Teams is worse!
Teams is bad until you have to use Amazon chime and work docs.
- Fuck those things.
- The main problem with them is not just the software, which is awful, but that it means you’re working at Amazon.
I’m lucky enough to be working with rather than for, but it does mean interacting with their crappy programs and work culture. Going back to using teams is a relief.
I know right! I had the unfortunate experience of using it for a while and I have no idea how Amazon employees manage to communicate at all. It was an utter mess and looked like it came out of the 2000s.
That sounds awful
Lol why exactly we all hate one drive? I forgor, never used it actually.
If you don’t know, you either haven’t run Win 11 or don’t realize the files on your desktop have been uploaded to OneDrive.
Wait files get uplaoded to OneDrive?? I always delete the onedrive whenever installing windows (in a vm btw) bruh
i forgor 💀
Mostly because it constantly forces itself on you and is difficult to disable or remove even if you take several minutes to attempt to get rid of it. Every fucking time you try to save a file in office it defaults to save to one drive, or at least that was the case for a time.
I had it try to automatically upload all the porn on my PC once
Dunno how that happened but they sure as hell made an enemy that day
I think OneDrive is just fine.
I primarily use it for my Windows PCs, I have it installed on my Macs. Rarely need anything in there from Linux, but it’s nice to be able to pop in from a browser and grab something.
I work in an IT Support role for a lot of users, and I think that OneDrive is the ideal backup for the average Windows user / basic consumer. It covers the folders that most people care about, offers versioning of files, and even ensures that I’m not needed when they transition to a new device even if their previous device does not turn on anymore.
Well, I do believe there are used for it. But it is very annoying when Microsoft keeps throwing it into my face time after time. I don’t want it, I don’t need it, and yet it will always automatically start after an update. For that bullshit alone I already hate it so much I will never use it.
One of the many reasons I’m on Linux now.
I haven’t found that it comes back on its own after being uninstalled but I also deliberately have it on all my daily drivers, so it’s possible that’s happening with the annual feature updates.
In notification settings, there are two options that use the “welcome experience” and “tips / tricks” language - disabling those does away with a lot of the fullscreen subscription solicitations.
A lot of average users do benefit from being asked to opt in once or twice, but I agree there ought to be a more accessible “no thanks, never ask me again” option for power users.
I also wish that stuff was scaled back or stripped out of the professional editions of Windows, LTSC editions don’t have it but the license requirements don’t make that a particularly accessible option.
Linux is definitely the right move, it brings me great joy to see more and more folks discovering that as an option that is bot only viable, but also better. I hope to see Windows 10’s EOL become “the great Linuxing”
The only people not on the meme are the IT procurement people at my work
share point, one drive, dynamics, office 365, teams.
They’re all ganged up with their swords pointed at me just trying to do some work.
Together they’ve managed unseated oracle as the arch nematode, even thogh none of them actually do anything that i need - apart from maybe filing cabinet.
Ah yes, the memories of not being able to put stuff in my documents because “onedrive is out of space” which is when I figured out what onedrive was
That doesn’t happen.
You’re free to use your documents folder as much as you want, it’s still local to your disk / filesystem. Without available space in the cloud storage plan, those items won’t upload to the cloud and will have a red X as their status icon.
It did happen. I had to disable a setting somewhere, which remedied it. Was still incredibly strange to see
Actually, OneDrive works great on Mac.
Or it did in 2021 when I finished school. I stopped using it when my tuition stopped paying for it.
No annoying pop-ups on Mac OS, just a folder that would sync automatically. I could drop school work through the browser and it would be on my drive by the time I got home.
The part that bothers me the most about OneDrive is that it redirects the users Documents/Downloads/etc folders to its own entirely breaking stuff (and making it painfully difficult to find where files went because either it’s in Documents or Documents which are entirely different directories on the hard drive of course. This is particularly agregious given Microsoft already has a really well-made shadowcopy/file history solution which lets you restore files or grab old versions of files straight from the right-click menu. So if OneDrive was simply an optional filehistory endpoint it would be far less reviled. Instead they do this ass backwards redirect that kinda works but makes a mess of things once software not made by companies named Microsoft enters the picture.
Meh. I like onedrive. I use it all the time.
Don’t forget about SharePoint
This meme was just making the rounds on Lemmy like a week ago
If I haven’t seen it, it’s new to me!
For a sec i read “her cat” as “her clit”

James Lee making some more cathartic content
One drive legitimately breaks windows, well not usually but only because developers are smart enough not to use it,
theA problem with One Drive is that Windows in there infinite wisdom has decided to put default folders directly into One Drive: Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc, if a developer was to actually use these folders the auto saves, restores and virtual files stored online would absolutely break what ever is stored in there, now this might sound obvious and of course they are only for the end user developers shouldn’t touch it, but that hasn’t always been true, it wasn’t that long ago when the documents folder was used heavily for saves , but more importantly if the user tries to backup other files that contain programs you know those things that are a hassle to reinstall, then they will break programs.I use onedrive to sync one file around.
Can’t remember if it’s a password file or a notes file from Joplin.
That’s it. For some reason I’ve forgotten, it was the most convenient. And I don’t even use windows.
I’ll sync it in house when I set my server up next year.
