> It's not much effort to just drag and drop a file into … OneDrive … See, there’s the problem. Once you touch anything M365, you’re using SharePoint. People see SharePoint as a document collaboration tool. But, in reality, it’s real use is as a data storage platform.

Which is so funny because it was a pain in the ass on prem to make sharepoint work for that purpose. Silly item restrictions, complaints about database sizes (which stored the files), etc

  Most of the restrictions have been dropped. You can ignore the database size. Multi-TiB content databases are fine. But SPO uses Azure Blob Storage to store content rather than SQL databases.

    Sure. Just saying when that first was brought up in 2007+ and I had to admin it and people loved their folders and searching and such wouldn’t work because if the view sizes.

      ...That's a completely different complaint. And also solved long ago.

        It was at the time when MS was marketing it as a CMS and file storage hence me saying that’s funny…
