@JohnPhilpin My students tend to link to files stored in the cloud instead of attaching those files to their emails, and it confuses me some. Someone on Mastodon said this might be a function of Microsoft moving folks in that direction.
@spgreenhalgh aahh yes … another development is that the email gateways keep stripping attachments .. so a link is ‘safer’ .. in apple land also if your file is over a certain size, Apple will ask to store it in the cloud rather than send as an attachment.
That all said … another thought … let’s say that your student has to have a submission sent to you by midnight on Friday .. an email is sent within the time .. linked to a doc … and then over the weekend they continue working and developing the thesis .. quietly replacing the file in the cloud with the new one … sorry.. I’m a suspicious S.O.B.
