As a Linux person forced to use OneDrive at work, OneDrive sucks in almost every capacity. Why would I pay MS for a service that fails at its core objectives?
News media literally will not use it. Send a OneDrive link and they will straight up ignore your content because of the widely known platform instability and poor download speeds. Time is money.
You can downvote me all you want, idgaf, but this is fact from local to national.
Sometimes it randomly stops synchronizing without telling me, and I need to physically move between machines and locations to get everything back online again. Network issues can happen to any vendor, but why is there no notification for days at a time about it?
Somewhat related, it happens that overdrive fails to read timestamps and deletes my work because another computer without it comes online. That’s fairly unacceptable from a synchronization tool that demands to replace my hard drive.
Not being a Microsoft product, not giving people something to complain about.
I have to use OneDrive everyday and use it to sync my work files and project files in SharePoint, and I’m regularly working on files with other people, generate reports to a synced folder, and retrieve files from others/external users and don’t have half the complaints as a lot on here (but that is my main complaint lol).
Literally the only issue I have with it is with external sharing. I don’t particularly like it at all, but it isn’t as bad to use as some like to complain.
My company switched over to it to use with sharepoint for our quality system instead of synology because all files need to be tracked and we were already integrated with Microsoft every other way. That was two months ago.
Since then, multiple people have come forward with problems about syncing documents.
I, myself had multiple times already in this short time where I would make changes to a file, save it, one drive would sync and tell me the changes were pushed, colleagues got the previous version while their one drives told them everything was synced, and then I had to open my version again from the Onedrive folder to see that it was the new version, manually save it again, and then manually pause and resume syncing, then FINALLY it would push the changes.
It isn’t common, but when you have hundreds of thousands of files and there is a 0.1% chance that it silently fails syncing some files with absolutely no indication, even in the admin logs, that happens many many times

Name two capacities that it fails in
Touché

Doesn’t news media kinda ignore everything anyway?
Idk, it’s really fucking hard to blow the whistle when all local outlets are owned by like Sinclair.
No they do not ignore everything. Especially when you have working relationships and mutual benefit.
I don’t like OneDrive but that’s not correct. I work in broadcast news and we absolutely use OneDrive for internal and external file sharing.
To be honest, that sounds like an internet issue.
