It's becoming less and less of an issue, however, with both players coming to terms with the fact their users live in an increasingly-integrated landscape, with apps having to work across a variety of operating systems.ĭespite the fact Microsoft has been heavily promoting its Windows Phone OS via its purchase of Nokia, for instance, Google's Android remains the industry leader by some distance. You will need to judge for your own organisation which mobile devices you intend to deploy in the coming years to your staff, as both Google and Microsoft favour their own mobile operating systems. Regardless of the qualities each product has, organisations seeking to deploy either Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive, need to take into account the devices within the organisation.
Both are competent programs which allow users to do light work on documents without the need to have fully-fledged office suites installed. In our view, neither Google Docs nor Microsoft's Office Web Apps should be a deal-breaker when it comes to deciding on Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
