Just had to use google drive to transfer a file that was supposed to be on my onedrive

So onedrive on one of my computers (surface pro 1) was having a shit while I waited for it to sync a file that I wanted on another computer (windows 10 desktop). It wasn't a big file, so no reason to go digging around looking for a usb, ill just sync it and pull it back down on the otherside.

Nope, that would be to simple.
Fuck me.

So I go through the good ol' troubleshooting process, to discover that the onedrive metro app, like most metro apps, is happy to tell me that there's been a problem, but is terrified to give me the access and information that I need to fix the fucking problem. Because it assumes I want a sleek 'idiot friendly' experience it tells me 'there has been an issue syncing' and that I'll need to go somewhere else to fix the problem. Also apparantly files from 12 months ago are still in the queue to sync up. I'm certain I've synced files since then but apparantly those files I haven't touched in a year are still having issues somewhere in the pipeline.

Fuck off.

I opened google drive on computer 1.
I dragged the file from my onedrive folder into the browser.
I opened google drive on computer 2.
I dragged the file from google drive back into my one drive folder.
Fucking technology.
And fucking designed for the dumb! (not dump)
