About

Microsoft Lens (formerly Microsoft Office Lens) trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and docs readable. You can use Microsoft Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, and you can even save images to OneNote or OneDrive. Microsoft Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitize notes from whiteboards or blackboards. Always find important documents or business cards. Sketch your ideas and snap a picture for later. Don't lose receipts or stray sticky notes again!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing - even worse if you do not have consistently good internet! I have lost files - I have used the wrong version of files. I have spent hours trying to fix this. Even ChatGPT gave up and said talk to MS Support!
  • The content collaboration features of Microsoft OneDrive are excellent. This has been a superb and friendly tool that makes the sharing of files so smooth and efficient.
  • I am impressed by the simplicity and ease of use of Microsoft OneDrive. Microsoft OneDrive keeps our files secure online.
  • Useful collaboration features like document co-authoring. Robust mobile apps allow accessing files on the go. Also amazing integration with other Microsoft apps.
  • The platform's synchronization functionality allows for easy access to files across devices, which further enhances flexibility for the users on the go.

Cons

  • It tries to take over - it falsely claims folders are synced when they are not and beware the BIG one - folders that are ONLY on Onedrive Cloud but not locally on your drive. Despite setting the folder to ALWYS be on your device.
  • I am impressed because all the features of Microsoft OneDrive are amazing and reliable. I do not have even a single complaint.
  • I have zero issues with Microsoft OneDrive. Microsoft OneDrive has been amazing.
  • Syncing large folders can be slow & error prone, Advanced features requires Microsoft 265 subscription.
  • When dealing with a large no. of files & folders it has been a bit messy.
