Or they could just fix the hot mess file permissions and sharing settings are. Fucking stupid that there are 3 different ways to turn on sharing.

Wasn’t Matter or a similar organization developing an open standard for this sort of thing?

There was a time when Foldershare enabled you to share folders across the internet without any Microsoft services.

Then they bought it and killed it.
