Uhh, no. There are collaborative tools in Office that are used by the sorts of people who don’t know what LibreOffice is. There’s also certain internal policies that tend to classify information in ways that work with Office.
I know. But I do not see how those would keep the knowledgeable people from working in LibreOffice and saving their documents in OOXML.
If an organization relies on “classifying information in ways that work with Office”, the IT security probably has no idea what they are doing.
Because they’re not strictly “your” documents. You have to share them with co-workers.
Yes? And what would prevent the sharing here?
That it’s all cloud based. None of it is stored locally.
Remember what I said about security around documents? Part of that is that docs are never on local machines. Yes, there are other issues with cloud storage, but nobody gets fired for doing it.
They are though. Yeah, it’s hidden from the user, and also there are multiple ways to achieve exactly that using Libre
And if you subvert that, you’re subverting IT security policy. Doesn’t matter if you think it’s a good idea or not.
So you are not using office, you are using a web application that gives you a “window” into microshit 365. Then of course you wouldn’t be able to do anything with LibreOffice but I guarantee you your IT is just one exploit away from an expensive nightmare. I would quit such a job right away if I had an option not to starve.
