One Drive is ok but could be much better
12/15/2022

Since One Drive is included in MS Office, one should/have to use it if one has MS Office. The app is stable, but could be much better. So please MS look at these simple ideas to improve the app1. The Folder path/hierarchy is shown in the top bar as to give an idea where one is currently and not just ‚Files’ as is now the case.2. The same goes for files. Once a file is open the top line shows the path and the file name. If one has 20 files in one folder one knows emidiatly what file one was in before closing the file to go to the next file and possibly opening the same file again because one does not recollect the previous file name.3. Please ad the function that one can work on a office document and then safe it to an existing shared folder. For example one team member creat‘s a doc and places it into a shared folder. I then edit this doc and can not directly safe it back into the shared folder. It would be great if all folders shared or not are treated like folders that people who have the permission can use the folder like it would be their own folder. 4. The same as above goes for a new doc one person creates and then what’s to place it into a shared folder. Even so I have found a work around this could be solved much easier through the ‚Move‘ function. Workaround: you have to create on the web interface of one drive a shortcut link of any shared folder to your home folder. Then in the one drive app you can drag any file into the shared folder, depending on your folder complexity this can take a little time, but it works PLEASE look at these simple improvements.

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.

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!

Thanks for sharing this feedback. We’re really sorry for the frustration you experienced, especially when you just need to take and upload a quick photo. We understand how disruptive that can be.Since the version you were using in March, we’ve made several improvements, including streamlining the photo-capture steps and rolling out a more reliable file-picker for saving scans and images. These updates were driven directly by feedback like yours.If you’re open to it, could you let us know whether the experience feels smoother now? And if anything is still slowing you down, we’d appreciate the chance to keep improving it.Thanks again for raising this.

Good but needs to be MUCH better

It does what it needs to in terms of cloud storage on the iPad. It’s best if you have an office 365 subscription so that you get the 1TB of storage, which is great for me because it allows me to store all my files easily. It could be A LOT BETTER though. First, it does have files app integration which for some reason only allows you to copy files from the iPad to OneDrive, not to simply move them. Second, they say it has multi window support for iPadOS 13 but not really. Each time you try to add another window, you get an error message saying that you can only open a file in another window, not another file browser. Also you are very limited in terms of sort and view options, you can only view files in a list or as icons. When viewing photos and videos with the icon view, you can’t see the file name and can only do so by clicking the info button for each individual file. It would be much better if you had other view options like some sort of cover flow type view or something else. Also, the scan option is nice but it would be really nice if it had an option to scan book/textbook pages.
