### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas…

*2022-10-07, version 2.2.0*

L’ouverture d’un document fait planter l’application…

### 1/5 — Veraltet und unkomfortabel

*2020-11-19, version 2.2.0*

Man kann nur ein Foto auf einmal hochladen und man kann die Qualität der Fotos nicht einstellen.

OneDrive schön und gut aber pflegt auch Work Folders.

### 5/5 — Seems to do the job

*2020-08-01, version 2.2.0*

Seems to work okay

### 1/5 — good but

*2020-06-08, version 2.2.0*

it doesn't support personal accounts.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2020-05-30, version 2.2.0*

Don’t download.

### 1/5 — If I Don’t Work, Microsoft Needs To Assist Me.

*2020-05-11, version 2.2.0*

Hello, 
What a great-looking app!  So, the only problem is I’m retired.  Microsoft does NOT make it clear, until I enter an email address, that an EMPLOYER needs to authorize access.  So I assume, since you’ve made it free and available to anyone, that Microsoft can provide a URL or Microsoft email address so I can use the app.  Otherwise, this is a reportable offense.  I will be so grateful for your cooperation and then no further complaints or other discussion needs to occur.  I will email the developer also, but hopefully this will save others from any trouble over the next 24 hours.  I’m sure he/she will have this fix in several minutes.  

Extremely careless marketing and product placement, if I may be completely clear.

Kind Regards.

### 1/5 — Nice idea, however ...

*2019-12-12, version 2.2.0*

Wants me to have a certificate for my site. Great! Will you pay for it? Certificates should be free! I find the Microsoft idiotic frown smiley, which isn't smiling, to be very insulting. it's nice to turn the tables on an arrogant Microsoft. Have some frown emojis Microsoft 😦🙁😦😞😢😣😓

### 1/5 — Problem accessing app in local network

*2019-09-10, version 2.2.0*

Hi. I want to use this app to access a server on our local network or through VPN. When I setup the address. It give me an certificate error or not trusted. Is it possible to trust the self signed cert. or by pass cert. check when log in?

### 5/5 — Great potential

*2019-08-23, version 2.2.0*

This app works great! I am an IT administrator who needed a cheap means to host a OneDrive like service. Only nit pick is you cannot delete files on mobile, but hey it’s a work folder. Chances are you can just delete when you use desktop.

### 1/5 — No support for Macs

*2019-01-18, version 2.2.0*

Potentially awesome product, crippled by the fact it doesn’t support Mac clients — a death blow in just about any environment big enough to consider implementing Workfolders. Do they not have product marketing people at Microsoft that can figure this stuff out?
