Microsoft onedrive, 365 integration, teams and all of that is the most frustrating experience I've had with a computer in a very very very long time.

It's infuriating to try and save something. I have no fucking clue where it's going to go. There's like a one drive directory structure that's exactly the same as the local one, but also sometimes it just saves it in some temp directory or weird onedrive area??

No worries, I'll just open file explorer and it will be in the "recent files list", right? Just kidding." Fuck yourself, I'm windows and that file doesn't count as a recent file for some reason. Good luck finding it!"

You want to just save locally? Just change a setting buried deep in the menus. But fun surprise, this turns off cloud sync for all files--even ones that were shared to you for review. You have to manually pull updates and push yours. Can you guess what happens next? Overwrite party! Those figures Janet added to the doc just got over written when you synced your edits to a paragraph 4 pages away.

Oh and teams is another variable in the mix with a weird SharePoint backend (I think, who fucking knows anymore). It defaults to opening in a dumb teams WebView which is like the browser view of the stuff but somehow worse than that. You can change it to default to opening in the actual application, but see the syncing issues above(all because you want new docs saved locally and never on fucking one drive)

I'm like a god damned boomer with MS software these days. I hate every second working with it. Its always in the way.

The whole experience is user hostile.

I 100% agree with you. On my windows 11 machine, the forced integration is incredibly frustrating. When I'm on my mac, though, OneDrive and all of the other Microsoft applications actually work almost flawlessly. There is no forced integration, only what I choose to integrate.

Microsoft shoving integration down our throats is awful. Having the ability to integrate when we choose to is fantastic.

There is a reason why I don't use Windows on devices I own.

This. This is the reason.
