Microsoft OneDrive for Android
I am a big fan of Microsoft and regular user of its product and services and I must say Microsoft never let me disappointed..It is better than its competitors (Google, Apple). Even Windows Phones were a great invention but unfortunately people didn't appreciate the work done by Microsoft. The only reason was the less number of apps. I wish microsoft best of luck to keep innovating and surprising us. Hope this company will soon become the greatest in in future in terms of innovation and technology.
Fixed the blue screen bug! Awesome! That was the only thing that prevented me from using it before, good job Microsoft, you've made me proud
It takes to long to move files. They are not even uploading anymore it. I have been trying to upload same files for 8 hours now. Also it completely drains the battery and I'm not even close to half way dome getting everything uploaded. I want to basically back up all my files and keep them stored online as well as on my sd card cause i need space on my device but this just isn't easy to do on phones yet like it used to be so much easier with desktop and laptop computers.
Stop creating albums for me. It's annoying and you can't turn it off!
It keeps telling me connect the network or wifi but I am connected!!! Lousy
Easy to use after a while. I keep most of my cloud backup in Google Drive, so this is my secondary backup. It does some things that Google Drive does not, however. That's the best reason to use it. This took some getting used to, but when combined with the office lens software, a great combination. One of my most useful tools.
Good cloud file service. Updated to 4.9 (hold and drag to select multiple items in the Photos and tiles view) from 4.8 (Now you can hold and drag to select multiple items in the Photos and tiles view!) from 4.7.1. Google Play Store What's New only gives topline/major not minor version information: "Version 4.7: ... We made it easier than ever to sort and parse through your stuff in the Files view.... new paintbrushes and pencils! ... new visuals to help make you more productive. Shake to send feedback… " On HTC ONE [m7] Vodafone 4g, Android 5.0.2, Sense 6.0, SmartLauncher 3.24.11F(beta)
It's gotten easier to navigate, but why do I have to wait for wifi to upload something from my phone? What a stupid and frustrating limitation. Offline files simply don't work. And even downloading files isn't reliable. The app is essentially broken.
The last couple of months this app has been very unstable. Crashes regularly when I do a search or try to drill down a few levels into the directory. I've uninstalled, reinstalled and even reset the whole tablet. Still unstable. I don't use OneDrive for anything I need absolute reliability for. Dropbox is far superior.
Can't copy once in onedrive within. Cutting of some exif info... Fck stupid. Missing ISO info in exif. Leaves more than gig in thumbnails or orphans on cell. Should be able to clean itself... Resets All custom setup to default after update with hundreds of folders in it, drives me nuts.... Stupid. Settings should be incorporated into my account on skydrive not on individual gadget. Reads .raw files but no .nef
I wanted to buy the 7$ subscription with 1TB cloud storage, but it didn't accept my purchase and always said "Something went wrong, please contact customer support" no answer from them. Now I cancelled the subscription because I wasn't even able to use the cloud storage on my desktop, it just says "You have 5GB of online storage".
I'd give it 5 stars if 1) it stopped automatically creating albums and 2) if it didn't take away my 1tb of space, which I was paying $1.99 for. Now all of a sudden its only 115gb. Not much of a point to pay anymore.
Finally, a super simple easy way to share documents, recordings, mp3 files, photos, you name it! And much much more than just sharing you can do. Super easy to navigate! One of the most headache free apps I've ever used. Love it!
Nice app, but not as much advanced as Google Drive. I'd more than pleased if you added a possibility to play animated images (gifs) and finger print unlock. The only reason I have chosen OneDrive over Google Drive is free 100GB of storage space, which was granted to my as an owner of Samsung.
I used to have big storage from collecting promoted free offers now that storage has been dramatically reduced. I dislike that you are creating albums for me? Surely that's taking up space too!...the space you limited
The over layout and design is ok, could look and work better. Keeps given a new notification when a new folder is found, but clicking on the notification does nothing. (notification remains).**edit the latest update fixed this problem ** It's good that it provides a large amount of free storage. Generally the app is ok, though the UI and layout/features could be better..used as a secondary back up,
Google Drive is much better. The scanner function is hopeless in comparison. Update Jan 2017 - I can't log into my corporate account after the latest update. Says that I have no network connection, when I clearly do! I wish the company I work for was on Google Apps!
Priced Out. Was using this after getting a new Win10 desktop- worked great. But my 115GB storage just expired, leaving me 5GB. They want $84 for 1TB (way more than I need) plus useless extras, so switched to Google Drive: $20 for 100GB, perfect size/price. Crappy pricing options from MS: so long Bill.
Update has given me a host of problems; saves word files in "Read Only" and I have to continually save a new copy. The word program will stop and reboot for no reason. Sometimes it will restart and sometimes it won't. Nice... And I have Office 365.
Every time the screen times out and switches off it cuts the upload of photos and says it doesn't have a WiFi connection. The only way to get it to work is to watch it upload and not let the screen time out, which takes forever!
It works, but is so slow and unintuitive. Often folders are created by onedrive, and when I try to delete them i get the message that i do not have the permission or that the item does not exists... but it keeps on showing up. But the worst is the speed, even with 100Mbs connection everything takes time.
Slowest upload speed you'll ever get. It's so slow, just unbelievable. Lags way behind Google Drive. Shame on you Microsoft!
You cant cancel an upload in anyway, it duplicates the whole upload twice if you click the upload too quickly and cannot be cancelled in anyway possible. Something so simple should be a feature. Common sense please
I really like this cloud. Have used others and found this one to be the best for me. Very easy to use and edit files. Have had issues with other non Microsoft clouds but have had none so for with this (touch wood). Recommended.
Why all of a sudden can i not upload files via the onedrive app into a folder that has been shared with me. I have no problems doing it when logged into onedrive on my phone internet or pc.
Can no longer access, add or change notes on any slide through one drive. I now only use power point app but adding notes causes it to crash multiple, multiple times every day!!! Doubt if MS will ever fix this
I already have an account which is synced to my phone. For some reason this app won't take me to sign in but only to sign up. If I try simply signing in anyway it tells me someone already has the account. Very annoyed. I can't get my files on my phone. Works on my s*doing tablet. Which is very useful now I no longer have a tablet.
I have both a private one drive for my home computer and a work one drive. I need it to default to my work one drive. If I try to upload something from my phone it always opens the home account, then when I switch to the other account and hit the check mark, nothing happens. If I open one drive, set it to my work account, then browse to the file and select it, nothing happens, AGAIN! It should not be this difficult. I have to either use email to email it to me (bad for bigger files) or upload it to my personal one drive and then sync both to my work computer, and transfer it using file explorer on my computer. Twice the work.
Its not as good as Drive but it does work. That was shity business the way MS just took away storage space I had been using for years
Having a PC, laptop, tablet & cell, I love having all my docs & files in one place accessible by all. Although - The picture upload from my Android phone is lacking in features
Constantly automatically uploading photos pushing me over the 5g then not letting me delete old photos to add new ones. Not impressed one drive, what happened?
Completely & utterly fails on Acer Iconia Tab A500! Fix this ASAP. Using Android OS 4.0.3. Also have newer devices, with Android OS 4.4.4 & 5.1.1, no problems there. But I need a Cloud that works on all!
I paid for a year of windows service including the One Drive app. I was so excited to use it but it has been a challenge based on the 2 mb file size limit. I've gone to the forums, I've tried all of the fixes but it still refuses to load any of my photos greater than 2 mb in size. I have wasted more time trying to fix thus app than what it is worth. I should have paid for Dropbox instead. When my year is up, I won't renew If you want complete frustration for more than a $100 service, get on board with One drive. Great idea, miserable execution of the idea. Is Microsoft really involved in this debacle?
My personal onedrive syncs fine but when I log in using my university office 365 account it just keeps saying "This item can't be displayed. Check your network connection" My network connection is fine and the account is syncing to my laptop so I can't figure out the problem. Please tell me how to fix this for 5 stars
Easy to set options like auto upload photos when connected to Wifi and it will also back up any images sent from whatsapp. Prefer Onedrive over Googledrive as it's built into windows 10 in the file explorer so don't even have to access the Web to see things.
Oh yes! Finally! My Honor 7 has supported already. I can reach and I can use my files on all of my devices. No matter where I am. Thanks a lot! Now it's time to invent the delta sync support. Dropbox has it. And it's time to increase the download speed. Dropbox is so much faster. However the price for the storage space is better than Dropbox.
The new 4.9 update is now working correctly for me, It now displays the green mobile Excel app icon (for editing the document) in the bottom right corner (when in the spreadsheet document overview), thanks MS Onedrive developers
This poor, I have spent the best part of four days messing with this. Trying to upload files from my PC, it took half a day and about 5 attempts, it kept failing with no reason given (& no help/support option). Finally uploaded it, for the free version I have 5GB available, and used 0.9. So thought this is good even though horrendously slow, so tried to upload another file. Now I get the message that says I do not have permission to add files to the folder I already added a file too. I wanted to trial this before paying for the premium, I won't bother, and suggest no one else does.
Amazing way to back up everything. Original photos (not compressed), files and office suite storage. New features are added every now and then based on users requests!

Sometimes the folders that show up in the app don't match those that are actually on the server. Refreshing doesn't fix them. This is a huge issue. Fix it!
