## Review summary

Users generally praise OneDrive for Android for being smooth and easy to use, with strong usefulness for backups and daily tasks. However, repeated concerns focus on missing document features after Lens (no scanning or PDF creation from photos), limited storage capacity, and a preference by some users to avoid cloud-only workflows in favor of local transfer.

### Pros

- Smooth performance on Android
- Easy to use / simple interface
- Very useful for backups and daily tasks
- One of the best apps

### Cons

- Missing scanning and PDF creation from images after Lens migration (no option to turn photos into files)
- Storage fills up very quickly
- Cloud-centric workflow may be undesirable for some users who prefer local transfer
