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
Office 365 Groups is the 'multi-user' version of OneDrive, the natural step up from your personal storage to your teams storage.
Sorry, but Office 365 Groups is too slow and awkward for our use. Need robust and streamlined with serious capacity for several users.
- Can 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.
- I'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.
- Groups use pretty much the same backend as OneDrive, so it's going to be the same. Even if you have your OneDrive files synced locally, unless you are completely offline the Office client apps will open them from the cloud in order to allow coediting etc.
The shared multi-use files stuff you are referring to is the ability to sync either groups folders, or to sync folders shared with you. Again for Office files these will generally still open in the same way, from the server.
