I gave up using Evernote for a digital note and file organiser. It has no file structure; needing to attach every file to a note was inefficient; and it didn’t integrate with Office. OneDrive solves these issues, but introduces some others. To improve the app it would be nice to have: 1. Some way to create/edit simple note files without needing to open Word 2. As a followon to this, a way to create new notes in one button-press direct from the menu (side point: OneNote might be ok for detailed study notes, but it’s useless for day-to-day quick note taking) 3. A media player to queue audio and video files - especially files in the same folder 4. Keep files open when switching between apps instead of periodically resetting to the main menu 5. Along the same lines, remember where I am up to on documents and audio files so I don’t have to keep re-finding my place. 6. Smaller or configurable font size so I can see most if not all of a file name. Other than that, this is a pretty good app. The UI is attractive and intuitive. And everything works reliably as designed.
A great tool.....but what have you done to PDF mark up?
StevoNZ2019
I use One Drive for everything now and in fact across two separate domains . It synchs in very well on the Mac desktop and viewing the office documents on the go are good too. BUT what have you done to the PDF mark up capability on tablet with pen-the eraser has become terrible with no size adjustment, the tool bar is in the worst place and wastes view space (put it back up top) and what is with written notes slowly deteriorating over time? Please sort this out else I will have to look at using another app. It used to be much better but we seem to have had a retrograde step. Pdfs ppt and word are the lifeblood of on the go mark up- one drive has taken a step back in this regard-shame as everything else is great.
App Ok but Still Disappointing

If I have a look at my off-line files in the app I can tally up about 6 GB worth of off-line files. If, however, I go into settings, general, iPhone storage, I see 28 GB. This has happened before and the only way to resolve it seems to be to delete the whole app and reinstall.If you play an audio file from OneDrive, the phone gets hot, consumes lots of battery, but does manage to work. If however, I go through the Apple files app to get to OneDrive and play the same audio file battery drain and hot phone are gone. If photos are being uploaded you need to have Onedrive in the foreground to be sure it happens. The photo upload seems to take a long time to complete once it gets to 100%.There’s some really clunky things about this app. I would have thought Microsoft could’ve done better.Geoffrey, NZ
Invasive and slow

Forces a feature called “on this day” where it shows you photos from your past. You can’t turn it off, you can only turn off notifications. In addition, the uploads are usually slow, and the app interface itself with regard to sharing and viewing links, setting permissions, etc. is clunky and not user friendly. If we can’t disable on this day, then on a day in the near future we’ll move to another cloud provider.Even worse, if you turn off camera upload to avoid everything being automatically categorised and spat back at you in the future, it’ll constantly harass you to turn it back on when viewing photos. This is everything that’s wrong about cloud services lately - you have to have everything they say or they’ll make the service impossible to use. We’re done.
We would like to let our users know that we are planning on dropping support for the OneDrive app on iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 versions soon. Please ensure you're on one of the later versions of iOS/iPadOS (26 or 27) to make sure you're still able to access the latest version of the OneDrive app.
Version 18.11.2
