Note that while the default download is for the stable version (1.4), 1.5 alpha (which adds a lot of features) has been available since 2021 and very stable in my experience.
The new Microsoft 365 stuff is so shiny, but the poor integration with traditional SMB shares is incredibly frustrating. We now have two split areas of documents: SMB and “The Cloud”. Nothing they offer for SharePoint/OneDrive Business/Azure gives proper integration between old and new.
Even worse, the new documents are often silo’d into specific user’s personal OneDrive which is basically undiscoverable by default. The old workflow of choosing a place to save the document early kept documents visible and rapidly shared. Now someone could be drafting a document for days before others even see it. Or they could forget to ever move it from their personal space to a team/shared space.
sigh
I’m thinking I’ll code a simple tool that creates hyperlinks to SharePoint in SMB.
