Also loves the OneDrive too. I keep almost everything I want to keep there. The only exceptions being drone photos/video and photos from my dSLR.

Office 365 is too expensive for me. If it wasn't for my company sponsoring this, I'd just continue using my $10 price for a Microsoft Office.
If you're in school, know someone in school or have a qualified work email, you can get a full version of the latest Microsoft Office Professional suite for $10.

There is also Google as well as many of the phone manufacturers offer free storage with backup compatibility. Makes it easy to use ones home computer to enter reports and add attachments like photos.
The sites also tend to allow the user to create folders.

I find it quite cost effective. It lets me load Office on all 5 computers in my household plus both household members get full access to 1TB of data in OneDrive (not that we come close to using it). I need to download and check out Office Lens as well. I think it might be very useful.

Lol we can agree to disagree on this one...
Even though the HUP limits you to the amount of devices 1 for 2016 vs. 2 for 2013, the price or a mere $10 per account still beats 365, and it's not some monthly or yearly subscription either. Pay it once, then it's yours!
And Google offers a FREE 15 gb's per account. If I need more storage, I just make a new account.

My problem would be the limit on devices. For myself I need three devices which would only be $69 a year. However, I do pay the extra $30 so my mother can use it on her laptop and iPhone if she likes.
I get there might not be as much value for the part-time or occasional shopper. For anyone doing this close to full-time it is quite useful. If my business computer needs were supplied by an employer I probably wouldn't need it either

Works for you, wouldn't work for me. I need at least 3 devices just for me. So I would have to find 3 people who have qualified email who weren't using it. But mostly, running out of storage and creating a new account defeats the purpose for me. I would constantly be signing in and out of accounts. Then I have to worry about which account my phone was signed into when it automatically uploaded photos. Just all in all not very user friendly for the 1 thing OneDrive is great for: having all of my data (photos and documents both) on all of my devices seamlessly with no extra work. I honestly would pay half my Office365 subscription just for that.

And it should all be tax deductible whichever way you go. Talk to a good tax preparer and you'll find there are a lot of grey areas until you are audited.
If you get the Google Pixel phone, there is very limited on board memory as all of your photos automatically upload to "the cloud". Not sure what the maximum would be in this case, so YMMV.

A new account at Google is no problem I have created at least eight or nine due to jobs that I have worked since Gmail came out. SOme I have abandoned because I want nothing to associate me the old companies. Just bad reviews that I have left. But I still have 5 accounts that I am currently using.
I probably have a dozen google accounts if not more because I've needed different email addresses. That's not the point. The point is when you have more data than google gives you free so you have separate accounts in order to get over the limit. Then you have to log in and out of accounts in order to access data and you're always wondering where what is.

I've been paying Google each month for a little bit of extra Drive - $3 I think. It's got all of my families photos for the past 12 years or so. I just added my MSing folder to it. I would consider using OneDrive for the MSing pics but then I'd have to have 2 separate apps on my phone and it's already to the limit as it is.
SO, is there a way to use OneDrive WITHOUT getting the app?? I would love to take advantage of the 1TB on my 365 account. I don't ever use it. I really tried to like it but having Office on the PC is so much easier it seems. Maybe I need to find a good tutorial with videos or something.

For what its worth, I simply utilize a spreadsheet, which is something I similarly do with my hoarding of hard drives, memory cards and flash drives over the years, especially dating back to my bootlegging days. I organize my files chronologically and by category. For example, pictures and videos of my high school years are stored in one hard drive with a backup, with proper labeling and tracking.
But yeah, I'm OCD when it comes to this kind of stuff, so I get it. You don't want that hassle of tracking multiple accounts. Maybe that's why I fall within a small group of people that is OK micromanaging 25+ active credit cards, 10+ bank accounts for bonuses and even as many as 50+ "Free after Rebate" items.

Do you have a fat wallet? (Yes, I know it went away.) I'm betting you found a lot of slick deals ;-).

I am crying that fatwallet went away. Although there is a replacement up its n9t as good. I have never been a fan of slick deals because of the format.

Haha, I use binder clips to organize my credit cards, rewards, gift cards, etc. I like to keep a slim wallet, actually, with only 10 cards at a time 
I’ve always been a Slickdealer over a Fat Wallet guy though.

I downloaded Office Lens late last night. I played around with a receipt from Dollar General because the receipt is so long. So far, it has a clean, sharp image and it can be cropped. Companies may have an issue with reading the info, because the print is tiny. It doesn't have a feature to link 2 shorter shots of the receipt into one file. Well, if it does I haven't found it.
No ads popped up. The experiment pics went straight to OneDrive and I opened the pics in less than 2 minutes over my house WIFI connection. I saved as documents since I don't know what whiteboard means.
It was easy peasy, so I'm happy with the app right now.

So far on my new phone I'm loving OneDrive. I transferred all of work & personal pics for the last 3 years from my phone, iPad2 and computer. I'm able to access all of my Excel files if I remember the passwords.
I'm in the process of deleting everything I don't need on my iPad2. I'll use it for my knitting or reading from now on.
Finding files/pics on OneDrive is so much easier than hunting though Win 10.
You will probably ned to clean up memory on you phone.
Hope this helps.

I admire your OCD. I used to do it myself, now I don't have the energy. I gave up when I couponing became an obsession and I was missed the enjoyment of the deals.

I save mine as a jpg. I have been using it this week for a project that requires photos of full page documents with great results. Everything has been easy to read and I love that it makes documents that the agent folds in half appear flat even without totally flattening it out. And you don't have to be careful what angle you take the photo at as it adjusta for that as well.
