Have they fixed the other problems with this service?

We did a pilot of Office 365 with an eye on using the OneDrive stuff (in addition to migrating to the cloud Exchange service) and found:

- There's no mac client for the business one drive. Only windows. - Documents are silently modified by adding a "signature" to them. In some cases this wouldn't matter, but in others it definitely would. - There was a 20,000 item limit. (files or directories) There's ways to get around this by creating additional collections, but that's hard and has its own limitations and issues. - Individual files had a 2GB size limit. - Those combined to mean that the "1TB" space limit was meaningless.

Note: "One Drive" and "One Drive for Business" are totally different. The stuff connected to "Office 365" is the business stuff and it's really some friendlier front-ends on some kind of Cloud SharePoint thing...

- The Mac Client for OneDrive Pro ( SkyDrive Pro ) seems to be 'In Development'[1] (OneDrive For Business Sync for Mac). But the OneDrive App works for OneDrive for Business too.

- OneDrive now supports 10GB files.[2]

- I am not certain but from what I know. The 20,000 limit is a suggested limit which isn't imposed. One can upload more than 20,000 files but above 20,000 files there is some sync issue with the present sync tool.

The limitations you're describing (especially 20,000 file limit, collections, lack of a Mac client etc) sound like OneDrive For Business limitations, not OneDrive limitations. Best to think of the two as completely separate unrelated products because they behave so differently. Apparently OneDrive For Business won't get the increase until later 2015.

The OneDrive 2GB filesize limit has apparently been lifted & increased to 10GB per file: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2605912/onedrive-now-allows-f...

From the link: "We’ve started rolling this out today to Office 365 Home, Personal, and University customers." I'm using Office 365 University and it definitely is the normal "One Drive" (just offers more space for it). The branding here seems a bit confused.

OneDrive for Business is part of Office 365 which is run on Sharepoint online cloud service by Microsoft.

In this OneDrive has two different services, you can use both as a Office 365 user. What you are using is the personal service for OneDrive which is on the onedrive website, the other is the sharepoint online for teams which is used for collaborating files in different projects, teams etc...
