En las reuniones, puedo acceder a la documentación necesaria desde cualquier PC, incluso de mi celular. Es fantástico. Pros Puedes tener todas las carpetas de tu ordenador en la nube, es decir, si cambias de equipo sólo debes iniciar sesión y tendrás todo ahí. Puedes trabajar en las aplicaciones de office del escritorio, no es necesario trabajar en las aplicaciones web, a medida que avanzas automáticamente se va guardando y sincronizando en a web. Puedes crear y eliminar carpetas y subcarpetas. Cons si bien es una herramienta personal, de cada usuario, sería interesante poder crear sitios de onedrive. Se debería poder integrar y sincronizar con Power bi. Review Source AL Alberto L.

It's easy enough for most users and has enough options for power users to not feel bogged down or too limited. Pros As part of an existing Microsoft 365 subscription, this allows you to deploy a managed file sharing and collaborative tool without having to spend extra money. Easy to implement/deploy. Cons The browser interface isn't the most attractive and if you don't plan accordingly, many of the most used features may require setup by your IT department or System Admin. Alternatives considered [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Reason for choosing OneDrive The Microsoft 365 subscription kept our costs low. Review Source JJP Juvhel Jason P.

Pros What I like about One Drive is the Data Back up and Data Recovery feature. With One Drive, its like you will never have data loss incident. Cons So far, I don't see any issues with One Drive. Review Source AN Amy N. Co-owner Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect cloud storage for home and business" October 10, 2020 5.0 I've used OneDrive for several years now and have converted several people onto it as well. If you are a Microsoft user, it's a no-brainer to use this to safely save anything and everything you'll need. I have tons of personal and professional files stored in OneDrive and I never have to worry about losing files again. Its been very easy to organize and access my files from anywhere, but even if you aren't organized, their search function is great. I use this at least 10 times a day. It's quick, easy, and helps to ease my mind that everything from my business financial files to baby photos of my children are secure and will never be lost. Pros I'm a lifelong PC user and a small business owner. I love being able to have my personal and professional files safe and easily accessible from any device I'm using (phone, tablet, laptop). With my Office 365 subscription, I can also add my business partner and kids to my OneDrive account so that all of our documents, photos, and links are available to whoever needs them. It's also easy to upload, organize, and share files and links. Cons I use OneDrive to store and backup all my documents and I love it. My only issue has nothing to do with OneDrive itself, but rather that some of my clients prefer to use Google Drive because it's free and they don't need a paid account to have a shared cloud drive. Because of this, I often have to use both drives. However, because I trust OneDrive, I always save everything there first before uploading a copy onto Google Drive. Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) I typically have Microsoft products for personal and business use. I used Dropbox for a while because Microsoft didn't have a cloud drive that I liked. Once OneDrive was introduced, I tried it and loved how easily it worked with my Outlook, Office Suite, etc. I transferred everything over to OneDrive and never looked back.

Pros It's software for everyone who works with, and or creates documents. Therefore fitting all documentation needs from creating, drafting, updating, and communicating feedback. With storage, tools, support, and much more, it is the software that you won't have to look at anymore. Cons I don't like how there are not multiple options for deleting or removal of unwanted documentation in storage.

October 11, 2022 5.0 Allows access to your files anywhere you go on any device but with the security of your Microsoft account and individual file sharing settings. Great amount of storage. Pros I love the fact I can get files on my mobile but move them to OneDrive to free up storage and have access to them on any other device. Cons It can take a while for large files to upload, but I am grasping at straws for a criticism as it is very easy to access and navigate. Review Source GG Giulia G. Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Condivisione di file e collaborazione " April 2, 2023 5.0 Come Manager di un importante società di consulenza mi trovo a gestire team differenti, che lavoro su altrettanti clienti, ed a dover revisionare varie tipologie di documenti: ppt, word, Excel. La possibilità di poter accedere agli stessi da remoto, con qualsiasi dispositivo, rivederli e renderli subito disponibili ai miei collaboratori accelera di molto il mio lavoro. Pros Il servizio OneDrive consente di archiviare file su server Microsoft per renderli disponibili su vari dispositivi e condividerli con i proprio collaboratori. È possibile impostare, per ogni file, un differente livello di autorizzazione con la persona con la quale si è deciso di condividerlo, in tal modo si può consentire la sola lettura dello stesso oppure la lettura e la scrittura. Un elemento fondamentale di OneDrive è la sua perfetta integrazione con Office 365, software particolarmente usato nel mondo del lavoro. Ciò permette un archiviazione, in modo semplice, sicura dei file e permette che sugli stessi possano lavorare più persone appartenenti al proprio gruppo di lavoro. Cons la sincronizzazione dei documenti, alcune volte, può risultare lenta e così la collaborazione in contemporanea diviene macchinosa. Review Source AE Alex E.

Pros What I like about the application is the fact that you can restore your documents on any device and at any location. The interface allows for easy use and quick and easy file sharing. Cons the application presents a very small storage space and inferior to the memories of the devices we use and is a bit expensive compared to other applications Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) we have been the victim of hacking on several occasions Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Owner Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "10/10 would recommend one drive" October 28, 2022 4.0 One Drive makes it easy to connect all your devices to give you more flexibility and reliability with your data. Pros I like how user-friendly it is. It is very versatile with software and devices. I have used it since I bought my first microsoft subscription nearly 12 years ago Cons I don't have anything negative to say, I think the software is great Review Source Nathan R. Director, Management Information Systems Public Policy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect Cloud Storage" September 6, 2018 5.0 No more VPN connections to the corporate network in order to access office files on a server, as now files are in the cloud on Microsoft's servers. Using Azure AD Connect to synch usernames and passwords with the local domain, users have an SSO experience even while utilizing the full benefits of cloud-based file storage. Pros You can access your files from anywhere you have access to the Internet. The latest updates allow you store all your files in the cloud while having access to them from your PC through Windows Explorer, too, allowing access to them from within every application. However, they take up no space on your hard drive until you open them--brilliant! So if you have a small SDD drive on your laptop, problems with storage space just got solved. After you've worked with the file, simply return it to the cloud and free up your hard drive space again. Need to share a file or folder with someone? That's a cinch, as you create a share link from within Windows or through the OneDrive interface on the web, choosing to allow editing or read only access, as well as whether the link should expire after a certain period of time. Sharing a link to a document means your recipient can access the latest version whenever the link is clicked. If you work on the file through Office 365, then the collaborative opportunities are opened, as you can work on a file together. OneDrive is perfectly integrated into all Office 365 apps as well as Windows 10 itself (just make sure to have the latest version of Windows installed to take advantage of OneDrive's latest innovations). One last trick OneDrive does is to preview some file types even if the associated app is not installed (browser only). Cons While it will back up files you explicitly place in your machine's OneDrive folder, by copying them to the cloud, it does not perform system backups. So if you want system backups to be in the cloud on OneDrive, you will need to run them with a system backup utility and then copy them to OneDrive (depending on your backup utility, you might be able to automate writing backup copy to OneDrive). Review Source TZ Thomas Z. THOMAS ZULU Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Benefit of Cloud based Storage-OneDrive" August 25, 2021 5.0 Microsoft One Drive is a platform that allows me to store information and synchronize the file with new updates. This has been a cloud-based file hosting mechanism, such that it allowed multiple users access within our team to the information at the same time and synchronize in real time when connected to the internet or save the update on the file and update the system file when connected to the internet. It allowed me to create a duplicate of the physical filling system in the cloud as a backup, as such that I could upload or download files from the cloud storage at any point. Pros The platform is an all-user cloud-based storage service, that allows free space for user that might not afford the subscription storage service fees and minimal subscription fees for user who can afford. The platform provides a secure back up options for user. Whereby users can store a soft copy duplicate of the physical file and soft copy would be downloaded and accepted a true copy of the physical file in the event of a damage to the hard copy. The platform is a website platform meaning there is no set up cost except for the minimal cost in the PC and internet cost The platform allows multiple access user at the same time and synchronize in real-time. And so, no physical files movement is required between user as this is done in the cloud and in real-time. The platform does not require any user training before use as any user with basic username and password knowledge can use it. Which this is the basic user requirement for this platform. It reduces the user back up or security cost as the storage is the cloud. which is a secure and act as an offsite back up. And so, no need for user offsite backup cost Cons I have had no challenges with this platform in the last 6 years from 2016.

It has fixed the challenge of sharing data across teams working remotely and the fact that it is extremely user friendly is an added plus. It provides a great back up solution for all our data directly from the desktop. Pros OneDrive is a superb cloud storage service that has fixed my storage and back up needs.

Pros A segurança de ter seus arquivos e documentos salvos em nuvem podendo ser acessados de qualquer local, e também a facilidade de editá-los e trabalhar de qualquer lugar. Com isso podemos aproveitar o máximo de efetividade que nós é fornecida.

April 26, 2022 5.0 It's the most straightforward and effective cloud based storage I have worked with. It integrates seamlessly with Windows and Office products. It offers rights-restricted access and other controls to maintain document integrity. Pros It works just like other Office based solutions. The UI is easy to work with and very intuitive. I save everything to my OneDrive so that I can access it from anywhere I wish. With OneDrive, when I upgrade my computer or replace it, I don't have to transfer any files or data - because it is all cloud based and accessible as long as I have my username and password. It works flawlessly and has been a game-changer in the hybrid world of work. Cons Depending on your internet connection and file size, documents can be slow to upload/download. This is not a unique issue to OneDrive, but more of an observation vs. using local storage on a pc. It is rarely an issue and typically only happens with large .ppt files - 100MB+ Review Source Esther T.

Entertainer / Podcaster Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One Drive Review from an Apple user" April 21, 2022 5.0 I have been a user for about 3 years since I subscribed to a family plan. The overall experience has been great considering I'm a Mac / iPhone user. I don't use One Drive as a main computer backup / Sync but mostly to upload backups of large files (I'm a video editor) so I use the website directly. I do have all my Word, Excel , Powerpoint files in One Drive and some of them in collaboration / sharing with my life partner. I use the desktop apps of each one of them. The 365 family plan is a no brainer if you're living with someone who's benefited with tools like Office and needs a good and reliable storage with great security and encryption. Mobile apps are great too and with awesome integration with Apple / Google apps. Pros The fact that it's included in the whole Microsoft package make it a very complete and an atractive option for data / files storage while still using the basic Office Tools. The encryption security is very strong too Cons Sometimes it crashes, specially when you access it from the website. It also fails to reproduce some media files from the website. You have to download them. Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) The integration with the Office Tools and the family plan subscription , which my life partner and I enjoy the most for study and work purposes, besides the 1TB of storage each, great value for the money Review Source Efrain H.

You shouldn't be forced to have those programs, even more when this one is already getting obsolete. Pros When in the early years of it's developing, we had a lot more storage to keep our files safe wich were satisfying 25gb for free, now, if you don't register, you get only 5gb of space, not even being able to choose if One Drive comes already installed on your computer or not. Cons One Drive is not straight foward. You need to seek for the specific folder of it in order to find where you (probably) mistakenly put some of your files when trying to save a recent made document on Microsoft Word. Sometimes it won't even save your files, because you need to keep yourself online to keep your files acessible from another place. Also, sharing is so slow to make, that you can just go to Google Docs and create a collaborative document and share it instanly. Also you can only get 15gb for free if you register to Microsoft, even if you are forced to have it on you computer if you buy from Microsoft. Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) One Drive always gave me a headache trying to find, store and share my files. Docs offers a lighter, smother and faster way of doing all of it and I don't even need to install it. As on the other hand, One Drive always comes with the Windows pc you buy, you wanting it or not.

Some Storage upgrades are bundled with Microsoft 365 Productivity apps like Excel, word and powerpoint are better than Google drive's apps Cons Some features can be hard to navigate for the inexperienced user. Less free storage capacity than Google Drive.

Making it very easy to access and retrieve. The ease of organizing helps in setting up and use it for business purpose efficiently. Like having different folders for different format of documents.

Integrates seamlessly across Microsoft 365 apps. Files can be accessed securely anywhere online. Automatic saving is great for making quick changes that automatically sync to your drive. Security is great and access and permission controls are simple and easy to implement for users both inside and outside your organisation. Files can be shared and viewed online without having the receiver to download the file to their device. Cons Collaboration on documents and projects could be improved. An in-app feature to communicate with others beyond making comments would be useful. Much prefer using word and other Microsoft products in-app rather than in browser to have full functionality when editing documents. Therefore, the in-browser experience could be improved to match their in-app counterparts. Review Source Nigel D.

October 14, 2022 5.0 I have been using OneDrive for many years and love the simplicity and automation. I never have to worry about have secure copies of my files. Office files are automatically saved as I type and the system keeps a version history just in case I need to revert to earlier versions. Pros Easy to set up and use. Learning curve is pretty easy. Once set up it is automated. I have the local copies of all my files and folders automatically backed-up to the cloud. I get 1TB of storage 'free' with my Office 365 subscription for my personal use. I can share my subscription with my family and get 6TB total - that is really great. File sharing is really easy and really useful. It is great to be able to work on documents simultaneously with colleagues - we can both see live updates in a document that we both have open. This make collaboration 'real-time' and it is really useful. Cons I don't feel that there is anything missing from OneDrive that I would need out of a file storage platform. It more than meets my needs.
