OneDrive

It's just the worst cloud service. Sync issues. Sharing issues. So much time wasted dealing with this underwhelming software/service. Not worth the hassle even if it's included with 365.

MacUpdate has one version that cannot be downloaded. I downloaded directly from Microsoft, and it gave me the same old version I already had. Try again in a week or so.

Almost abandoned 1Drive because I can't run this app to access the storage on 10.13. Luckily Cyberduck and other file transfer apps allow me access to my storage.

Positively the biggest mistake I have ever made as far as cloud computing is concerned. I registered for Microsoft 365 and get ample cloud capacity to free my local hard drive of the things I will never delete but never look at again. I don't know how well this works on oyther platforms but trust me , if you use a Mac, stay well clear of Onedrive which is clearly an afterthought in the souls offices of Microsoft. It takes a full 15 minutes to sign in, and WILL crash the Mac OS if you store anything more than 2gb on the onedrive service. I am actively looking for an alternative source where I can safely store archive data. Onedrive (or iCloud for that matter) is not the solution . Can I give zero stars?

Breathtakingly poor - the hours wasted trying to synchronise large repos between machines. Please never use this awful awful software. Duplicate file issues, inability to see what is going except the spinning cursor of death. Even if it costs extra to use another file storage system, it is worth it. Life's too short to deal with this rubbish.

Purchased One Drive 1TB and thank God a one month free trial through the App Store. Uploaded Mac files but typical Windows BS the file names have to match exactly the dinosaur Windows protocol for file names - no symbols allowed in the file names. Have almost 6000 files and approximately 1000 files did not match the dinosaur Windows protocol for file names; kept asking me to repair the file names that did not match their protocol; gave up after two hours and removed OneDrive from my Mac. Lesson learned.

I have to admit that OneDrive in current version stinks. Every time I restart my Mac OneDrive either: - sync and download all my files (135 Gb) even though its setup to leave all files in the cloud - reset the account so I have to reconnect to all my Team and Sharepoint Sites What a f*cked up app.

I purchased an O365 subscription thru the app store expecting to get OneDrive with1Tb of storage and enhanced security features but only got the the basic 5GB version (v19.070.2410). How can this be rectified?

As part of my Office 365 subscription, I get 1TB of online storage. For the personal license, it allows 5 PC installs and up to 5 users sharing the Office 365 license - each with their own 1TB of OneDrive storage. The subscription price of $100 a year for the personal Office 365 subscription is worth the OneDrive storage all by itself - it's like getting MS Office for free. I actually have OneDrive for business since my O365 subscription is tied to my domain name that I have with GoDaddy, but the benefits of OneDrive are absolutely stellar. I use it on my Mac and Windows machines and automatically sync and back up my data to OneDrive and also access it on my mobile devices. The mobile app also allows for taking pictures of documents and converting them to PDF documents, automatically cropping and adjusting the photo to make it like the original document. I can't say enough about OneDrive.l

Meh. Won't launch if superfluous .lproj files have been removed (the lproj bundles are all signed). In 2019.

I really don't understand how these days Microsoft can make such a poor performing app. Consumes too much CPU while it's working.

Consumes way too much CPU time. A lot better options out there.

Totally unnecessary and it is Microsoft. Enough said!

I HATE OneDrive. It is user hostile. The way it displays files is archaic. Search is archaic and it looses files NO THANKS Microsoft!!!

good cloud based app

Sill no place holders, now that Google has Drive File Stream I'm turning to Google. How hard can it be for MS to make OneDrive modern?

The most recent '17.3.6798' update seems to have fixed syncing. We used the stand-alone installer instead of the AppStore version but as I understand it they are the same.

One one minor bug, the sync icons don't always update until you exit and re-enter a folder.

The only missing feature is contextual menu sharing; needs to be done via the website.

Other than that, I'm happy. We've kissed DropBox goodbye.

The next update should bring it up to Dropbox standards, if they fix the one bug and add the contextual menu feature.

Can not place the onedrive folder to my external drive....

Just awful! If you compare OneDrive to 21st century solutions such as Dropbox or Box, you will be shocked at how disappointed you will feel. Unlike the app name implies, a shared drive does not act as a single drive, but simply allows users to download files to their own computers. In that way, it's a lot like the old service Yousendit. Also, uploading files to OneDrive takes a LONG time, during which time your whole computer will slow to a crawl. In most cases, it would be far faster to drive to Staples, buy a USB key, copy your file onto that, and then drive to the person with whom you want to share your file. Microsoft's offering in the shared drive space is strictly for Windows users, where I assume it's OS integration makes the solution work more smoothly. However, given that Dropbox and Box already exist, there is absolutely no reason on earth to mess with a product as utterly inferior as OneDrive.

I'm done with OneDrive. I was using Arq with it for backups and OneDrive is slow for uploads and incredibly slow with syncing. Couldn't delete files with this app. Had to go into the web page and and select a low number of folders to delete each time because it wouldn't work with large numbers (dozens) of folders selected. Ended up using Amazon Cloud Drive for $60 a year and ODrive with a free account. Blazing fast, responsive, and unlimited.
