@Dashrender That is my point. How do multiple users share folders in OneDrive for example? I realize you can send files or a folder to someone on the free tier but they would still have to create [email protected] account to retrieve the file if they were not already a MS user. Same goes with Google users.
Of course - just like you have to create users in NC - so there's no saving going with NC there.
then, once you have everyone log into their own accounts - that's assuming you even need separate accounts for everyone (can you use just one shared account for all?) - once they are all logged into OD/GD have one person create a folder, share it with read/write privileges for all the people in question - done.
-
@Dashrender I agree with you 100%. Just thinking what would be the most simple for less than average users.
-
MS allows you to use your own email address, whatever it is, as a Microsoft Account - so do that. Then have them log into OD using those new creds, and create a single folder as mentioned above - share it out.. done.

Do you think NC is easier than OD or GD?
Frankly, I've never used the sync client for NC before, so I don't honestly know.

If you are signing in automatically, it's as easy as easy gets. It's just a folder that syncs. You don't need to know that it is NC at all.

The same can be said for OD, and I'm guessing for GD too.

There is a group of about 5 "older" ladies wanting to share a few files and documents. One of them has OneDrive but doesn't know how to use it. One has a Gmail account but doesn't know how to use Google Drive, etc. The others have email through their ISP with no "features". I'm thinking a $5 Vultr NC instance would be simple enough for them and probably be plenty of storage. Am I overthinking this? I don't think there is a simple way to share between multiple users with OneDrive, etc. personal accounts. Seems like there would be an easier way. They need simplicity.
You know with things like this, it's been my experience that you can spend lots of time working out what to do and when you get around to showing the people involved how to use your solution, the consensus is that it's just too complicated.
I usually leave things like this for a week or 2 or 3 and if I get asked again, then I can gauge just how important the requirement is to them. If they don't ask again, then it wasn't important, it was just an interesting idea.

More user archiving and equipment preparation, drinking some coffee as well as checking on the deployment status of some new software.

Updating Cisco AMP connector on Citrix PVS images.

Tried my first cup of Death Wish coffee this morning. It's actually pretty good... If anybody hears a thunking sound in their attic, I am probably trying to float away somewhere... or I died and am now going to haunt you forever... <insert evil cackle here>.

Salt it with some 5 Hour Energy and I think you can read minds.

Ha ha ha... I've seen enough movies with mind readers to know that's not a power that I'd like.... Now give me the ability to move faster than a speeding bullet, that I might could handle.

yeah, I suppose - but really, syncing to a folder inside my documents should make it pretty straightforward for the user.

@WrCombs someone modified that page today, too. And they are using a litespeed server? Weird. Not bad, just rare.
You'll also want to check any caches. Once fixed, the caches might hold on for a while.
I hadn't heard of Litespeed.
lol
i find that hard to believe
I don't manage websites - what's hard to believe.
That they can double the max capacity of the Apache web server.

Dealing with all the people We've been telling they need to upgrade to Windows 10 for the last x months and now all of a sudden it's "Well we need to do this"
-
is there a way to tell if a computer is licensed for Windows 10 (currently Windows 7) via a Command Line.

If they are on your domain then I use powershell or wmi for this. You can get literally all the info about a machine using either of these methods.
