What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

The added value of the Microsoft Office suite comes along with the possibility of sharing Word documents, Excel data records, PowerPoint research and OneNote meetings and colleagues, as our research team developed its project: We still have to produce separate sections of the report with OneDrive. Today, we can operate on the same document instantly, save resources, improve quality and encourage better teamwork

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Microsoft OneDrive for Business allows data storage and uploading and communication anywhere with all your staff. Data from anywhere to save and distribute. Microsoft OneDrive for Business gives all of your devices a native desktop, browser and mobility. Auto-synchronize access changes in the cloud or sync local file copies to be displayed and edited on your PC or Mac offline. You can see with whom you share files. Each employee can easily release and set certain access rights for their files, depending on the company configuration, through release via the application itself.

What do you dislike most about this product?

You can't synchronize the files in the free version of Microsoft OneDrive for Business offline as opposed to Dropbox or Google Drive. Although we can still manually import the data, you do not want to equate it to the two other storage choices of the cloud version.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The Cloud Storage Program is really simple to customize Microsoft OneDrive for Business. All we have to do is install the program and connect, irrespective of what you have, your Live or Hotmail account. Pictures are relatively simple to upload, download and organize. Sharing images and folders with email recipients is also helpful. Editing permissions can also be acknowledged or refused. Security is also enhanced by access to the PIN code.
