I know I'm preaching to a big choir complaining about the baffling anti-user design of many parts of #Office365 and #OneDrive but fucking....
I want a link to my file. I'm going to put it in a Word document right next to the file. I right-click on the file name in the OneDrive file browser and, hey! There's a "copy link" item. I click that and alt-tab back to my document...
No. Nothing happened. Back in the file browser there is now a popup with the link and a highlighted box saying "copy." I want to stab a computer. Not my computer; a computer in Redmond, Washington.
Extra clicks to do super basic things. After 50 of those it's mind-numbing. I realize the "copy" button is big and highlighted after I right-click "copy link." Hey! This seems like one of those intuitive UI things! So I right-click, wait the (annoying) few seconds for the dialog to pop up and hit [enter].
GUESS WHAT DOES NOT FUCKING HAPPEN.
The dialogue box goes away and there is nothing on the clipboard.
Oh, and while we're here, let's say I want to organize my list of 50 or so files in a OneDrive folder alphabetically by name. I'm pretty sure sort algorithms are taught in intro CS classes. There's a "Name" sort column. Nice! It doesn't sort, yet; it brings up a secondary dialogue asking about ascending vs descending. Grrrr. Ulcer getting worse. I click Ascending.
GUESS WHAT DOES NOT FUCKING HAPPEN.
