I think the downvotes are unwarranted but I understand why people would disagree. Was SharePoint so bad before Teams? Is Teams that much better? I don't really know, my mega-corp work culture isn't "all in" and is not frankly that competent with a lot of tools so maybe we're missing out. But pre-teams we used SharePoint/OneDrive/WhateverBranding and it was fine. The big difference I've seen with document sharing is now you navigate a chat app to find stuff instead of a website and then you waste 3 minutes of a meeting trying to figure out how to open the document in the native app because the Teams embed is shit.
- BenFranklin100 3y agoIt was much more difficult to use SharePoint, at least for us, as we were a small team and had no dedicated IT person. You could use SharePoint and OneNote, sure, but it wasn’t obvious how to create a group with all the docs/notes in one place. We had Teams up and running in a couple of days. Anyone now can create a SharePoint site through Teams. Super simple. MS has released a native app for Teams by the way. Performance is much better. I’m not an advocate for MS, I’m just saying Teams is far more than a chat or video app.
- falsenapkin 3y agoYeah I agree it's more than chat/video I just don't see the need. And sorry I meant the native app for excel/word/powerpoint rather than the embedded versions in Teams. The embedded versions generally seem to be missing features or perform worse or get in the way of other Teams app use cases while using them.
