How well does OneDrive work for files that aren't MS Office files?
- rhacker 6y agoIt's still a disk integration like DropBox. That aspect works pretty well. So yeah, for me, it's like similar pricing as the others but, hey office on Mac or PC on 5 computers (family plan for me).
- fakedang 6y agoOne Drive works perfectly. I've used it to store game saves, photos, videos. Anything works. The only advantage MS Office compatible files have is that they can be edited online in an online session of word, excel or PowerPoint.
- mrlala 6y agoOneDrive probably works just fine for a personal setting with limited files. But as of about two years ago when we tried to migrate to it for business purposes.. it was an insane nightmare. It simply could not handle a filesystem with a few hundred thousand files AT ALL. I think this was still at the time where OneDrive Business was technically a different product than OneDrive personal, and some bastardization with SharePoint (which I know nothing about). But anyway- unless things have changed, OneDrive Business is not usable with a large amount of files. Dropbox has been rock solid for years with a LOT of files. Although, recently I have been experiencing issues where dropbox just keeps getting stuck and has to be restarted. I also loathe their windows explorer integration.
