1. [R2] Microsoft OneDrive 5/5 · US Love!!: We use this app for our business and it’s nice to have everything all in one place and on hand at all times.
2. [R8] Microsoft OneDrive 5/5 · US Access to everything from anywhere: Just can’t place value on access to all my laptop files from my phone. I can do pretty whatever I want from wherever I am.
3. [R56] Microsoft OneDrive 4/5 · US OneDrive Review: Great Service, but Mac Experience Could Be Improved: I’ve been using OneDrive for years and really appreciate how reliable it’s been for storing and syncing my files across devices. It’s become an essential part of how I work and stay organized. That said, I do wish the Mac experience were a bit more refined. Features like Personal Vault integration and a smoother option to save
4. [R64] Google 1/5 · US I’m so done with their stupid AI mode: You can’t even search up an image and have text without it, dragging you to the AI mode and then Google becomes unresponsive the hallucinations the AI have make it useless I never find anything useful on Google it’s not even a good company because they do shady stuff I don’t recommend downloading and they’re going to try to hide this
5. [R3] Microsoft OneDrive 3/5 · US Not always reliable: It happens with inconvenient frequency that I’m unable to open a file unless I shut down and re-open the OneDrive app. Not good.
6. [R15] Microsoft OneDrive 3/5 · US App keeps crashing: App keeps crashing. Cannot access it for work
7. [R49] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Files Never Refresh: Ridiculous. I have been waiting for months for all my files that are on every other OneDrive (online, on my personal computer, etc.) to sync in the OneDrive app. They never do. I have done several updates, checked settings, etc. This is not a problem with other services like Google Drive.
8. [R63] Google 3/5 · US It’s Just Okay!: I prefer a different search engine that doesn’t change the screen if you leave it and come back to it. I also prefer one that doesn’t track your information or location. I also don’t like having suggestions based on something that I looked up because I wasn’t sure what it was.
9. [R4] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Doesn’t open: App does not even open. Shows cloud and stays there then shuts down my app.
10. [R6] Microsoft OneDrive 3/5 · US Random freezes: So I barely use it unless I’m posting game clips right and while I’m trying to save clips to my phone the app freezes randomly . That needs to be looked into . Good app overall but why this bug happening now but when I select anything on my computer it dont freeze
11. [R25] Microsoft OneDrive 2/5 · US Does not sync with my iPhone.: Started out pretty good, but I think if there are too many files, it’s simply just shuts down the synchronization process and does not update. Annoying. I’ve tried to break it into the smaller folders, but it still will not synchronize.
12. [R13] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Customer trust buster!: I had this app installed for storing and viewing documents. Somewhere along the way they added some feature to start uploading photos as default option. Then they filled up my free space of 5GB and started sending me reminders to add more storage. Complete customer trust buster! If you need to install this app please check the settings turn off ALL unnecessary options and
13. [R28] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Awful: Designed to force user to continually buy more storage space. Abysmal!
14. [R72] Google 3/5 · US Too many ads, privacy cookies and sales of personal data.: Way too much! People forget there are other, safer ways to search. Anytime I google something, it ends up in ads and emails with an hour. Not everyone wants a Gmail account.
15. [R84] Google 3/5 · GB Still too much…: Unwanted and not needed rubbish pushed in the direction of users! Default download includes much of the rubbish - delete all of it when you set up! Also immense patience will be required when / if you’re trying to find the way to log out of your Google account! It can be done, but they make it as difficult as possible to keep the subscriber numbers up for Ad revenues!
16. [R19] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Operations error: When I open Lens to scan documents as before, it jump to this App, then I login and try to scan again, it pop up error, couldn’t save messages and didn’t guide me the next step how to solve this issue.
17. [R22] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Fantastic app if you don’t actually want to organize your files: OneDrive keeps serving me an old version of a file even though the thumbnail and metadata in the preview in the app reflects the current, correct version
18. [R46] Microsoft OneDrive 1/5 · US Keep asking for Authorization: From last month this app started behaving abnormal and each time start up asking for password or other methods. It’s really annoying and frustrating experience.
19. [R70] Google 1/5 · US Managing History: Too many issues trying to delete and manage your history.
