Onedrive is a nightmare.
Once made the mistake of keeping some personal photos in the 'pictures' directory of my own laptop.
Then started a course at uni, installed the free student version of MS365 or whatever it's called, including onedrive.
Next thing i know, I get a popup notification displaying the 'best of' my private photos on screen, while I'm showing colleagues something on my laptop!
They deleted pics I saved. I have everything in my own drives and shut one drive out of my computer. POS
At this point, any file you store in Windows is temporary only. Backup it to your phone if you want to be sure.
And, of course, neither of them is private. Expect them to be sent to everybody you know with your name attached.
This is not the future we were promised. I never would have thought that we would have to be our own security experts to save ourselves from the companies we depend on.
not to be "the guy" ... but there are alternatives, surprisingly simple, if you just give it a try
Ha ha ha, I get what you're putting down. It's just another thing I have to deal with and I have no idea on how to start. You guys seem great, I just can't even begin to think about it. I'm procrastinating enough on my paid projects.

Every single file you put in onedrive is stolen by m$ to train their shitty AI.
I bought Windows laptops for my elderly parents a couple of years ago. The default screen saver was something that just showed a rotation of pictures. This seemed innocent enough until my parents started saving pictures on their computers ... and these pictures started showing up in the screensaver rotation, unbidden. They're far too old for this to have produced anything embarrassing, but jesus fucking christ Microsoft!

Personal photos, or personal photos?
“[…] I love Teams”

hey you can't do that
"You can[...] do that"
MS DOS was nice. Nothing special, but definitely not shit.
The multibillion dollar company I work for hosts literally everything on Teams and OneDrive. We absolutely have the capacity for storage on-site, we absolutely have the capacity to spin up our own cloud. They just do it this way because "well it's already there".

I've said that, and meant it, but it was when Teams first came out. At the time, it was just a bare-bones Slack clone with the alternative being the godawful Skype for Business. lol.
All they had to do was just stop making it worse from there.
Microsoft: hold my beer!
I know, right? Ballmer was batshit crazy but at least you could squint your eyes and his decisions kind-of made sense (e.g. Windows 8 was a turd, but you could at least see what he was trying to do). Nadella has just shoved in cloud and now AI bullshit since he took over, and no thanks.
Confirmed hilarious by an actual stroke victim.
lol! You had a stroke!?
No, my wife. I ran it by her and got a hearty laugh.
What does she think of Microsoft Teams?
She has an objectively correct opinion on it.

Actual signs of a stroke for those who want to or should know: the acronym is FAST- face, arm, speech, time to call 911.
Or FAST VAN if you want to be a first aid nerd.
V - visual disturbance
A - aphasia
N - neglect (of use of body parts they would otherwise probably be using)

I had hope for Microsoft when they came out with WSL and VS Code.
I was a fool, of course.

So uh, what's everyone using these days to call internationally to cell phones or company landlines? Because teams looks like they've cut all that functionality for me, unless I'm just not understanding their dumbass interface.
We never had the ability to make outside calls from teams, only teams to teams calls. We went from physical phones on desks to Cisco soft phone since lockdown.
Got it. So basically micro$hit shut down Skype with nothing to replace it.
Yep, but don't worry I'm sure they're busy vibe coding an update to teams to allow outside calls once you sign up for a phone subscription.

The first one can also just be a sign of ventriloquism, though.
So, so true.
I redesigned my team's intranet at work so we could minimize the use of Teams as much as possible.
But I do like MS teams
Stockholm syndrome.
Help is on the way. An ambulance will be at your location shortly.
It's so calming when it just decides to not get any new message for a day and starts removing meetings from your schedule...
There is so much to like!
I think my favourite is when you go through the files in a team then click "Copy link". It thinks, thinks, thinks, then when it's done it has a big green tick but doesn't actually copy the link until you click a second copy link button.
But I do quite like how when you find the file you want and switch to a chat then it loses your place. And as far as I can tell, there's no way to bookmark a folder, which is great.
Long story short I love how it tries to do everything instead of being good at one thing!
You and me are out there enjoying it (unless you are being sarcastic, then it's just me out there in ignorant bliss).
I still don't get why people are so opposed (it's cheaper than the collection of apps required to do the same thing). The best reason I heard was it doesn't work well on Linux, which I'm like duh - they don't care about that demographic, like, at all. My best thinking is that maybe folks aren't using all the features. I mean, one of them is a voiced Copilot summary of a meeting done by a man and woman, like they are talking about the meeting at the water-cooler. Truly terrible and amazing all at once.
I use MS teams on Linux all day long for work through web browser (I think it's a PWA app?) and have no issues at all. I'm not saying I love MS teams but I am not running into any bugs with it. My only complaint is they used to have a 'native' Linux app that ran using something called electron that would allow for notifications in my desktop environment, whereas now in the browser I don't get those, but that didn't really end up being a problem.

For me is the low bar of quality assurance. It is so incredibly filled with bugs.
Wrong connection status, inconsistent connection status, sometimes decides to not receive any calls and ghost missing calls are a daily ocurrence in my group. Literally any of these bugs will happen 5+ times a day.
I'm also convinced it is the reason my Win10 install got borked and had to reinstall the whole OS.
It is so incredibly filled with bugs.
I've had a number of programmer coworkers end up working for MS. They were without exception either a remarkable blend of incompetence and apathy, or wannabee product managers whose sole ambition was to never write a single line of code themselves ever again. I'm amazed that anything coming out of Redmond ever works at all.

I never knew strokes were so similar to signs of intellectual disability.
I have a stroke every time I hear that obnoxious BONK and now I have to deal with another one of my boss's enigmatic poorly-worded urgent requests...
