What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

The interesting thing is most of these shared document platforms sport most of the same features, so it's tough to sort out specific features that are unique to OneDrive, but one thing I do love is the ability to drag from your desktop to a onedrive folder on your computer and have it automatically upload to the cloud and be available anywhere. That is one of the best features as this is far less seamless with Dropbox. Additionally, I really enjoy and appreciate it's seamless integration into our outlook email servers and Microsoft Teams communication channels.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite thing about OneDrive is how quickly it updates from desktop to online. Unlike many of the other services things upload quickly and efficiently and even indicate a progress of completion. Also on this topic, you can see a full version history if you are saving to your one-drive. Lastly, the auto-save feature that integrates with office products is incredibly convenient.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is one major thing that I dislike about onedrive and it is that it does not handle large files well. I have had a hard time both uploading and downloading files that are larger than 5GB and this has not improved while consistently using the product since 2018. I really hope eventually this is not such a hassle!

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is an extremely cost effective solution for someone whos company runs on Microsoft devices. The seamlessness between office products, communication tools, and team symbiosis is enough to pull the trigger on its own, but the price tag definitely puts this one over the top. OneDrive can really save you when you forget to save your documents! It's the way to go for less headaches related to file safety.
