Onedrive for Biz Roadmap?
Would be great if we could see some roadmap documentation around the OFB product beyond the Q2 which has been communicated fairly broadly. Thanks! -S

Definitely. We're leveraging OFB for our user personal storage, but I'm just kinda blown away that there's no multi-user shared storage product offering to compete with Box and the like, so ShareFile it is. Talon and StorSimple would work but that's just replacing our storage systems, not extending them with offline sync.
Sure, we could move all that stuff into SharePoint and that's where it'd be best kept, but we don't have the time/resources to manage a project like that - SharePoint will be EOL by the time we even got that off the ground.

Office 365 Groups is the 'multi-user' version of OneDrive, the natural step up from your personal storage to your teams storage.
- Regina BragdonJul 16, 2016Copper ContributorSorry, but Office 365 Groups is too slow and awkward for our use. Need robust and streamlined with serious capacity for several users.
- Jul 16, 2016Can you give an example of how a group is slow and awkward ? In my organisation groups are very well recieved, and it's very natural to have defined a list of users once and for this to be common across multiple services.
- David BragdonJul 16, 2016Copper ContributorI'm in that same group where we found groups too slow in file save and retrieval. Perhaps it is the size of our files, the depth of folder structure, the number of folders and the need for all to access almost every document. We look forward to One Drive for Business multi-user shared files expansion by end of 2016.
