Microsoft OneDrive for Business review

OneDrive for Business ranks first because it gives the most storage and admin control per dollar for companies that already run on Microsoft. Business Basic costs $7.00 per user per month paid yearly and includes 1 TB of cloud storage per user, SharePoint team sites for shared department files, Teams for chat and meetings, custom business email and web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Admins manage identity and access for up to 300 users from one console, and Business Premium adds advanced security for teams that need device and data protection. Co-editing Office files is where it feels most natural, since the files live next to the apps. The trade-offs are structure and scale: business plans stop at 300 users, Business Basic has no desktop Office apps, and new admins have to learn where OneDrive settings end and SharePoint settings begin. Teams outside the Microsoft ecosystem will get more from a standalone tool.
