration and access management much easier for a volunteer-led 100% non-profit like ours. > > **Cons**: We haven't really found many major downsides ourselves, although like any shared file platform, a few initial permissions niggles, folder structures and file organisation that still needed managed properly or things could have become messy over time; a particular issue when volunteers come and go over time, or people work from different devices. > > Overall, our experience with OneDrive has been extremely positive for our charity. It's a simple, reliable way to share CRM software updates for the admin and membership volunteer team, plus PDF documents and internal files across Board members and non-board volunteers. That reduces reliance on email attachments and keeps people working from the same versions of files (we learned that the hard way\!). Like any shared platform it still needs managed properly, but for us it has largely just worked. ----- ### "Not Impressed" — 2.0/5 > **Kevin** | *17 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud drive access across multiple devices is key in this industry. Having secure files that can be accessed at a moments notice is priceless. > > **Cons**: Accessing files with low signal is pointless because it takes too much time if it even happens at all. Issues with uploads and downloads and availability off line made it pointelss. > > I am not impressed and hate that all my microsoft equipment hourly begs or tries to trick me into buying more backup. If you do get tricked into backing up your files you are immediately prompted that you are out of space and need to buy a subscription. ----- ### "OneDrive:Secure Storage Made Simple" — 4.0/5 > **Souvik** | *25 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The "Files On-Demand" feature has been liked by lots of people because it has been a built-in feature of Windows right from the start. This feature enables you to view all your files in File Explorer, even if they are not physically taking up space on your hard drive until you choose to open them. > > **Cons**: I would​‍​‌‍​‍‌ often say that the interface, particularly the web version, is cumbersome in comparison to the beautifully minimalistic look of Google Drive. It can be quite a task to share a file with an external user and set the right permissions, as if you were finding your way through a complicated forest of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌menus. > > As​‍​‌‍​‍‌ a security professional who always looks for more efficiency, I see OneDrive as a high-utility digital architecture that fits beautifully with my focus on smart systems.In fact, I have a cleaned-up workspace where all my technical logs and security documentation are accessible without having to fill up my hard ​‍​‌‍​‍‌drive. ----- ### "Cloud storage for everyday documents" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 July 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really appreciate that how easy it is to use OneDrive if the user is already up with Microsoft 365. Uploading and managing documents is fast and smooth also the changes made in any file or document gets saved instantly. The setup takes just few minutes and the files sync within no time in all the devices. > > **Cons**: The storage gets filled very quickly and also gets poor assistance from the customer support when needed. > > All in all my experience with OneDrive has been positive. It offers good features and is worth the money. ----- Page: 1 / 513\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91652/onedrive?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91652/onedrive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
