    The average office worker cannot differentiate between a file explorer and a web browser. I wish corporate jobs could switch to Linux over Microsoft.

      You are correct. Explaining our server vs onedrive/teams/SharePoint is a losing battle with most of their eyes glazing over if you try to explain.

        Oh that’s alright, everyone in my office just sticks everything in SharePoint. It’s got up to 13 terabytes now and they’re already whining that that’s not enough. I think they’re hosting 4K blu-ray rips in there.

          Nah, it’s probably a <1mb spreadsheet that’s updated daily by multiple people that has never had version control settings enabled and it’s taking up taking up 10tb.

          SharePoint: this is the way.

            Oooh very accurate. There is some “mandatory” signing sheet for reading the monthly safety info but anyone can edit it and most people are incompetent with computers. Took only 2 months for my name to get deleted by somebody and I just…never signed it again. Nobody noticed.

              I have no idea how IT is taught in schools these days, but there should be a lesson somewhere entitled Excel is not a database, don’t use it as a database.
