Microsoft OneNote vs Google Drive Comparison

OneNote is great for note-taking and organizing files! Really multifunctional. You can add notebooks, folders, and pages so that information is categorized, which is great for a type-A personality/organizer like myself. It's easy to insert images, PDFs, or other files into OneNote.

iCloud seems to fill up fast and at a certain point OneNote actually cut me off from using it. It would not let me edit anything or add new pages. I don't think you can share data and edit simultaneously, which is why I often prefer Google drive. Overall, I had some issues with the software which I didn't quite know where they came from and I ended up not using One Note for that reason... never figured out exactly what went wrong

Free to use, and doesn't lock Features behind a paywall. Works well in organizing notes, and projects without unnecessary restrictions. Good for what it looks to provide, and makes keeping notes a breeze. Contains 5 GB of free storage, which I rarely fill half of.

Heard that it only stores locally for windows, but that doesn't affect me or my work, so I can't comment much on that.

information and meetings notes sharing and record

version change with out notice, integration to one drive

I use this with my team as a collaborative repository on our projects - we have useful queries, case studies, solution impact and analysis broken by down by topic which helps daily

I guess that sometimes my access goes from full access to read only out of nowhere. Which is cumbersome.

I like how easy it's to take tasks and autosave the OneNote with your one drive account. With one drive account I can manage the documents from anywhere

I want to see a more page like alignment on the notes I take and not be mis aligned every time I type

Easy to use, lots of ways to use it, integrates with Outlook, mobile app, lots of options, features. Easy to incorporate into your daily routines. Can share notes an notebooks with coworkers, friends or family.

Some of the web app features are not as good as the full hard-drive version. A subscription to Office365 is needed for the hard-drive version, but the web app is good also.

Integration with coworkers to share notes allows attachments to files on one drive which is amazing.

I dislike the webversion. It lacks a lot of features that the application has like attaching files. It is not stable as well

onenote has multiuser integrate feature to use the app at the same time with multiple people. It's good for school project.

This has almost identical feature to google words and mostly for the students, teacher or professors give the project by google.

OneNote is easy to use. It's free-form layout lets us organize and find varied data of varied types, including text, photos, and links.

Getting One Note set up or moving it from one computer to the next is not as easy as it could be. The program prefers storing the files in One Drive. It is a bit of a challenge to get it set up to store the files on the computer's hard drive.

Sharing feature, It helped in sharing daily tasks details with the superior and also provide option to add table to create everyday plan

Low Cloud Storage Solution compare to Google 15gb.

The ease of sharing my notes with someone, commenting on notes by both primary author and collaborators, auto sync on the one drive.

For some reason, one note seems to perform better on Mac systems but not as much on windows. It crashes a lot on windows.

The software allows for me to keep all of my notes and tasks in one place, and can be shared with and collaborated on by others. This means I dont miss any tasks and can keep everything organised. Helps with agile working as this can be used across devices also.

Sometimes they can be hard to find shared files on one drive but once you get the hang of it this is much easier to do.

Microsft OneNote is easy to use. This is user-friendly software. It allows me to write my notes on one device and yet, I get to open it on another device. Its cloud syncing is superb. It's also easy to sync events with the calendar. I also like how it allows voice recording in the middle of note-taking. I also get to draw doodles or diagrams in my notes. I also like how it allows me to link different pages and create templates, which can all be saved.

I think one feature that can be improved in this software is the addition of integration with Google Calendar or Google Drive. So far, Microsoft Note doesn't allow this integration yet but perhaps it can be done in the future. It would be great if this integration would be made possible. Also, the ability to draw on notes is not supported in iPhones. Good thing, I'm using Android. But it would be great if the drawing feature would also be made available in iPhones. The drawing tools are also limited. I think the addition of more drawing tools would be a great improvement to this software.

Easy to share notes, easy to upload to drive. I think it's the easiest to use on the desktop, but then sharing is easy.

A little tricky to get the hang of initially. Layout is similar to a word document, so it didn't take too much time to figure out.

It promises to help organize notes and notebooks.

I was never able to really figure out exactly how I could use it.

Easy to use for folks familiar with Microsoft products.

Dated in some fashions. I would recommend comparing with google products.

ease of use, cross-platform support, web clipping tool, intuitive layout. it's the free and better evernote

can't save notes to local drive (instead of just the cloud) on mac, it could do better with more mobile widget options, and there's no custom tags on mac.

As a working student using a Microsoft One note its a very helpful to make a task to monitor my all important to do list

Having a lagging the app but it easy to fix the bug just restart the device or your the app

The best part of OneNote is the ability to create multiple notebooks and sections within those books.

OneNote doesn't configure well into Google Suite, but is great for Offige365 users.

I like how this is an integrated product with the Microsoft bundle.

A feature that is missing is the ability to sync with Google products.

This application has it all. From saving notes, links, files. We can add multiple notebooks and can sync it across many devices as the data is stored on one drive.

I cannot change the view. The task bar is now on the left pane but I liked it when it was on bottom.

- It's free - Free plan comes with 5GB of storage, which is more than enough for image notes - Much more organization capabilities than Google Keep - Drawing function pretty useful, especially if paired with a Surface tablet

- Set up is just not as friendly or easy as Google Keep - Microsoft's platform is just so bloated in comparison to Google - Integration on my phone is not as seamless as it could be (Microsoft apps have some issues on Android)

Its ease of attaching pictures audios in the note, it has a great segregation of the notes and very ease of access. We can even attach the notes on the desktop. The integration with one-drive makes it very easy to access the files form different platforms. We can assign people who can edit who can watch and easy to share and all happens in real time.

Should be improved as a phone app in particular the PC application is awesome. a bit lagging behind the apple notes in the iphone.

this note-taking app is great if you like taking notes on the computer. It can keep you very organized and it is easy to find any notes taken with the search feature

Some integrations OneNote can be finicky about (ie: google calendar). The sharing feature needs improvement as well.

1. Ease of use 2. Its integration with external and internal SharePoint for document management and access 3. Keeping track of task and meeting notes with team 4.Auto sync and backup of local drive

None that I am aware of , it performs as per expectation

Google Drive is by far superior from a pricing standpoint. You get 15gb free for just being a Google member, which is also free.

I would say it's a little less business friendly as it's not as file explorer oriented. Using Microsoft OneNote spoils you in that regard.

Very accessible from any computer with internet access. Able to share with colleagues easily. Highly recommended.

Files are hard to transfer to other platforms like onenote. Needs more compatibility across other common platforms.

Uploading files and sharing documents for collaboration during class is very simple.

Google Drive would be even better if there were a "notebook section" function like in OneNote.

Google Drive offers free storage (up to a certain limit) for all users with Google Accounts. Even when adding additional storage, the price is very reasonable.

Certain features that are included in the Microsoft versions are missing (i.e. Microsoft Office Online integration).

I like that it allows us to quickly upload files we worked on and easily share it with our staff or anyone with an email address!

I have no complaints about Google Drive, Google Docs or anything. It's an integral part of our office.

I love that it has all the same features as microsoft office, but they are FREE!

Adding google drive to windows can sometimes be challenging.

The software is easy for use, managment documents and save docs for see in other devices with your creddentials.

When import or export funcionalities to use microsoft word or microsoft excel and that funcionalities dont work.

- File-syncing - Very generous amount of free storage - Excelent to use in collaborations - Inexpensive for the normal consumer

- Productivity software not as capable as Microsoft Office - Some imports get deformed due to campatibility between Microsoft and Google tools

Very good file integration and storage, link sharing and file organization. Simple, clear and easy interface.

I already consider it quite good, but I think it could improve by implementing more functions like capturing screenshots directly to the cloud (like OneNote for Windows) and organizing more specifically types or classifications of files.

Amazing real time cloud consistency. Amazing availability on all devices. Also great sharing features. Lots of data space.

Not a lot of formatting or editing/customization options. Very basic compared to Microsoft office. Also trust issues with Microsoft

Google Drive is the easiest way to access your work no matter what device you are working from. It is a great way to collaborate with teammates working remotely.

Less functionality than traditional Microsoft products.

The ability to have all of my files centrally located.

The compatibility with microsoft office files.

Easy to use, and store documents, videos, etc.

Does not format to Microsoft Office Suite

I love having a suite of robust cloud-based software solutions. I love that my work is automatically saved; I never have to worry about a computer hiccup or electrical blip compromising hours of work. Drive makes it easy to collaborate with others and to pick up right where I stopped from anywhere - work, home, or on the go. Google Docs is easy to use, intuitive, and easy to share. Same with Google Sheets. Google's Slide presentations are easy to format, easy to set the timing and best of all can be shared via link. No more broken presentations from photos not being stored in the right folder when transferring between computers.

Although the Google Drive suite is a fantastic substitute for Microsoft Office, there are a few advanced features that Microsoft offers that are not available in Google Drive. I notice this particularly in Google Sheets vs Microsoft Excel.

ease of use desired features integration other apps

the product does work ell microsoft products

It helps me keep EVERYTHING in one easy and organized place! The apps and desktop version are clean, crisp and available for no cost anywhere with a wifi

Lacks some advanced features Microsoft Office provides

This software is easy to use and saves all my documents. I've never lost a file, and all the features are easy to access from any device. I love the way I can log into Drive on my phone and pick up where I left off.

The only issue I have with this software is that it lags sometimes, and documents take a while to load.
