Overall Satisfaction with OneDrive
OneDrive is our preferred individual cloud storage platform. Students use it for class projects and collaboration, Faculty and staff use it for backup and syncing files across multiple devices. It's great that we have it as part of our O365 subscription, so it is easily available and supportable for all users.
- Sync - OneDrive does a great job having files available across all devices, particularly the on-demand sync available on Win10 and newer.
- Backup - I've used file versions and folder versions multiple times to revert to an older copy or undo an accidental deletion.
- Processing changes - This can take quite a while, particularly when a large number of files have changed or after a reboot.
- Syncing multiple accounts - It's possible, but not as intuitive as some other cloud storage apps.
- OneDrive makes it easier to support users since it is a Microsoft product and available to everyone.
- Because the sync app works on Mac and PC, mobile and desktop, and even web there really isn't a place where it's impossible to access your files easily.
- Dropbox and Google Drive
OneDrive is integrated with O365 and Outlook, as well as Windows is really the game-changer. Dropbox and Google pioneered the way, but Microsoft has a tightly integrated, dead simple solution here that I struggle to find complaint with. Google gives some better options for converting files based on type (particularly photos).
