Lets face it SharePoint and OneDrive are clunky and not intutive…
Are you struggling with shared files with SharePoint?
Most users are familiar with local drives and shared network drives. S-drive, H-drive, or similar. Moving files to SharePoint and OneDrive, because it’s included with Microsoft 365 plans is NOT always the answer (although it may be for some users). Don’t get me wrong at first SharePoint looks good (and it’s pretty) there are use cases i.e. it’s a website / Intranet portal that can be adapted for various types of uses. If you need to share files with other users and use them normally like a local PC drive or network drive, remember SharePoint is NOT a File Server and has many limitations.
Users soon find limitations and struggle when using SharePoint to store files like a normal PC or Server. Cloud Drive gives users something they are already familiar with, improving productivity. With Cloud Drive, there are a few more bells and whistles like the previous version, sharing and access control (external Sharing if company policy allows), Mobile, and Web Access.
At Logical Micro, we make full use of SharePoint and OneDrive, as a web portal it can be a useful communication tool for users. Naturally, we build SharePoint Sites for customers and encourage them to use OneDrive for personal files. However, with Thousands/Millions of Files and Folders users struggle to use SharePoint in particular, even with workarounds. This is where Cloud Drive excels and most users find it easier and intuitive.
Do you have issues using SharePoint and or OneDrive for CAD??
For CAD users SharePoint is a non-starter.

Cloud Drive can be ‘Cloud Only’, Private Cloud (your Server storage) or Hybrid deployment with Cloud Storage
Cloud Drive is more than a Secure, VPN-less network share that works across the Internet on PCs, MAC, and Mobiles (Android & iOS Phones/Tablets) and can be accessed by a web portal.
It can be a Cloud-only solution with Storage in the Cloud like Microsoft Azure, if you have moved away from Local on-premise File Servers. However, many companies still have File Servers for databases, Accounting Systems, Print servers and CAD / graphics-intensive applications. Cloud Drive enables you to access Server files remotely over the internet – with or without Cloud storage such as Azure.
Anytime, anywhere access on Any Device (almost!) – Windows, MAC, iOS, Android and Web Portal.
