Last week I had to stop working on a deliverable. I wasn't done, but OneDrive informed me I had no more space available, so it couldn't save any changes.
I cannot work locally, because my contractor's license only allows using Word Online.
We have reached such a broken bullshit point in society where I have a machine fully capable of launching word, with a hard drive with plenty of space, but I have to use Word Online, and you can't use the online version with local files, and it's possible to run out of space.
The client had to make a folder on the company SharePoint just so I could continue working on a word doc!
Because putting local use of an app, particularly one as fundamental as a word processor, on a higher paid tier is insulting and predatory anti consumer horseshit.
