Announcing a more intuitive sharing experience across Microsoft 365 for better collaboration

Stephen,

Appreciate your responses.  I would like to take a moment to perhaps provide some "insight".  It is critical for Microsoft, their reputation and the value of their products for the product teams to recognize that day to day tasks MUST be 100% bullet proof, not just "sort of" handled.  It is the reason why the products are not taken seriously or lauded.  They are used because of price points not reliability or capability.

1. Being able to view pictures in a gallery isnt a "nice feature request", it is a requirement.  Think about it, if you share images with others, what are they going to do with a file directory, it makes it NOT useable.  Sharing pictures is not a new concept how can the product teams not respect that?  Sometime ago sharing of a directory and knowing it was images was supposed to be live, never happened.

2. Sharing anonymously has existed now for some time, however, it has NEVER been reliable, many times with broken links or requiring logins.

3. When you say it will be possible to limit access to only the "email address" provided, when sharing anonymously that would be impossible without credentials... those types of clarities need to be made.

4. Differential sync, should have existed day 1, do you have any idea of how much data/time has been wasted because it didnt exist and then because it was only partially implemented?

5. R/O when accessing shared documents deals with overwriting data, so even though OD distributes data, having the ability to lock 2nd file makes sense.  Of course MS's answer to this is to allow multiple people to edit documents at the same time.  Of course that makes sense but the option of R/O and R/W should still exist.

6. The ability to scan and add to an existing document using the scan function is an obvious requirement... Not considering it just makes it an R&D project / proof of concept project.

Whether these items are considered important or not, my point is do what people do on a daily basis and do it 110% half measures are just annoying and they get old.  It is why there is no excitement or loyalty... just waiting for another half measure to nowhere!

It's like in this exchange, cant reply to your reply... really?  Have to create a new comment.
