Yeah I get you.
Onedrive seems so bizarrely complex. My entire organisation is 5 people. We just want a big shared folder with all our stuff.
Comment on I think an intern helps them tie their shoes too

Ms365, onedrive, and teams integration makes me feel like the PDF saver.
I’m fucking smart and I crush my job, but the way they’ve “integrated” all of their dumb services has me asking my team to “just send me a $&@$ing email with the pdf”.
My job isn’t MS office guru. My job involves using PPTs, docs, XLS, etc to get funding, effect strategy, guide investment, brief senior leadeahip, and all that. But holy shit I feel like I turn into a clown/Luddite with dumb MS office tools.

Teams groups have web pages with sharepoint folders. Any file shared in chat is automatically shoved into the root of it.

That’s yeah. … Bigger corps have people specifically organising the SharePoint (amongst other responsibilities). Tbh I don’t think that’s all too strange, I used to spend a couple of hours every other month sorting my personal files.

Can you just use a network share?
fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months ago
No. We work in multiple locations.

If you can drive a change you could switch to something like next cloud, own cloud, or cryptpad. Much simpler

Yeah look it’s complex.
I fought the fight for many years. LibreOffice, nextcloud, etcetera.
A couple of years ago I just got sick of it. I wanted “it just works” solutions for everything or at least to simply be able to say “IDK why it’s not working” when something breaks.
At that time it felt like Microsoft had turned the corner and were maybe on a trajectory towards something less evil than google for example.
Now just a few years later I feel like they’re worse than ever. I switched back to debian as a daily driver a few months ago.

I work in software development, I understand website, webservices and the backend it all runs on at a pretty deep level.
But I never owned an Apple device. So whenever my wife (iMac user) has a problem and I try to help, I struggle with all the basic shit. I don’t know the interface, don’t know the menu structure, don’t have muscle memory for basic key bindings (like copy paste).
Same with my parents, a few years ago my dad gave my mom his old iphone, didn’t do any factory reset etc. She used logged out his apple id and logged in hers. But the apps he installed refused to update, very little information from the device about the problem. They don’t know you shouldn’t do this and just give me the phone and say apps don’t update. It took me a while to figure out what the hell was even going on.

I just refuse to help with Apple stuff. My family knows my disdain, if you’re on apple and can’t figure something out, you made your bed now you lie in it lol

Same, the only person I do humor with an attempt is my mom but everyone else I just say ‘sorry don’t know apple’.
