I use Microsoft One Drive daily to create and save documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Microsoft One Drive works flawlessly accross multiple devices and the web for me. I love that it auto saves and syncs accross all devices instantaneously.
I wish it integrated with iCloud from Apple.

I’m not sure I would necessarily recommend OneDrive over iCloud.
I used to use OneDrive for my work documents, but it really isn’t much different from iCloud and didn’t seem to offer any unique benefits.
There isn’t anything per se wrong with this software. It’s just that it’s not really unique nor does it offer much that’s better than iCloud.

Overall the application is quite useful and I recommend any one who need ICloud facility on Windows,Try on Microsoft OneDrive.It will serve you very well as ICloud on Apple computers.
Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service which provided by Microsoft to any user who has Microsoft email account.As a ICloud for Mac,I was needed a cloud storage to my Windows PC.I was needed a cloud storage which can automatically upload my studding documents to a cloud storage and giving the accessibility to my documents by from any device which I use.Because I can not carry my desktop computer...
I like OneDrive so much because its service is speechless as a windows user.But my main cloud storage is Google Drive because it supply me much more services than OneDrive.The all services which provided by Google like Gmail, GoogleDocs are interconnected with my GoogleDrive there for it is much easier and useful to use as my main cloud storage.I do not use other services which provide by windows...

Extremely good alternative in case you don't like to use Drop box, box, iCloud or Google Drive
How easy it is to utilize and to set up inside a Windows Environment. You just sign it with your Microsoft Account and your files appear in the OneDrive folder that can be accessed from Explorer or the sidebar. You can also set up how and what files to sync in case your computer is running low on storage. So far I've not noticed that once it's syncing file it takes a lot of your network bandwidth and still, it manages to upload the files or sync them quite quickly and painlessly. You can also view your files in other systems, phones or even on your browser if you need access to them. The pricing is in line with what you'd expect but if you got an office subscription, you get the best deal there!
Wish it was more flexible with the file formats it recognized and that there were ways to edit files offline in the browser like google docs and so on.

Even better that icloud storage, easier to use and safe way to store as well!
Storage space is incredible, can store photos, files, music or any data one needs to store. Even though its online cloud store its very useful.
There is a limit on how much one can store on their onedrive cloud. This makes it harder for one to store multiple size files

Works great for supplemental storage.
It’s automatic storage. Has a high capacity for free storage. Easy to save & send files. Very easy to add storage space to your existing storage use.
No real Complaints. Not as easy as iCloud or Google cloud storage. But, still good.

De façon générale c'est un des meilleurs logiciels icloud de MicrosoftN'empêche qu'il reste quelques améliorations à effectuer
C'est un logiciel que j'affectionne particulièrement, sa m'aide a conservé mes documents de façon sécurisée avec un interface facile à utiliser
Il y a également des limites sur certains types de fichiers multimédias, comme dans le nombre total de chaque type que vous êtes autorisé à stocker

Some photos are synced with an error and cannot be retrieved. When you move renamed files they disappear with slow loading of files that contain a lot of space
Microsoft OneDrive is a good storage option for big businesses and businesses, it gives off other iCloud storage.
One of the advantages of huge storage with OneDrive, this software is very good and very safe Perfect for classifying and storing image files All this while saving space on your PC

Overall, a very convenient storage solution for us . We migrated from iCloud to go with OneDrive.
The amount of free storage available with the software. I moved away from iCloud after using it.
I had some privacy concerns with the software, but ultimately this was resolved by talking to a rep.

OneDrive makes it quite easy to transfer files from different users and computers. It was pretty simple to set up.

My overall experience with One Drive is that I love it. For Android users this is similar to Icloud.
I have been a huge supporter of google for many years, I have had several accounts along with software and other various apps I use with google. Google drive comes in handy so much because I can easily access all sorts of documents and images at my fingertips and I don't have to worry about backing my photos or data manually.
I have used Google drive for about 7 years now and I could not find any faults. I will say that at a certain extent in time, images that you have will eventually wipe themselves away if they are too old.

I've used all sorts of file sharing sites: Box, DropBox, Google Drive, Amazon Drive, iCloud, and also OneDrive. I've now stuck with OneDrive and iCloud depending on the use. I use OneDrive for work and it serves it's purpose well. It's easy to share files with your team as well as those outside your team. Files upload quickly and you can access them from essentially any device. OneDrive offers more storage than iCloud so that's a bonus as well.
I think they could make the interface a little nicer by adding some quick buttons. For instance, to share you have to click a dropdown menu where it seems like it would be nice to have a button for easier access.

Excellent tool that’s an important and integral part of my work flow.
This is an excellent alternative to iCloud. I love how easily it integrates on all my devices whether windows or iOS.
The visual UI could be a bit more polished but honestly it’s very useable as is. Aesthetic isn’t as important as function.

I like how easily OneDrive works with my Office Suite. I can easily share and work on different projects with my colleagues.

Makes finding documents and files very easy to find, since everything in one app. The security of the app is great as well.
OneDrive comes with a package from my school and it is amazing to have every document saved to one place.
I personally don’t have anything to say negatively about this software. Its very self explanatory and a smooth transition from iCloud.

Loathe paying for online storage especially when it's less expensive to buy an external hard drive to backup manually.
Online backup medium very similar to Dropbox or Google Drive. Better for Non-iPhone users. Basic account offers slightly more storage than Google/iCloud.
Not worth the money to upgrade the storage when some websites provide decent storage. Heavy users may like the storage esp. non-iPhone users. Must download app to use the service.

Overall, OneDrive has been a seamless backup solution for Microsoft products, and it has made access to photos and other shared files easy.
Integrated with other Microsoft Office products. Large basic storage tier, with upgrade options. By bundling, it is very cost-effective
Not as easy to set up on iOS, since iOS intends for iCloud to be the default. Otherwise, no significant cons to note.

OneDrive is an alternative to Apple's iCloud or Google Drive, and its functionality is pretty much the same. I have faith that my documents will be stored safely.
I like that most of my contacts use MS Office, making it quick and easy to store and share files on here. I like the fact that if you have less than 5GB to store it is free to use. Being able to pin documents you often refer back to is also handy. I also like how it is tied in to all the MS office apps and also Skype.
I would like to see the size of stored files so I know how much more storage I have available instead of having to guess.

I really like iCloud, but I honestly think it could be better, faster and more generous. Apple, please, review the iCloud keychain in order to make an Apple-like product. Not the current one, but something as clever and graphically attractive as 1Password.
iCloud is a good service and it allows you to keep all your main data in sync across all over your Apple devices. I have been using Apple cloud's service since MobileMe and I realize the benefits of a great integration it can offer.
I believe the current iCloud tables of price and space could be reviewed. For the same amount I currently play for 200GB at Apple I could have 1TB at Microsoft, within its Microsoft 365 (which includes OneDrive and many other productivity apps from the MS Office suite).

It is easy to use. As you might already know, iCloud comes with all iOS devices. Thus, no setup is needed. You can also access it from any Apple device and as well over a desktop. It's nice to have that integration.
The basic package only comes with 5 gigabytes which are really not enough. I also don't like that Apple locks iMessage and other apps (such as WhatsApp) to only sync with iMessage. Cloud storage is honestly so cheap nowadays (for instance, Amazon Photo is FREE with Amazon Prime or OneDrive being only $2.99 for 100 gigabytes), that it seems absurd for what iCloud is charging. I cannot justify paying what Apple is asking for just for me to sync my iMessage.

iCloud is Apple’s answer to Google Drive and other online storage options. I have used it for slightly over 2 years and there are some areas where it works and other areas where it doesn’t work. Here are my thoughts on it: 1. iCloud works better if you in the Apple ecosystem. If you live and breathe Apple, iCloud can seem magical and wonderful all in one. It works for syncing documents, contacts and...
As mentioned before, I do not think 5GB cloud storage makes any sense in 2019. I found that within a few weeks, I was already using 90%+ of my storage. If you have a Windows laptop, I wish you good luck making iCloud work well there. You may download an app that installs it on your computer but it seems it is only good for iCloud Photos but it is not as intuitive and functional as if you were on a Mac or iOS device. I am also not sure if iCloud can be business friendly, it seems more tailored to individuals and families. If you ask me, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive do more on the business front compared to Apple. So for personal use, yes sure, but for business, you are better off looking elsewhere.
