Amazon Workdocs End of Life

I’ve used WorkDocs, I was excited about having something we could run in AWS, that could be backed up, to avoid other islands of data.

We tried to roll it out to the employees and they revolted, they claimed it was too complicated to use and preferred to use Google Drive and Drop Box. It was just too cumbersome to use in comparison to the alternatives.

I suspected that the writing was on the wall when AWS decided against coming out a native version for Mac with M1 processors.

I hope someone at AWS or an open source project makes a better attempt next time.

Amazon should have just bought out Zoho instead keeping this rather basic and user hostile application around for all these years.

It’s truly terrible, this is the right thing.
