I've not seen any of those use folders, what do they do with folders when you send someone a link?
They look at all the awesome files inside the folder.
For example:

It opens straight into his onedrive folder and we can view the files or download them if we want.

Yes, I opened it. It's a web page with links to the individual files. Seems like ODfB could do that too if they wanted, but I wonder if there is something under the hood causing an issue with generating web pages for the collection.

Google Drive does that same thing.
I mean, everything BUT ODfB does it that I use.
I Googled around a bit, there were a lot of SW threads like ... where the heck is the folder sharing?!?!?!
-
Maybe I'll start a thread on this, but how would YOU share a group of files?
Mind you, they might not all be at one place at any given time at the time I want to share them. So, no ability to ZIP them all up at once. Like, I might have thrown stuff into a folder here and there, and then decided to share all that stuff.
OR, perhaps I want a client to be able to browse a list of reports we have done for them. Not just look at a ZIP file.
So, perhaps there is a better way of doing this than I've been thinking.
-
I would dump them into a password protected ownCloud folder and share the link and password with you.

Trying to figure out why in the world ODfB doesn't let you share a folder out publicly.
Do you have it set up to allow external sharing?
-
Yeah, everything works as expected except for folders.

My wife has gotten her tablet stuck on "read everything to me" mode. it is hilarious. She can't turn it off. She is sitting here with the silly tablet saying "slider... slider", "Display brightness", "navigate up, settings, display" over and over and over. She is ready to throw the thing across the patio.

Can she factory reset it?
Depending on the tablet the home button and power until it restarts is often the default.

She eventually figured it out.

So I think I've found a good groove. Only been two days, but great so far. Our campus has a couple locker rooms with showers. So I just lift in the morning before I get here. Come here and take a shower, and then just walk upstairs to my desk.

One of my users got their phone stuck on that mode... it takes a little bit to figure out how to operate it in that mode to get in and turn it off.

It's a metal kind of morning over here..... got Gojira blasting right now, getting the morning reports collected, then I'm outta here at 1. Yay Friday.

Dinner time here.

nearly home time for the weekend!! Can't wait, it's been a long week (and eventful too) and I cant wait to relax and chill (and hopefully the headaches will go away)

AC Compressor went out for the area my office is in... its getting warm...

Spent over an hour on the phone trying to explain to an "IT director" the difference between a router and a switch... and then about 15 minutes later he emailed, asking if it was ok for him to plug his incoming fiber connection into a switch on his network.
