I've found it to be unnecessarily complex, confusing, and tightly coupled with other microsoft products.

I'm a consultant with several assistants. I really just want to sync a ~20gb folder with those assistants. This is easily achievable with dropbox or nextcloud for example, it works exactly as you'd expect.

In onedrive it was always just a muck around. What is sharepoint and how is it related to onedrive? Why do different staff have access to different features in some folders but not others? How can staff create upload requests for clients? How do I avoid being notified about every change a staff member makes?

I always felt as though I needed to have some kind of microsoft certification in order to address this very simple use case.

I'm sure someone will be along in a moment to tell me how easy all of this is and how silly I am for not being able to address it. I don't care. I also think it's fair to point out that this microsoft ecosystem is incredibly powerful and the configuration issues I find frustrating are required for larger more complex organisations.
