Michelle T
Paralegal
5.0

Speaker 1: My name is Michelle and I'm a paralegal owner at MTP Paralegal Services, and I would give OneDrive a five out of five. Before OneDrive, I was using iCloud, and I wasn't able to properly share it with my teammates, but on OneDrive I was able to... it's easier for me to share access with my teammates. Okay, I chose OneDrive because I was able to incorporate it into everything that I used, which included Excel, and also Word documents, and I was also able to save other files. It was quite easy to get OneDrive into the business, because everybody was already familiar with Microsoft, so it was an easy transition. My only advice would be to probably keep your password, if you're sharing it with different people, to have access to that, because sometimes it does sign out, and so when you're trying to access the file, sometimes you need to re-sign in. That would be my advice to anybody using it with other users.
