Comparison
Why CapturedIt beats OneDrive for research capture
OneDrive and Copilot excel inside Word, Excel, and Teams. They fail at the messy web — articles, GitHub issues, screenshots, voice memos from the field. CapturedIt is the better tool for that layer, with one-click capture, semantic search, and MCP for Cursor and Claude.
How OneDrive and CapturedIt compare
Keep OneDrive for Office deliverables and SharePoint compliance. CapturedIt wins for everything you research outside Microsoft’s stack — faster capture, AI on save, and a library your AI coding tools can actually query.

|---|---|---|
| Save from browser | One-click extension | Manual save |

| Semantic search | Yes (Pro+) | Microsoft Search (files) |

| Screenshot & voice search | OCR + transcription | Files only |
| SharePoint / Teams collaboration | Share links | Native (excellent) |
