Like most things, you need enough people who know what they're doing and
what 'best practice' is. Suddenly rolling out a new format that breaks
existing workflows (eg I have extremely efficient ways of handling
attachments that I need to do things with, which doesn't understand
Sharepoint) is not the way. In addition, MS software is very
mouse-intensive (most people don't notice this) and I get RSI. Adding
extra layers of dragging and dropping etc literally hurts me;)
If you ever need to move large/many files between people on different
platforms and keep them co-ordinated, I have used Resilio Sync with
quite a few non-techy people successfully. It's like dropbox without the
cloud (or the limits), and with the same danger that if one person makes
a change, it affects everyone. It does have read-only settings though so
if people don't need to be able to edit, but just to copy from/read
files, that's pretty secure. (I think I sent someone here a multi-gig OS
installer that way and it worked, yay).
As ever the advice has to end with don't forget a robust back-up system
like Time Machine that you have good control over! All systems get
glitches...
Cheers,
Jason
