![]() Microsoft is probably one of the biggest companies in the world. That is something that I think Microsoft should strive for with OneDrive. What is more important is having features that are really necessary and already exist in other competing products. It is not so interesting to just have more new features. There are many different options and combinations in Box that OneDrive just does not have. The point is that there is more to do than just view and edit. Or a person can view, edit, and download. Just having viewing and editing permission is pretty basic, but even in Box, a person can view and edit, but not download. But they could do even more with permissions. I think that these are some pretty basic and fundamental things that Microsoft just does not have. You want people to be able to edit without deleting probably most of the time. I think other companies, like Box and Dropbox, have that feature and they allow you to make it so you can edit but you do not have the ability to delete. But there is no option to remove the delete privileges from an editor. If you are a viewer, you can not delete files. If you are an editor, you can delete files. There is no way to set non-delete permissions. If you are a team leader and you do not know if someone is deleting your stuff, you might eventually lose something by accident. That is really a potentially huge issue with the solution. But you do not even know that you have to look at your recycle bin because you never got a notification. ![]() It is residing in your recycle bin, and you can see that it is there. So, if you have 10 files and then you notice that one is missing, you do not even know who deleted it or when it got deleted. That is fine, but then the owner never gets a notification. In other words, it goes to the owner's recycle bin. So for example, if you are the owner of a folder and I have access to that folder and there is a file there and I delete it, it actually goes to your recycle bin. You do not get a notification if you delete something online. ![]() That is the biggest weakness of the solution, I would say. It works fine if it is a smaller number of folders and files, but whenever there is a large number of files, that has been an issue for sure. That constant syncing can cause performance issues. When people start updating stuff in that same folder, it can slow down your computer because it updates you locally as well every time there is a change. When you sync it to a computer, it takes some time to load. For example, say you have a folder that has 200 files. When there are a lot of files, that is when the issue arises. It might not be a huge folder in terms of space, but when there are a large number of files. Syncing has been an issue sometimes when there are huge folders. Basically, it is like you have the online version directly on your desktop. When you click on sync on the online version, what happens is that it creates a drive on your desktop. Syncing is one area that can be improved. ![]()
