  Microsoft’s development tools are first in class IMO, but not much else

  True. I hate that MS office pushes you to yse onedrive. Also, onedrive’s syncing is horrible.

  It puts all your synced folders into a separate but not really sort of “OneDrive” folder. It doesn’t sync very well from my experience. And I lost a bunch of my data due to OneDrive not backing up properly. Now I use pCloud, which actually syncs things in a sane way (ie not creating two separate folders called “OneDrive” and “OneDrive - [workplace name]”) and also have a way better desktop app (you don’t need to navigate the stupid toolbar menu thing to get to settings, pcloud just has an app with organised menus! surely MS has enough funding to make a good onedrive desktop app? right?)

    Microsoft “Why do you need folders when you can just dump everything in the root of the folder!” OneDrive

      with Microsoft’s funding and manpower they can certainly make a better sync app, they simply choose not to. iCloud isn’t much better with only 5GB of free storage and is to iOS as Office 365/OneDrive/an MS account is to Windows. pCloud and IceDrive, despite not being the most profitable company in the present day, both are able to offer 10GB (pCloud annoyingly needs referrals to get up to that, but still)
