Not Microsoft, but related:
I am convinced that there's a major issue with iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos losing files and photos. I've got more than one folder on iCloud Drive I know had files in them; but nothing is there. I've got old photo albums, from say 2012 or so, that have 6 pictures in them; but the identical album in Google Photos has 9 (I always manually replicate uploads, albums, etc to Google. A backup, I guess).
The one good thing I'll say about Google is; I've got Hangouts chat logs from like freakin 2007 or something in my history. In fact, their data retention may be too good; about six months ago I logged into Google Drive (Workspace) to find a bunch of folders I know I had deleted, years ago, and I mean years, just chilling in the root folder. Stuff from 2010? 2011? It was actually a trip down memory lane, and I'm not un-glad to have recovered some of the stuff for my archives, though its unclear why it happened.
Dropbox as well. I don't use it regularly, but I signed into my Dropbox account from the 00s one day the other day, and everything was just there. For 14-15 years, never paid them a dime.
The fascination with Microsoft in the corporate world is a collective psychosis that we'll probably never recover from. Everything they make is shit. Its insecure, unreliable, doesn't do half of what it advertises, and does the other half so much worse than the worst competition that their products' adoption in organizations could by any reasonable logic be correctly viewed as intentional sabotage.
- dmvdoug 3y agoI feel like Howard Oakley (https://eclecticlight.co/ https://eclecticlight.co/) has written about issues with iCloud products but I’m sleepy and don’t feel like digging through search results.
