This app is second to none. I use my onedrive for everything from college (now uni) to home files. I have something like 4 years and about 300gb of photos and videos backed up which I can access so easily across any of my devices, no matter the platform. One of the best things about Onedrive is how universally accessible it is, but also how well it works and the fabulous functionality it provides. With the recent update to the application interface, it is really easy and pleasant to use. The development team are truly incredible and they really seem to take on the feedback of their users. The app is regularly updated with USEFUL updates not just the usual “bug fixes” or “performance improvements” like every single other app seems to do. I have tried using a range of other services such as google drive, ICloud Drive and Dropbox, but onedrive is simply the best in terms of functionality, compatibility and features. For £6.99 per month I get 1tb of storage with full access to the latest Microsoft office applications, which is really handy. One final thing to mention is that onedrive is a good idea for photos if you have a windows computer, as photos you upload to onedrive will sync to the photos app in windows, meaning you can see them all seamlessly on your computer.Big thanks to the team who make Onedrive so truly brilliant!

This used to be a really convenient tool with an easy-to-navigate interface but the last set of updates has destroyed the app. My biggest gripe is that it constantly crashes while syncing photos/videos (and no it is NOT my phone that is the problem) so it is no longer convenient to do this as I have to keep reopening it. It does save progress when syncing but having to keep reopening the app is beyond frustrating and means I cannot leave it to get on with the task anymore. I will have to go back to copying videos onto the computer via USB which means the file names won’t have the date in them. Not to mention you have totally butchered the interface, I just don’t know what is what anymore and has tarnished the experience making it confusing and annoying to use. Nobody asked for a “new look” so stop changing things for the sake of change! There used to be a workaround where reinstalling the app reverted it back to the original format temporarily, allowing me to sync some of my files without it crashing. The latest update seems to have patched this out however, rendering the app officially broken as far as I’m concerned hence I write this review. There is already a whole string of negative reviews on here that back this one up, dating back to when the redesign first rolled out, and there are more still coming up each day. Hopefully there will be enough of them in the coming weeks to convince you to do something about this (if you actually listen to them, that is). Please fix this major issue that makes the app borderline unusable for some of us, and revert back to the original design, and you might get more stars.

I really love Onedrive in many ways and I am a paying subscriber. I use it mostly to store all of my photos going back over years and I love so many things about the app. However, there is one issue which is huge for me and I am borderline on switching to another big cloud provider because of it. I checked - they have this feature. I don't want to switch, it's so much work, but this really bugs me. The issue is, for whatever reason some of my older photos (5+ years old) uploaded without the exif data for date created. I don't know why because the correct date shows on the (1yr old WD) hard drive they were uploaded from, via windows 10. I thought ok, they're old photos. The big problem is I can't edit the date the photo was taken on Onedrive. So, very old photos show up in my chronological photo timeline as having been taken this year, because Onedrive assigns their upload date to them. This disorder pains me and makes looking through my photo collection not enjoyable. Please, please add this feature ASAP. I will have to move cloud providers if I can't fix this.

For all I love the simplicity of One Drive. I pay a subscription monthly yet as in previous comments. The app forgets where it is navigating to or asks to open in browser then loops back again to ask to open in browser. The folder files are always a different look to how they looked on the app And in browser, or if on a pc or iOS device. So then caused a little confusion in where I had saved it too. Also managed to not save my work when my phone ran out of battery. I tried finding the lost file in last place I used it and the folder I had opened it from, looked through the temp folders etc. By then I had no choice but to sit and redo all the work I had previously completed. Disappointed by some way, I pay a monthly subscription but I think one drive has become too complicated trying to do all things for all apps. Also I have a personal one drive that I didn’t mean to share with a group Of colleagues which contained all my personal files. So it is far from bomb proof. Best wishes and hope you can make one drive a stronger stand alone app.
