Easy auto-save and syncing if you already use Microsoft accounts. > > **Cons**: Works best when you have internet connection. Difficult to use remotely, for example on a train Sometimes issues with syncing Not ideal for cross platform use > > Overall, one drive is great. I like the interface and I like that it interacts well with windows It makes it easy to share files with others in the business ----- ### "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 ----- ### "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. ----- ### "A Solid and Secure File Management Solution for Teams" — 4.0/5 > **Hadi** | *23 April 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: OneDrive enables incredibly easy storing and sharing files which comes handy especially if most of your work is with Microsoft products. Device to device syncing works without any hiccups and with SharePoint, Teams and Office apps, you get a very nice flow of work for single and group projects. Being able to see past versions is a great feature you can simply return to an earlier file version or reverse the changes that you didn't mean to make. When it comes to support, having the capability to grant permissions, share with security, and keep the same level of user access at all times - are very important aspects from an operational point of view. > > **Cons**: There is always a chance of syncing conflicts, mainly when several users are working on big files at the same time. Sometimes the desktop sync client stops working and you have to restart it manually. The division of storage between OneDrive and SharePoint may be a bit puzzling for users who don't have much technical knowledge, and at times the differences between personal and shared libraries are also not immediately apparent. Aside from that, upload speeds can fluctuate. > > Generally, OneDrive has proven to be a reliable cloud storage and collaboration tool that is a perfect match for regular work patterns. In my capacity as a technical product support specialist, it has become a tool that greatly helps in sharing files, handling documentation and facilitating collaborations across various teams. Thanks to the seamless integration with Microsoft 365, team members can edit documents together without any hindrances. Although there are a few issues from time to time with synchronization, the software is still very reliable, safe, and powerful for use by both individuals and organisational use. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 515\ 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
