Is the Onedrive web UI always buggy?

IRJ

I always have issues with OneDrive on various browsers. Sometimes its just as simple as being able to see a list of my files.

I always try different browsers, but that doesnt seem to be the issue. Eventually it will clear up and work, but I need access now

Still no luck, displaying my files, but I was able to use search to load the file directly.

Yeah, it all the sudden came back and starting working...

I think that the answer is... yes.

I have best results in (wait for it)... Google Chrome. Otherwise Edge works great.

I've often found MS cloud products to not work well on MS systems. Often stuff works better on Linux, too.

@scottalanmiller Yes

I downloaded the android app. The app itself is ok, but it constantly begs me to update to premium. Which is really annoying!

Don't often have issues in OneDrive for Business via web UI. Maybe they limit the performance of the free one.

I just stopped using it. I use Amazon for photo backups and Alfresco for documents. I have a Box account of 50G free because I signed up when they switched from .net to .com but I don't leverage it that much.

I've never noticed any issues at all using Edge, Chrome, Firefox.

Never had a problem, I've used FFox, Chrome, Edge & Safari.

I've been using this to access OneDrive.

@coliver I went through all of the drive/sync solutions recently and Sharefile was surprisingly the best. That does not include Nextcloud as I never got around to trying it.

I did try the tool @coliver mentions and a few others, but the lag on my large dataset was too much to deal with.

I do agree the web UI for ODfB is slow and buggy, definitely not something I would prefer to browsing a network drive. The sync was the worst of all tested (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc).

Maybe it will improve with that update in the fall where OneDrive Files on Demand will be integrated in Windows 10.
