OneDrive does nothing well. The syncing app is incredibly slow to pickup changes, often stalls or results in conflicts, and the MacOS version is much worse than the Windows version. The web UI is built from parts of Sharepoint and is slow and unintuitive.

Things have improved in the last year but you would have to use the other apps to really see the difference. Dropbox is still ahead of the others in terms of syncing tech with apps that reliably update changes within seconds. I can save a file and have the latest status reflected by the time I switch over to my browser and refresh the web UI.

Thank you for the insight. I will give dropBox a try. I currently don't have automatic Syncing enabled on my desktop which explains why I could not see Onedrive the way you did.
