am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?
We’ve been played for absolute fools.
sounds like the SharePoint one of my previous employers used. Now, SharePoint supports folders! but, using it through Teams, like everyone did, with tens of thousands of files haphazardly vomited onto it randomly, meant that Teams literally can't load the file list fast enough. So, again all information goes there to die.
It was not nice.
