# Microsoft OneDrive vs Zscaler Client Connector

The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft OneDrive at 4.7 against Zscaler Client Connector's 2.4. Microsoft OneDrive also leads on ratings volume (488K vs 142) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). Zscaler Client Connector's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft OneDrive sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Zscaler Client Connector asks for nothing beyond the download.

Microsoft OneDrive holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft OneDrive has 488K ratings behind it against 142, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Microsoft OneDrive's written reviews are positive against 24% of Zscaler Client Connector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Microsoft OneDrive ships an update every 10 days, Zscaler Client Connector monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
