Various file types can be uploaded with no issues to view or download. There is a wide variety of features available. Office 365 integration for efficiency. Two step authentication for log in.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I have used Onedrive for many years. I use the online file drives for archiving of documents and data. This allows me to access the files via the internet and download them as I need. I have found this to be very efficient in managing a large team. To share files in a central location for ease. I have not experienced any issues with uploading and downloading from OneDrive. It is easy to use and well laid out. I have trained other users with ease in how to use the system. I have used Onedrive to create an online, live Quality Management System.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I have not experienced any issues with the system so far itself, but I have found the customer service to be deficient and difficult to deal with. It is very hard to speak to a human if you are experiencing issues. It can take quite a long time to synchronise files.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

N/A - it is a very straight forward system.
