Re: All companies suddenly switch to offline mode

Working at a university pre sharepoint as a linux user was simple. Open the odd document on a Libre office or via a VDI. Now everything is a bunch of sharepoint links that half work. Office 365 opens in your browser and half work, then fails to save. If you download the file and email it back everyone is now confused by a file rather than a sharepoint link. OneDrive web interface is insane.

The issue is not whether OneDrive sucks. It is that Microsoft have an incentive to use one monopoly to prop up another.
