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.
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.
I work in software development, I understand websites, 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

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.
Can you just use a network share?
Teams groups have web pages with sharepoint folders. Any file shared in the teams chat is automatically shoved into the root of it.

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

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