Network drives mean no local retention and no real good answer for Windows+Mac+Android+iOS clients to remotely access the files. It also doesn't solve sharing those files externally with granular permissions.
All of these kinds things need protection against data loss and centralized control+management, not just the user folder alone.
- vrighter 5mo agoisn't that also the case witf onedrive because it deletes local copies?
- zamadatix 5mo agoWith OneDrive if you edit a file offline and someone edits a file online AND it's not a file type edit it can attempt to merge (like with Office documents) you end up with "{name}-conflict.{extension}" files rather than deleted local copies. You also get version history of files and the recycle bin of files deleted from the cloud to recover any mistakes from.

- vel0city 5mo ago> Network drives mean no local retention Technically speaking, Windows does support client-side caching on network drives. I've used it in the past for a highly limited number of users (read: me, on a personal share) and it works kind of like OneDrive/Dropbox/other cloud platform. But it's really rough and doesn't handle conflicts well. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/web-hosting/configuring-servers-in-the-windows-web-platform/offline-files-for-shared-configuration https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/web-hosting/configurin...
