  I’ve used Everything 1.5 and Everything Server 1.5 for our small business to help our employees find files on the SMB file share since about 2022. It has been very good. People don’t have to waste time doing deep folder hierarchies. They’ve settled on “DATE Rough description” folders with a bunch of documents inside relevant to that “task”. These task folders can be forgotten, but with good folder and file naming, are easy to stumble upon later using Everything when we need info on an old task/project/etc. The new Microsoft 365 stuff is so shiny, but the poor integration with traditional SMB shares is incredibly frustrating. We now have two split areas of documents: SMB and “The Cloud”. Nothing they offer for SharePoint/OneDrive Business/Azure gives proper integration between old and new. Even worse, the new documents are often silo’d into specific user’s personal OneDrive which is basically undiscoverable by default. The old workflow of choosing a place to save the document early kept documents visible and rapidly shared. Now someone could be drafting a document for days before others even see it. Or they could forget to ever move it from their personal space to a team/shared space. sigh I’m thinking I’ll code a simple tool that creates hyperlinks to SharePoint in SMB.
