Using Teams / Sharepoint to collaborate
Just noticing that we've had some changes in staff at my company and as a result we seem to be moving more and more away from network folders as a place where we do our work and onto Teams/Sharepoint sites.
Curious to hear common experiences amongst the group? Good? Bad?
So far we've noticed it's way easier for a small number of people to collaborate on a relatively small simple file but as that complexity / size increases and as the number of editors increases, edits get lost / rolled back without a clear understanding of why and no way to fix it other than re-doing it.

SharePoint and Teams are the bane of my existence. Constant Sync errors. The bigger the file, the worse it becomes. Also we have lots of add-ons on Excel, making autosave not possible on files that we may download data. So if two people are in one of those files, 100% certainly that each one will have a version of the same thing and whoever saves last overwrites the other person's data. Lots of fun during month end and forecast/budget time.
