Microsoft OneDrive vs iCloud Comparison

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.

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...

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.

Simple, easy cloud storage for almost anything

Lacking integration with core Apple components like iCloud Drive.

Availability on multiple platforms, fairly seamless transfer

Does not do as much as iCloud on the Mac

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

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.

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.

OneDrive is a great alternative to Google Drive and ICloud, It works very well with Windows IOS.

OneDrive doesn't offer as much free storage as many of the other clouds.

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.

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.

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

It doesn't have the feel and looks​ on windows like Icloud drive does on a Mac.

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.

OneDrive is a great solution for cloud based storage. l prefer OneDrive over Icloud, since I have a lot of microsoft products.

The application can be improved quite a bit, i prefer the web-based platform.

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.

Onedrive, kind of like icloud, stores information between devices and helps incase you lose your phone or computer you can still retrieve your data

i don't have any cons, i do wish i could utilize it more but i have an iphone.

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.
