Enterprise-Grade, Secure File Collaboration

What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

OneDrive allows for secure and seamless collaboration on documents. It is a fully compliant solution that provides the audit trail. Other notable features that stand out are real-time co-authoring, version control, and commenting that further improves collaboration. File explorer provides familiar windows explorer experience, so it feels just like working in the native windows folders. OneDrive supports information governance policies for data retention. Each business user on Enterprise plan gets 1 TB storage. You can ask Microsoft support to increase it to 5 TB providing the business justification.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Seamless integration across M365 productivity suite. Text from the images is automatically extracted via OCR and is searchable via Search box. This allows for searching for images based on the text embedded in the image.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It can be a bit of challenge to collaborate with external vendors when there is a really large file.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

When evaluating OneDrive for Business, take in to account the security and compliance requirements in addition to the user productivity. Think about business impact when a user's laptop is lost or stolen and all the files are stored locally on the hard drive vs in the cloud on OneDrive. OneDrive really enables Enterprise Mobility by empowering your users to work anytime, anywhere.
