In terms of cost and usability, I think OneDrive is the best product out there. I've tried so many cloud providers like Amazon, Google, Dropbox, Box etc etc and I think that OneDrive is the most trustworthy platform and great if you're concerned of your data suddenly being deleted because some automated scan suspects something "illegal" on your account (for example, Google has a habit of suspecting pirated content exists and disabling your entire account over it)
With all that said, it's not perfect. The Android app tends to ignore your requests to ONLY upload photos (it uploads screenshots and various other junk you don't want in your Camera Roll) and the UserVoice feature suggestions are basically ignored. There's no file tree directory view and you can't unzip within the browser. These aren't features that absolutely destroy your use of the service - but they are basic essentials!
When compared to alternatives such as Google Drive and Dropbox, OneDrive is terrible. Issues I have include files not syncing, opening files as read-only after clicking to open an editable copy, and finding newer versions of a synced file on the server.
The best thing about OneDrive other than lots of people using it already is that it can sync SharePoint sites, making it good for businesses in this one regard.
Confirmed via a WA Attorney General request (on public record) that Microsoft does not utilize your stored data to train AI systems. I also have heard from colleagues that they also tend to respect privacy more than other solutions (so long as your uploaded files are legal under US law and/or are not actively being shared publicly online). They are also better priced compared to their competitors with similar feature sets.
The pricing is good
Syncs Desktop and Documents folders on Windows without user's consent making some apps which store temporary data in Documents folder non-functional. Then alarms that remaining free storage space is dwindling, thus user needs to buy subscription.
The app interface from which sync settings could be tweaked disappeared from the system completely.
Abhorrent service. 1/10, won't recommend.
Use it all the time to keep track of my files for work and personal. No matter the device, I can almost instantly share my files. Amazing storage at a cheap price!
Just random. Folders and files synced to OneDrive randomly appear/disappear in the interfaces: you can have a file in the web app, that does not appear neither on your mobile nor on your OneDrive folder on your PC. And no way to refresh, resync, re-anything. It is absolutely unusable.
