Sounds like your IT team messed up the setup. In their defense, Microsoft doesn’t make it easy to set it up well.
A “good” setup hides all this shit from the end user. All your “library” folders (Documents, Desktop, Pictures, etc) can be invisibly made into OneDrive folders. Still save your shit where you normally do, navigate in the file manager like you normally do, no lag for changes you do locally to show locally, minor lag (like 1-2 minutes) for changes to propagate to OneDrive itself (and other machines you are currently logged into). Just now everything is backed up to the cloud.
I’ve had exactly the same experience. Let me addd one more: when OneDrive decides to back up open files, they ate regularly deleted both from local and cloud. Those are the files I tend to use the most, and I grew so frustrated that I ended recreating my Documents folder steucture in my Downloads folder, which doesn’t get synced. (IT is useless; when I complained abou that, they told me that One Drive was a third-party application, and they didn’t support those. )
I have managed to convince IT that Linux is essential for my line of work. My work goes smoothly while I watch my Windows colleagues raise the most absurd tickets for their problems.
“Yeah, it’s a known issue. This needs access to Microsoft servers but our firewall won’t allow it. You need to connect to a hotspot to resolve this.”
“You need to install a package for LaTeX for a different font? Better raise an RFC and get it approved by your supervisor”
“md5sum? Never heard of it. Please justify the business requirement for this tool”
On most computers, if you hit F12 in any Office application, it will bring the classic Save As window to bypass this bullshit.
It’s also nice if you ever wonder where a document was recently saved. I hit F12 again to see where it last saved.
I use it all the time at work because this has always been such an ugly, convoluted piece of shit to deal with when I just want to save to my local storage.
I feel like I’m using save locations more than I should be because MacOS has tagging. Just haven’t taken the time to research how useful tags are and, if people like them, the time to get used to it as part of my workflow.
Yeah fair enough, same shit where I work too. It’s a little crazy how protective they are of their proprietary secrets, but they just straight up rely on microsoft to handle all the data, be it via email, cloud services, or that Sharepoint shit. I wonder how many companies would have their secrets exposed if that data was ever stolen from the MS servers?
What you want to do is get one that is more roughly shaped but still recognisable as a paw print and have the paw part be made of a soft material that hard enough to leave paw prints in dort but inconsistentently so the paw prints in the dirt aren’t perfectly uniform
It would also be better to have the paw part be casted from a real dog paw
I think they meant, that they also pooped, since the neighbor was ranting about the poop ( it must have been a dog in their logic, because of the dog footprints )
I hear you, though I think this is less about education and more about getting folks to fork over $9.99 a month. Like so many others, I’ve a long frustrating relationship with Microsoft. They’re literally the largest company in world atm and they just keep laying off people. I don’t hate them quite as much as EA or Comcast, but it’s getting pretty close.
