adobe creative I get, I know plenty of people that are forced to use their products because of the stubbornness of other people they work with.

sharepoint I kinda get, I assume that your company is a windows-only shop?

but one drive? why would anyone use one drive?

We are about 2/3 Windows and 1/3 Mac depending on preference and role. One Drive (for Business) is part of the Office365/Sharepoint package and it automatically backs up documents, desktop, pics etc and syncs with Office online. Really comes in handy in cases of hardware failure, damage, loss, theft. We are all laptops except for conference rooms and servers.
