Obvious features are missing. Google/DropBox still much better.

There are huge limitations to this software that neuter its usability.

There is a file size limitation of 10GB. In today’s day and age, this is too small.

You cannot ‘Share’ stuff via a right click. Google Drive and DropBox are way ahead in this arena.

You cannot map your OneDrive to an external drive. This was a capability in the Enterprise version that was removed. So, if you have a 100GB hard drive, and 100GB of contents in your OneDrive, OneDrive will attempt to eat up as much of your HD as possible. Mapping this to an external drive (like an SDCard) makes sense. But you cannot do this.

And that last part is not just a ‘feature’ that was left out. There is code in OneDrive that specifically prohibits this. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried mounting my drives in places other than /Volumes. I have even tried setting a normal, default OneDrive location on the HD, letting it initialize/sync, and then moving that folder to an external drive, and putting in a symlink where the original folder existed, linking to the external drive. OneDrive even detects the symlink! They legitimately, deliberately don’t want you to be able to put your files where you want to put your files.

The ludicrous thing is that I can park my OneDrive inside of my Google Drive. How dumb is that? I can’t put OneDrive on an external disk, and they wrote code specifically to prohibit this. But they’ll let you map OneDrive to your Google Drive or DropBox.

O365 and its offerings, especially from an Enterprise perspective, are limited. If you can, you are best to stay away from them until Microsoft cleans up their act.
