As a user of Teams on Windows, I was so glad to find out I can map each Channel's files to a folder on my computer and edit files using LibreOffice rather than the "will it load?" crapshoot of using the web version Office that runs inside the Teams app.
- datadrivenangel 2y agoIt's all sharepoint under the hood, which is why it's terrible, but you can just open things in sharepoint...
- esperent 2y agoI only started using MS cloud stuff last year. This whole Onedrive/SharePoint split confuses the hell out of me. I don't really know what SharePoint is. It seems like kind of an online site builder/file sharing platform? I'm not sure why those would go together. In any case, I get the impression it's kind of deprecated and Onedrive seems much easier to understand.
- recursivecaveat 2y agoSharepoint is like a big umbrella intranet/collaboration enterprise product. It's old, has a million sub-products, is heavily customizable, and is not really intended for normal users to actively do too much with beyond swap files. Onedrive is just microsoft branded dropbox or google drive. Since it's more focused and is a consumer-facing product, not really surprising that users prefer it. While I wouldn't call sharepoint deprecated per se, MS will probably continue to encourage larger and larger companies to just work out of onedrive.
- esperent 2y agoThank you, "cloud version of old school intranet" is a better mental model than what I was working from previously.
