The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you're forced to work online you're more likely to work in the shared folders. If that's true, we'll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.
See my comment below, we're moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you're forced to work online you're more likely to do so in the shared folder. We'll see if that's true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.
I've used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I'm missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex.
Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great.
In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to 'make files available offline'. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.
I assumed that's best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux "problem" I suppose. Yes, it's possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it's on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it's often community maintained?

Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
