We use windows at work, which is annoying as a software developer, and I WFH three days a week. I need some files available on both machines and cloud is the best option. I’m not about to be taking a flash drive between home and work.

Don't you use git?

We use it on Azure, but I don’t always want some files in version control. I might just want things for myself to share across both machines.

Plus I really don’t care what Microsoft is or isn’t tracking on my work machines. If my company is satisfied with us using everything Microsoft then who am I to complain.

For reference on what we use of Microsoft:

Azure for Git, BlobStorage, hosting, database storage, etc
Office Suite - never imagined I would work so much on excel as a dev, but every project so far has required reading from or writing to excel.
Visual Studio Professional
C# .net and entity framework
Typescript mainly with React
Teams
One drive
CoPilot integration in Visual Studio Professional, which saves countless hours in writing code, as it learns your standards. It’s like Intellisense on steroids.
SQL Server Management Studio

There’s probably more that I can’t think of right now. We have an honourable mention of GraphQL as a wrapper for our API.
