The whole thing is a cobbled together bodge over SharePoint as a backend. I wouldn't ever trust my company data with that dogwater product.
Back when I had to work with it I found a bug that could cause folders to become un-synced without you realising, meaning changes would not be tracked and cause merge-conflicts when it was fixed.
Managed to use our Gold partner tickets to raise the issue with the product team, they flat out refused to fix the issue even knowing it was a bug. This was back in 2020 or so, I wonder if they ever fixed that bug. It's pretty simple to reproduce:
1. - Sync a nested subfolder from Sharepoint
2. - Sync the parent folder
3. - Note that the folder synced in 1. is not longer being tracked (no checkmark)
4. - Normal users will now go to folder 1. by default and have no idea none of their changes are no longer being tracked now that it's being synced within folder 2.
The university I attend uses SharePoint, classroom and moodle for various courses.
SharePoint is by far the worst piece of software I've ever used. Like, there's no mental model to be done, not intuitive, not working, files disappear from time to time, and I could go on for hours
Moodle is also pretty garbage-y if I may say so.
I'd say its ui is not that great and it is not intuitive when searching courses, but at least it... Works? I mean, using SharePoint might require me to reload the page more than once because I literally don't see the files sometimes
Isn't sharepoint itself a cobbled together on top of Microsoft Exchange mailboxes?
Plus some WebDAV hacks via the MS Frontpage HTML editor! Truly great software engineering and design.
Don't forget the worst SQL Server database I have ever seen. Single threaded hacks all throughout because it so shitty it can't deal with parallel queries.
So it's MS products all the way down.
Somehow finding the Frontpage HTML editors down at the bottom makes it feel slightly better. At least it bring a fond memory while navigating our corporate Sharepoint horrorfest.
