Don't misunderstand the Office365 status. Today we have over 500 *million* mailboxes under management. The reporting engine is overly honest - most people don't see the effect.

 

OD4B is being replace with a new sync client, public beta is due shortly. If you've no issues....I'm astonished. Current product is beyond terrible.

Ah ok, but the backend is staying the same?

Yep, been fine for me for a few months. Had problems initially but ok now.

Waylander, if you're annoyed by slow transfer, you should consider researching private clouds, such as Sher.ly or WD solutions - they offer great file security, fast transfer speeds and various smart sync options. You will have to shell out a tad more than you would for a standard cloud storage, but you get a device you can use for streaming movies and various other purposes.

Ahah! Hello, I wonder who you work for?

You can actually get private MPLS connections to Office365 now should you need the scale.

Is there any difference regarding where / how the data is stored if you go for MPLS to O365? Reason I ask is I work for a large global company who are German, and they don't want to embrace the cloud atm, but for our locations in developing countries especially, office 365 would make so much sense...

Back blaze. 50 quid a year, unlimited storage. Set up PCs to sync to one central location that way you only need one license.

^

Yep, agreed entirely.

Now I almost daren't ask this for fear of NNMM's wrath.

But - if I'm backing everything up to the home server, and Backblaze only supports Win or osx, not nas or server oses, how do I get my stuff from my proliant up to the cloud?

Mac makes a good point - OneDrive for Business is Sharepoint in effect and they even use the Sharepoint logo in various places and in the settings.

 

I've just logged in to look at some of the settings and spotted something I'd not noticed before - Sway.  What is that all about?  Presentation related in some way but I can't be bothered to look in detail at the moment.

 

Oh and the Exchange service is showing as "degraded".  Sort it out.  :roflmao:

 

 

Check out Delve too. A brilliant way to expose rubbish security settings. Hey, you've something about salaries! Mary from HR has also shared THIS DOCUMENT about salaries, maybe have a look see here?

 

*boom*.

Oddly enough I spotted Delve a few days ago after I'd fitted a new SSD and had to do a fresh installation of everything.

 

MS were pushing it out on the Office365 login page in a big way.  I wondered what it was and haven't looked properly yet.

Okay gents we never got to this; now PC and server are both up.

I need to actually set up my data shares on the server

 

Currently I have a 2tb external drive connected to the PC via USB3; I was thinking of instead connected it to the server and using it to backup the instance of data on there

BUT if it is the instance on the USB drive that I want to back up to the cloud how to I go about doing that - do I have to leave it connected directly to the PC for this?
