Fantastic replacement for network home drives

What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

It integrates perfectly with Office 365. The transition from using network user drives works very well with Group Policy settings. Collaboration options are also very strong.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Once it is set up, it just works with very few issues if ever. Our users have been very satisfied with OneDrive after switching away from network use drives. It can also sync up to Sharepoint Document Libraries, and this is extremely useful for collaboration.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There really isn't anything I dislike about OneDrive. We're still working through some Group Policy settings to get auto sign-in to work, but it seems to work for most. That's more an issue with Group Policy potentially than OneDrive though.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For anyone using Office 365, they should give OneDrive a try. This is especially true if they're still using network user drives. Being able to access files from anywhere is very valuable to our users. Syncing with Sharepoint files is also valuable.

What differentiates Microsoft OneDrive for Business from other similar products?

OneDrive is designed in a way that it is able to provide users immediate access to their data no matter where they are located. Sharinga file is simple with OneDrive and I consider it a more secure and efficient form of sharing that has no size limitations

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I like best is it is possible to set a Kbps limit on how much bandwidth I am willing to let OneDrive use for uploads and downloads

What do you dislike most about this product?

Microsoft makes Sharepoint-OneDrive integration not only possible but relatively straightforward. However when I move a file from OneDrive to Sharepoint, old hyperlinks to the original document no longer work

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a storage provider that makes it easy to share folders and files with individuals inside and outside the organization, OneDrive may be the one you are looking for.
