I just started a job with a very small company. They’ve recently had started sharing files on google drive so others could easily access. They don’t know anything about One Drive. I notice that google drive seems to automatically alter excel spreadsheets (converting to sheets?). Is this what’s happening and would One Drive be a better option for using Excel spreadsheets?
Great question. Google does change the format of an Excel document to a Sheets format when you use it in a Google Suite, but it can mess formulas up, so you need to be careful with this. My recommendation would be: If you're using OneDrive to store documents, use Excel. If you're using Google Drive to store documents, use Sheets. I hope this helps. Thanks! -Kaleigh
@@axiomtech3627 That's a problem then. I store everything in onedrive and sync with my desktop. I do underwriting in Excel and need to share it and collaborate with my partner. Could use Sharepoint but can't stand the platform and I already have workspace as I prefer google. But if it screws up Excel files, not sure what I'd do.
This is really well done, the RUclips response does not begin to reflect how clear and well organized this presentation is. Really first rate !
Amazing video. Probably the clearest and easiest to understand video I've seen highlighting the various aspects of these platforms.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Very clear and precise.
This is a great video !!!
thank you for sharing
thank you you are great!!! just what I needed .. although sharepoint seems to be not really comparable to google shared drives :((((((

Is it easy to share files in Microsoft OneDrive to people outside your company?
It is as long as your Admin allows it.
