Microsoft's OneDrive vs. other Cloud options
Posted on 4/8/14 at 1:35 pm
Posted on 4/8/14 at 1:35 pm
I am looking for a cloud drive that enables our employees to both upload/download files from anywhere there is a web connection as well as edit these files like excel, one note, word, etc. and have them simultaneously updated
Can onenote do this? And is there a better option?

Dropbox for business...has a 14 day free trial so you can see if it works for your needs.

onenote - maybe, It would be easier to just share the one note notebook
The others - yes

Obviously the person must already have on their computer those specific software programs, but yes Dropbox will work. And I find it a lot more user-friendly and navigable than OneDrive.

I read the OP as wanting to do the edits "in the cloud" and them be accessible to everyone..

In case OP doesn't realize, Box is different (and better for businesses) than dropbox.

google docs does this for free and has for 3 years?

Google Drive lets you create/edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings and forms. Plus 15gb of space free and can access anywhere. Even offline mode.
If you want to upgrade space here are the prices that blow DropBox out the water.

Yep, it's more of a luxury but would really be awesome to not have to download something you're working on, edit it, then upload it again

I'm not trying to convince you one way or another, but having the file downloaded allows one to work on the file while not connected to the internet. The files will update throughout the dropbox/cloud service users when connected. The files you want to be able to share are minuscule relative to the amount of storage available.

All Microsoft products. OneDrive is integrated into Office 2013 and syncs to onedrive automatically if configured right.
Office 365 also ties into OneDrive and can edit on the web and allows simultaneous users to update a document as well.
Others mentioned other services and they all work, but if you are focused on Microsoft products then onedrive would be easy especially if you use office 2013 or 365.

I work for a company that has tons of SharePoint sites and salesforce.
They're all a steaming pile.
My department uses a free shared gdrive account we created just for our group and the collaborative pieces are top notch.
We can always export the docs to PowerPoint or excel or word for the dinosaurs in our office.
I can't speak highly enough of Google. My department is so much more efficient and we have probably 100+ shared documents we work with.
Bonus: Google search built in.
Also if you've never edited a gdoc with 4 or 5 others at the same you can't appreciate how elegant this is compared to that 'track changes' trainwreck Microsoft offers.
