Saves my data and my life, I mean work

OneDrive automatically backs up my photos, my programming, my Photoshop images, my Excel programmed sheets, my entire portfolio. We pay the $9.99 a month for Office family and we each get a terabyte in backup to our OneDrive and five accounts. This way I can bring my work with me anywhere and either keep working on it or show off my progress to friends or prospective volunteer opportunities. For the more normal person (not a nerd) after you take some photos make sure to open OneDrive to backup to the cloud, and then your home computer; then easily accessed from any device anywhere. There are a lot of data backup programs out there but most aren’t cheap, but for a terabyte for $7.99 or $9.99 (single account Office 365 and family account Office 365 respectively) which comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, plenty of other software for anyone. Even without a 365 account, it’s worth using even if to keep your photos safe at home and on the go. Also I’m not a bot or paid advertiser, I just feel like of the options, Microsoft isn’t as evil as most big tech companies, but they’ve been around since I started using pc computers in 1988, so they’re unlikely to go anywhere soon, so your data is safer than some others whom I discovered had corrupted my irreplaceable photos on the cloud when my computer died. At least Microsoft knows how to keep software backed up reliably. Just make sure to open OneDrive to save your photos.

This literally destroys the workflow

This app has always had its faults, but this latest redesign takes the cake for the worst redesign I’ve ever had to use. There’s no longer an option to just take a picture and upload to whatever folder or sharepoint library you’re in. You have to tap +, then tap scan, then swipe over 3 times to photo, then take a picture. On your second picture, the first one finishes uploading, and then blocks you with a permanent stupid blue notification that prevents you from actually tapping the button to finish. You have to X out, take your picture again, then since the notification isn’t there, you can click finish. This is fully interrupting my workflow and a change this drastic should never have been approved! Please give us setup options or preferences so we can eliminate all these stupid options! Including the insane and very easy-to-choose-option to share something you upload with whatever meeting you have on your schedule, regardless if you’re in that meeting or not! These notifications are pointless, seemingly permanent until you change the screen to something else, and are extremely annoying to use! Nobody uses onedrive to interact with meetings or other apps like you’re trying to push because there are other less stupid ways to do all that! We use it for access to storage or uploading files to sharepoint! That’s it! Stop trying to overcomplicate and annoy your users! Whoever approved this should be fired!

The Best For Online Storage and Sync Files

I can’t praise enough OneDrive. I had been using it since the SkyDrive days. Those days were storage heaven. I was able to rack up to 50 gigabytes of free storage. Well, OneDrive came to life and changed things. Some improved and some got canned like the amount of free storage. That is the only reason it I take one star from it. The good stuff it’s what in my opinion, makes OneDrive the number one app for online storage. Easy to sync files across Windows PC and IOS mobile devices. The integration of OneDrive with Windows Personal files can be somehow problematic since by default makes OneDrive upload everything you put on those folders. If you don’t want every file on those folders getting uploaded and take precious space just change the settings on Windows to stop OneDrive to upload the content on those folders. I found less complicated to just create a new folder on the system Desktop and name it “My OneDrive” then create sub-folders for E-books, Pictures, spreadsheets and so on... then drop there everything I want to sync across mobile devices. That way I have more control over what goes into One Drive instead of letting Windows do it for me. Also makes me be more organized with the content I own.

Don’t pay for anything here

I have been paying for the different apps after getting this 365 Personal that was supposed to include them all, plus 1 TB of OneDrive. I did that because when I downloaded the OneDrive and Word apps my iPhone prompt me to pay for separate subscriptions. So I thought it was because they were meant to. After months, or probably more than a year I’ve been paying for them and finally realized I was not supposed to do so. The descriptions don’t explain it and the iPhone prompt you to pay. I got just one month worth of refund, but as I try to get my personal subscription back I’ve been having all kinds of issues.I ended up paying for a Basic subscription so I don’t lose all the data from OneDrive while this issue is resolved. So now, I paid for this Office Personal $6.99 and is not working and nowone can help me. I talked to Microsoft and they said they can’t help with subscriptions bought at Apple. In Apple they told to talk to Microsoft. It is infuriating!! I’ve lost so much time trying to solve this. I was supposed to get help from a Support Department this morning and they sent me an email saying they couldn’t reach me. I didn’t even get a text!!! And they want me to reschedule the call again!!! Don’t buy ANITHING from Microsoft in the Apple App Store if you want support from someone in case of an issue.
