Administrative Coordinator Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love OneDrive " April 22, 2026 5.0 I love OneDrive. It is my most used app as it has basically everything I need to do my job and keep me organized. Pros I love that it is the one place that has everything. It has my meetings, my work schedule, my personal schedule, and all of my emails (obviously) all in one. It is truly my most use app/browser and I love that you can use the browser version or the app version. Cons There is nothing I truly like least about one drive. I wish that they could come up with a better way of unsending emails, and giving me notifications of whether or not it was unsent or not. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneDrive for all" September 23, 2025 5.0 Pros OneDrive is included with our M365 licensing so cost for onedrive specifically is $0, it is very straight forward for our staff, especially our multi-user device users as it copies their desktops across to any computer they login to and it adds that extra needed storage for our staff. it is also really good for sharing large files and managing all our individual and shared documents Cons Honestly not really anything to complain about here, if i was to pick at straws so of our staff need help with how to share but once shown they are usually good. Review Source AM Amber M. HR Advisor Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Brilliant - love One Drive!" March 3, 2026 5.0 I use this system every day and think it is absolutely brilliant - it allows me to access documents on both my laptop & phone with ease. Pros One Drive has great versatility, it is so easy to use and has brilliant storage facility, even for free users. Cons There really is not much at all that I dislike about One Drive, I use the system every day so I guess more free storage would be great. Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) I wanted to keep in line with using other Microsoft products Review Source VR Verified Reviewer App Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable Cloud Storage with Seamless Microsoft Integration" March 28, 2026 4.0 Overall, a reliable and convenient cloud storage service with strong Microsoft integration, though occasional sync issues can affect usability. Pros I liked its seamless file syncing, easy sharing, and integration with Microsoft tools, making collaboration simple and efficient. Cons Occasional sync issues, confusing folder structure, and limited storage on the free plan made it less convenient at times. Review Source AU Abasiofon U. Staff Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best standard file storage " December 7, 2025 4.0 OneDrive makes teamwork really easy in our office. It’s fast, reliable, and works across all our devices. Everyone can open the same spreadsheets, make edits instantly, and save changes without any hassle. It keeps us all on the same page. Pros It’s completely free on Windows. All you need is an account to sign in—either your organization’s Office 365 login or, if you’re using it at home, simply a personal Microsoft account. Cons Sometimes on macOS, OneDrive randomly signs out or stops running in the background. When that happens, my users usually contact me wondering why their files aren’t updating. I end up having to log them back in to kickstart a fresh sync.

Pros This is our main platform software and drive for sharing files across our workplace. Syncing data and real time updates across different folders makes productivity seamless. Cons Performance varies a lot as sometimes file transfer may take a very long time. There may be some issues I have encountered accessing file permissions. Review Source JD Josh D. IT Support Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneDrive - Minimum Requirement for Business Devices" November 20, 2025 5.0 Overall it is a great product that offers users a good level of device backup and sharing capabilities while not charging extra for any 365 licensed users. Working for several MSP's, this is a key and invaluable software for many years to come. Pros OneDrive offers a good level of device backup capability for key folders, removing the requirements for dedicated endpoint backup solutions at a much better value (covered under 365 licensing) with a good base level of storage that most end users will not exceed. It is easy to use and allows for easy file uploading and sharing with external parties. Customer support if needed is acceptable but forum support is general better. Cons OneDrive does suffer some functionality issues, such as crashing, issues with syncing to/from shared locations and struggles when handling the sync of larger SharePoint sites. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Research and Development Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OneDrive is reliable in the background" April 2, 2026 5.0 Overall, I my experience is that Onedrive is smooth and reliable. Most of the time, I don't have to worry if its working or not, I just know that it is. Pros I liked how it was so automatic. I don't have to consciously think if my files are getting to the right place. I just know that they are. If they get to my local onedrive folder on my computer, with time they will get synced to a secure storage in the cloud. Makes my concerns about syncing files between workstations disappear. Cons I had a particularly poor experience when I tried to move a git code repository into my OneDrive. I forget the fine details of what went wrong, but I remember that it really struggled to know which files to sync and basically gummed the whole upload system for days. Review Source FV Filomena V. Privato Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Un ottimo strumento per lavorare ovunque" March 28, 2026 4.0 Nel complesso, la mia esperienza con OneDrive è stata molto positiva. Lo utilizzo quotidianamente per lavoro e mi permette di avere sempre tutto organizzato e accessibile, anche quando sono in mobilità. È uno strumento affidabile, comodo e adatto sia per uso personale che professionale. Pros OneDrive si integra in modo eccellente con l’ecosistema Microsoft e rende molto semplice accedere ai file da qualsiasi dispositivo. La sincronizzazione è veloce e affidabile, e la possibilità di lavorare su documenti condivisi in tempo reale è davvero pratica. Anche l’interfaccia è intuitiva, quindi imparare a usarlo è immediato. Cons A volte la sincronizzazione può rallentare in presenza di file molto pesanti o cartelle con molti elementi. Inoltre, la gestione dei conflitti tra file modificati da più persone non è sempre chiarissima e richiede un po’ di attenzione. Review Source Portia A. Nurse Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and reliable cloud storage for everyday use" April 9, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with OneDrive has been good. It is a reliable tool for storing and sharing files, especially for everyday use. Despite a few syncing issues, it is still very useful and convenient. Pros OneDrive is very easy to use and makes it simple to store and access files from anywhere. I like how it syncs across devices and integrates well with Microsoft Office, which makes working and sharing documents much more convenient. Cons Sometimes the syncing can be slow or confusing, especially when files don’t update straight away. It can also be difficult to organise files if you have a lot stored. Review Source JS Jacob S. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good product" December 29, 2025 5.0 Over the experience has been good and it's been vital to my business and my overall experience personally. Pros It's integrated with Windows and allows me to use the filesystem as if it were actually on my computer. Cons The sync times can be frustrating. Sometimes I will upload documents or files and it may take 15 minutes before my other devices see them. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) Onedrive is more integrated into the filesystem I already use Review Source GC Graziana C. Customer Operations Lead Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneDrive; Benefits and Limitations from the App" January 13, 2026 5.0 Onedrive is a solid app that creates file mobility and ensures seamless access The program issues a valuable and reliable team collaboration, by creating mechanisms that supports sharing of information OneDrive offers a robust and secure cloud back up features and this limits cases of vulnerability or file loss Pros OneDrive makes the access of files seamless and convenient with any connected devices The tool gives a robust integration with other Microsoft platforms and this supports the sharing of information The app issues a limitless cloud storage and it supports timely backup Cons The process of syncing takes longer, more so with larger data or files The app fails to demonstrate or offer encryption keys or controls and this brings privacy concerns Review Source aA alessandro A. INFORMATICO Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Onedrive da tenere in considerazione" February 22, 2026 5.0 Un elemento che rende OneDrive apprezzato è il supporto ai file multimediali. A differenza di altri gestori, come per esempio Sync, che non permettono di vederli in app. Microsoft OneDrive consente la riproduzione su tutte le piattaforme. Potete quindi aprire foto e video in alta qualità per la lettura immediata. Quando aprite le foto, potete aggiungerle a un album ed eseguire alcune funzioni di editing basilare. Per esempio ruotarle o tagliarle, con un controllo versioni per verificare anche quelle precedenti. Se state cercando un buon cloud storage per il caricamento di foto, potrete sfruttare i 5 GB di OneDrive per questa operazione. Naturalmente il gestore dà il meglio di sé quando non usate l’applicazione Web. D’altronde parliamo di una cartella sul vostro computer, perfettamente integrata con Windows. Potete quindi aprire i file con il vostro software preferito ed effettuare tutte le modifiche che desiderate. Se siete soliti fare modifiche approfondite alle foto con Photoshop, niente vi vieta di farlo! Una comodità davvero impareggiabile per gli utenti che usano OneDrive da computer. Pros Interfaccia semplice da usare Compatibilità con tanti sistemi Interessante il fatto del web e della app Cons Piano gratis da 5 GB carente , Assistenza clienti lenta , Mancanza di privacy , Funzionalità ritenute base, come la gestione offline, possono richiedere abbonamenti premium. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer AGM Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why I love One Drive" February 11, 2026 4.0 I have been using this for years now and primarily use it wherever I work within the hospitality industry. Files come me wherever I am. Pros The convenience of having your important files accessible whenever needed wherever I am in the world. Cons It's free options for Microsoft Office software is amazing, however it can glitchy sometimes, but not often Switched from [Dropbox Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) Found this to be more reliable of a product Review Source BB Brendan B. Operations Lead Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamlined Sharing " May 21, 2026 5.0 Pros Onedrive streamlines shared files like word, excel, and adobe pdfs between colleagues - allowing us to remain aligned and update documents for all in real time. Cons Only thing I struggle with is the need to continually add access to new users on any given project. I want the link to be universal when I share it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer export executive Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User-friendly software easy to use" December 19, 2025 5.0 Average scores hover around 4.5/5 on review sites, driven by seamless Microsoft ecosystem compatibility and robust collaboration tools. Many professionals, including those in pharma and tech, highlight its value for real-time editing and cross-device access. Pros Users frequently praise OneDrive for effortless file access across devices, eliminating worries about hardware upgrades or data loss. Real-time collaboration on documents, with autosave and multi-user editing, enhances productivity significantly. Cons Complex permission settings often confuse users, leading to unintended access or overly restrictive shares. Lack of advanced search filters for large libraries further hampers efficiency. Review Source AM Antoine M. Internal Audit Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and practical for cloud storage" April 26, 2026 4.0 Practical use case: storing, syncing and sharing Excel files, memos and working documents in Microsoft 365, especially when several users need a shared and structured process. Pros Microsoft OneDrive works well when the objective is storing, syncing and sharing Excel files, memos and working documents in Microsoft 365. I particularly appreciated file sync, because it makes the process more structured and reduces the need to manage information manually through spreadsheets or emails. Cons What could be improved is that permissions can be confusing. The tool remains useful, but once workflows become specific, configuration choices and governance become important to avoid unnecessary complexity. Review Source AT Anna T. Credentialing Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can’t recommend enough " April 9, 2026 5.0 Overall it’s been a great experience and I highly recommend using OneDrive for all your file sharing needs. Pros I love the ease of linking our entire team files together, the ease of locating files quickly, how seamless it integrates with our software as a whole. It easy to upload and share within our team or even outside our offices to other offices. Cons It can glitch sometimes if we aren’t careful. We can lose files and it takes a while to retrieve them if the IT Dept is tech savvy. Review Source NA Nasywa A. Student Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Reliable cloud storage every student needs" June 26, 2025 5.0 Overall, OneDrive has made managing my academic life much easier. I use it daily to store notes, submit assignments, and collaborate with classmates. The ability to access and edit files from any device gives me great flexibility. It’s an essential tool for any student who needs reliable and secure cloud storage. Pros OneDrive is incredibly helpful for students like me who need to access files across multiple devices. I love how it automatically backs up my documents so I never lose my assignments. It syncs seamlessly with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, making it easy to work on files directly from the cloud. I also appreciate the generous free storage that comes with my student account. Cons Sometimes the syncing process is a bit slow, especially when working with large files or during poor internet connection. Also, the storage limit can become an issue once I upload many presentations and PDFs unless I upgrade to a paid plan. The mobile app is good, but file organization could be slightly more intuitive. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) I recently switched from an Oppo phone to a Samsung device, and during that transition, I decided to look for apps that were more optimized and better integrated with Samsung’s ecosystem. That’s why I changed the software I was using. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Survey Dept Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One Drive is a Powerful Tool in Many Different Ways" December 11, 2025 5.0 I highly recommend it due to it's ability for file access at all times and the transfer of large files which may not be transferable on a flash drive. The searching ability of OneDrive is also powerful allowing you to look for keywords in large amounts of files. Pros Easy to access and allows sharing with anyone I need to allow access. The system also allows me to access my own work remotely that I work on at the office from the field to home. Management and organization also is a great tool it offers. Cons You must pay attention when giving access to people outside the company because permissions will need to be changed before creating the link for persons not using our company email system. Review Source Samantha E. Owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very accessible and easy tool" April 30, 2026 5.0 Overall a very useful tool and great for document storage and images. I appreciate the accessibility Pros It is very easy to use and I bounce between different devices and still pull the needed files and images. Cons Sometimes the cross functionality is not very good and it distorts my files if it’s not a Microsoft document Review Source JG Jesus G. Case Worker Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good cloud storage option" May 1, 2026 3.0 Overall is a great cloud storage, but I think it can do better with the OS integration, and the default settings. Pros It has great integration with Windows, but it might be a bit difficult to use for some people. The service offers about 15gb of free space, and has different pay options for more storage. The upload of files and documents is easy, and integrated in the OS. The files can easily transfer from the cloud to the computer, and very fast, but it does require you to actively do this. If you are without internet for whatever reason, you are going to be locked out of your files. Cons It is set to on by default, this can be a problem for some user, especially those not as tech savvy. Having to turn it off, or to set local storage as your default is a great downside. Review Source SD Steve D. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OneDrive for Anywhere No Fuss File Access" June 7, 2025 4.0 I wish OneDrive were easier to manage what gets uploaded or 'Synced' and what gets left alone. I'm sure there are guides that I just have not found that may clear things up. Overall, OneDrive works for my needs and when I figure out how to use more of its features, OneDrive will be more useful to me. Pros I can take my work anywhere. OneDrive allows me to upload my files so I can get to them anywhere I have access to the internet. Cons OneDrive can be difficult to manage what gets uploaded and what gets left alone on your PC. Even many of the YouTube guides were not making much sense. Alternatives considered [Wasabi](https://www.capterra.com/p/205116/Wasabi/) Reason for choosing OneDrive I'm more familiar with OneDrive and Microsoft than I was with Wasabi. So name recognition was the main reason at that time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Compliance Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Seamless Backbone of the Microsoft Ecosystem" April 17, 2026 4.0 Very reliable, especially as someone who lives in Excel and Word. It feels less like a separate app and more like a core part of the operating system. Pros Files On-Demand feature is easily the best part. It allows me to see and access my entire cloud library directly from File Explorer without actually taking up any space on my local hard drive. Cons If two people edit a non-Office file simultaneously, the system often creates duplicate files with the computer name appended to the filename rather than offering a sophisticated merge tool. Review Source MH Michael H. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Cloud Storage That Works Well with Microsoft" January 14, 2026 5.0 Overall, OneDrive has been a solid and dependable tool for everyday file storage and sharing. It works well with Microsoft Office, and makes collaboration easy. Pros OneDrive works really well with Microsoft Office and makes it easy to store, access, and share files from anywhere. Syncing is dependable, collaboration is simple, and it’s convenient having everything built into the Microsoft ecosystem instead of juggling multiple platforms. Cons Syncing issues pop up occasionally, especially when working with large folders or lots of files, and it’s not always clear what’s causing them. Sharing permissions can also be confusing at times.
