About this app

OneDrive is the one place for everything in your work and personal life. It gives you free online storage for all your personal files so you can get to them from your Android device, computer (PC or Mac), and any other devices you use. With OneDrive for Business, you also get storage for your work files so you can share and collaborate on them with other people at your work or school. The OneDrive app for Android lets you easily work with your personal and work files when you’re on the go:

• Browse all your OneDrive files and files shared with you.
• Automatically upload photos and videos to your personal OneDrive account using Camera backup.
• Share your files.
• Move, delete, and rename files, and create new folders.
• Open your OneDrive files in other apps, including Office apps.
• Quickly get to documents you've recently opened.
• Search for your files and folders.

Notes:
For you to sign in to OneDrive for Business, your organization needs to have a qualifying SharePoint Online or Office 365 business subscription plan. You can't sign in with an account from an on-premises directory.
Camera backup, search, sort, and the ability to add OneDrive for Business accounts are available only on devices running Android 4.0 or later.

Ratings and reviews

I try using Microsoft as much as possible, but sometimes, like with this app, I wonder why. I don't know if it's just me(it's definitely not), but sometimes it feels like MS apps are made needlessly complicated. It's super annoying when storage organization an freeing up space turn into an endless loop of not being able to see my data but instead fight with Microsoft prompts about buying more storage, even after paying for more. It's not easy or user friendly at all.

There is one issue that I have with this service, although, because I'm positive, it's operator error, I feel giving anything less than 5 stars as a review would be wrong. My issue is that I have a hard time finding many of the photos & videos. They are there somewhere, though, because I see them quite often when a memory notification pops up, and Wha-La! There they are! Being a technologically handicapped old guy, I wish there was an organizational tool that could be applied to make it easier!

Picture backup doesn't work well. Sometimes it backs the newly taken picture up and sometimes a picture will never show up in OneDrive (wifi is on, picture is in the backed up camera roll folder). In-App feedback (shake to provide feedback) doesn't work, stating it doesn't have wifi nor mobile connection (while I'm sending this review and listening to music online...). At least work files are accessible, slow but better than nothing.

What's new

You can now display your media files on a Chromecast receiver or TV from a compatible device. Look for a Cast icon showing in the top toolbar. We hope you enjoy this top-requested feature!
