File synchronisation across devices is reliable, and the ability to co‑author documents directly in Office apps improves productivity. It also works well for secure file sharing within an organisational environment. > > **Cons**: File organisation and navigation can become confusing, especially when working across multiple folders, shared libraries, and synced locations. There can also be occasional issues with sync delays or conflicts when multiple users update files offline or simultaneously. Managing permissions and understanding ownership across shared files is not always straightforward. > > Overall, OneDrive provides a strong and dependable experience for document storage and collaboration within the Microsoft ecosystem. It is particularly effective for organisations already using Microsoft 365, as it fits naturally into existing workflows. While some usability and governance challenges exist, it remains a reliable tool for day‑to‑day file management. ----- ### "Great functionality, lacking some management visibility and features" — 4.0/5 > **connor** | *18 March 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of sharing documents internally, and externally depending on Org settings and policies. Having native integrations and tie-ins to local file explorer allow ease of use > > **Cons**: From an administrative perspective, it leaves a lot to be desired - especially after working with on premise solutions such as Active Directory, which provides clear and intuitive management of organisational objects and permissions > > It provides great functionality for end users and alleviates some requirement from IT professionals to roll out file sharing resources and platforms. It leaves a lot to be desired in relation to it's 'cousin' - i.e on premise active directory file and user management. It overlaps a lot with Sharepoint functionality and having the sharepoint app renamed some time ago to Onedrive for Business causes a lot of confusion for both end users and junior adminsitrators ----- ### "Easy file sharing and access everywhere." — 5.0/5 > **Jon** | *14 January 2026* | Dairy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple, sync’d and safe. The easy to use storage solution for business, home and on-the-road. Providing a value for money solution to accessing your documents anywhere any time. Upload your files, photos, documents and access them from anywhere. Be it via a computer, mac, phone or tablet, the software and apps work flawlessly, with light speed precision and top search facilities. > > **Cons**: There’s nothing really to dislike. Everything just works. With one sign in. Across every device. No drama. > > I’ve used Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud and Google Drive. But I would say OneDrive probably works the best across multiple devices. It’s the smoothest most reliable experience. Even on an iPhone. ----- ### "The essential cloud companion for Windows users" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the seamless integration with Microsoft 365. Being able to autosave Word and Excel documents directly to the cloud ensures I never lose progress, and the "Files On-Demand" feature saves massive amounts of space on my local hard drive. > > **Cons**: The sync errors can be incredibly frustrating and sometimes difficult to resolve without a restart. I also find the web interface to be significantly slower and less intuitive than the desktop folder integration when managing large batches of files. > > My experience has been very reliable for professional use. It makes document management and collaboration simple across multiple devices. While the search functionality could be faster, the overall convenience of the Windows integration is unmatched. ----- ### "Our Real-World Experience using OneDrive within our Non-Profit Charity" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *6 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. ----- Page: 1 / 511\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/161304/onedrive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/161304/onedrive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
