Interesting, I personally use my institutional OneDrive sparingly, but I would love to see my professors and IT staff scramble to switch from 1TB of cloud storage to 20GB. I have always opposed selling everything to MS and nobody has ever cared to offer alternatives (only Moodle and it's badly configured lol)
- xattt 3y agoMicrosoft did get me with their back-up your documents feature to OneDrive. It’s preposterous. Something will come of it, particularly because of how much buy-in there is/was from academic institutions who jumped ship from Google Docs+Drive to Microsoft cloud offerings.
- Al-Khwarizmi 3y agoProfessors don't make those decisions, I'm a professor at a university that uses the full MS suite and I hate it with all my heart.
- azalemeth 3y agoDitto. I complain about it constantly and get patronisingly managed. Everyone I know hates it. Some departments -- like physics -- manage "around" it quite well. Others, with less technological users, have flat-out stated that "it is the way it is" and, well, get on with it. Computers were originally built to serve the needs of academics. Now academics are told to serve the needs of (American) computers.
