It help with resorting information and access it so I'm happy with it. ----- ### "Best Online Storage Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Orlando** | *18 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can collaborate with on files with my team and securely share files with external parties. I enjoy the feature where I can manage permissions and access the files on mobile on-the-go. > > **Cons**: The limitation number of characters for One-Drive sync issue when you have created the shortcut on File Explorer for a SharePoint site. ----- ### "one drive for storage" — 4.0/5 > **harry** | *07 October 2021* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: very easy to upload and view documents from any computer > > **Cons**: I have not had any major problems with this software ----- ### "OneDrive - The OneThing You'll Need" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *10 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: OneDrive has allowed me to easily sync my documents across multiple devices, just by signing in to my account. From work, from home, from anywhere, I can log-in and access everything I have saved. It's become such a convenient way to save documents and keep everything backed up, that I often forget it is there until I switch to another computer/device. Plenty of storage with our plan, quick, easy and automatic file uploads, and the ability search my drive has allowed me to streamline my workflow immensely. Well worth the cost, just like every other Microsoft Office program. > > **Cons**: OneDrive did not start out great for those who used it both on their home computers and work computers, but it has improved. The sync option can have a delay, despite saying it's up to date, I will occasionally have to pause and un-pause the software to ensure my recent files have been backed up. > > OneDrive has been a great help in keeping me going no matter what situation. When my computer was damaged, I was able to log on to a different computer, and despite being significantly out-of-date, the computer worked seamlessly with OneDrive, allowing me to access all the files I needed right then and there. I wasn't always a fan, but now I can't say enough good things. ----- ### "Review of Microsoft OneDrive for Our Construction Business" — 5.0/5 > **Rob** | *07 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The biggest win for us is how easy it is for everyone to access what they need. Whether someone is on their phone at a job site or at a computer in the office, they can pull up the latest plans or payroll spreadsheets without waiting on someone to email them over. It cuts down on miscommunication and saves time. We also really like the version control in OneDrive. When plans or payroll documents get updated, nobody has to guess which version is the right one. It keeps everything clean and avoids the mess of multiple copies floating around. Sharing files with links instead of attachments has been a big improvement too. Since we already use Microsoft apps like Excel and Outlook, the integration has been smooth. Being able to update payroll sheets in real time has sped up approvals and helped us stay more organized. > > **Cons**: The main downside we’ve seen is that sometimes the sync speed is slow. Updates don’t always show up right away for everyone, which can be frustrating when you’re trying to make quick changes. To be fair, some of that might be on us—our internet in the office and especially out in the field isn’t perfect, and that definitely plays a role. We’ve also seen some issues when people are working off hotspots or weaker connections. When OneDrive is slow, it takes away from the whole “real-time access” benefit we’re counting on. > > Even with the occasional sync delays, OneDrive has been a big improvement for us. It’s helped us stay organized, communicate better, and keep everyone on the same page. The convenience of being able to access everything from anywhere outweighs the hiccups. For construction companies dealing with a mix of office and job site workflows, OneDrive is a pretty good match—especially if you’re already using Microsoft products. As long as your internet situation isn’t a total disaster, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. ----- Page: 1 / 506\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/161304/onedrive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/161304/onedrive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
