    OneDrive operates with all the features of a good file sharing software

    Date: Mar 22 2021
    Summary

    Being able to store in the cloud the screenshots we take in our research directly, it is concluded that Microsoft OneDrive is a hosting and backup software of high caliber, recommended for those who do not want to pay a lot of money and get acceptable results of saving speed and security.

    Positive

    From the version without payment costs OneDrive shows a much higher storage capacity than that offered by similar file sharing services. Comparing it with one of these (Dropbox, specifically) the first thing you notice is that the platform created by Microsoft has more than three times the memory to store data.

    Negative

    When it comes to advanced plans, Microsoft OneDrive shows one of the highest capacities in relation to how economical its price is. It is because of this that there are no negative points to state about Microsoft OneDrive, which is beneficial in any way. We highly recommend it to fulfill backups creation.

    Negative

    OneDrive works with the mobile app, however, updates made online are often slow to update in the app. I want to see an instant link.
