Issues with Office 365 and OneDrive online cloud storage  

So, after long thought I have opted OneDrive as my preferred online cloud storage platform. I was excited by opting for OneDrive as preferred online cloud storage for two reasons, one for exclusive access to office applications and other was large online cloud storage choice. However, after using it for past couple of months following are the few constraints that I encountered while using it. 
  • Cloud Storage with no option to device backup: Even though OneDrive offers large storage plan, it does not provide option to backup entire mobile device or entire system in MAC devices. Additionally, OneDrive does not allow users to select specific folders or files in MAC operating system. 
  • Office files Locking and collaboration: OneDrive cloud storage also offers exclusive access to office suite of applications and enables users to share license with 6 users. However, the office suite of apps does not allow users to lock and collaborate the office files. 
Hope Microsoft addresses above issues at the earliest, so users have the option to select their desired files/folders to synchronize with online cloud and allows users to lock confidential files and collaborate with assigned users with password protection.

Reasons for thinking to switch from current job

After a long time, I was feeling the need to switch job from my current company and wanted to detail out the reasons for the decision. Here are my driving factors forcing me to look out for job switch. 
  • Irritating manager: my manager is of the craziest guy I have ever worked with, and it was the major reason that was driving me to think about the job switch. Out of various things I hate about my manager, below are few of those things. 
    • Micromanaging work assigned without independence. 
    • No proper focus or thinking before work was assigned to the team members. 
    • Often had to re-work on activities assigned due to confused state of my manager. 
    • Often acts silly and childish, for unnecessary work from on-site team. 
  • Financial stability: My company has given only marginal hike and the recent promotional hike was not Saturday and not up to industry standards. As I have got my promotion recently, the next promotion will take exceptionally long time and the hikes will be moderate in the upcoming years.

Reasons for getting battery from unrated seller 

My MacBook Pro battery was died, I decided to get new battery for my machine and to my bad luck Apple had stopped manufacturing older MacBook Pro batteries. With no options left for alternative OEM battery, I decided to get third party manufactured battery available in common online shopping sites. After my research in all leading online shopping sites, I was left with three options: good, rated battery with expensive price tag, low priced poorly rated battery and the final option was unrated battery with affordable price tag. Confused with all these options from online shopping sites, in decided to bet my money with unrated battery listing and placed order for the same. I went ahead with this option for following reasons
  • The seller was new to the online shopping and to gain trust among users, the seller would send only quality product. 
  • Since the battery was not rated by any users, the seller would ensure only quality product is delivered. 
  • If at all battery was poor, I can return the product or raise concern with the shopping site for resolution and they would refund the amount with no questions asked due to unrated seller policies. 
  • I can use the battery ability to the core to check whether the battery performs as detailed and can return the product before the return window is closed. 

To know how the battery performed, please feel free to check out the blog posts listed on “G R Team Sites.”
