You want to hear another one ?
I am working with a digital native. This week we are supposed to write a small blog post about collaborative tools. He joined the team 9 months ago and it's the first time we ever work on something together. We share a google drive with 3 other members. I ask him to create the doc, we'll start working on it.
He creates it, starts working on it then shares the link in messenger.
Link doesn't work, I don't have access. Curious, as I am the one who created the drive. Well, I ask him to add me to the collaborators (maybe he created without sharing). He can't, doesn't find where to update the doc permissions.
I understand he created the file outside our shared folder. He doesn't get how to move it from his folder to our folder.
He's 23, fresh out of uni., working as a marketing/digital consultant, writing a blog post about collaborative tools but can't figure out how to share a doc.
I concede google drive UI is a trainwreck but still.
- kungtotte 7y agoI'm convinced this kind of thing will become more common, because so many people use mobile devices as their primary/only computing device. They have very little concept of filesystems, directories, or even files. For them data lives inside apps, each app only lets you save data inside that app in a predefined location, and moving data between apps is done by hitting the "share" icon.
