Comment on Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive?
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 11 months agoSharepoint is actually very well made. It has great versatility and extensibility. The issue that you and others run into that leads to the assumption that sharepoint is bad, is that it was deployed by inexperienced or potentially incompetent people. Most of the time it’s just inexperienced people that aren’t given the time to properly train for a deployment and are told to basically wing it because “there’s no money to train you how to do it right” or other bs cheapskate business excuse.

In my company they paid a lot of money for it, like too much. Simply very few people like it. Mainly paper work people.
Because they paid so much for it, they always try to convince people to use it… Currently we are using it as a glorified s3 bucket for PowerPoint presentations to link them on confluence… But there is always someone who tries again to push it, before it’s miserably fails again.
That’s my experience. I am sure someone find it very useful.

See in the case of those people their workflow wasn’t taken into consideration before adoption. It’s definitely not a fit for everyone. But that amount of paper waste is insane. If the docs are already digital, then the signatures and stamps should be digital as well. If the docs are all hardcopies, then sharepoint shouldn’t have been used except as an upload point.
