I don’t know if it’s the platforms, the users, or both, but it just annoys the ever loving crap out of me that cloud storage is basically used like a digital junk drawer.

There’s this article about how Gen-Z doesn’t apparently understand how filesystems work which kind-of, maybe, explains things a bit. Again, I blame tech for that.

Even with search, I can’t find half or more of the files co-workers swear are in there.

And I know they know how to put things into folders. We were using an on-prem fileserver until 4 years ago, and they filed things just fine. Now files just go into a “bucket” and they expect you to rummage through it to find what you need.

    Honestly, after being 4 years into Google Drive replacing our on-prem file server, I’d rather have no cloud and a file server behind our VPN. It’s just an ongoing disaster.
