I am curious what your resistance is to OneDrive. Personally, I try to put as much in there as I can as I frequently switch machines that I am working on. I keep my work code in there as well (Git repo and all) and it's convenient when switching between VMs or when needing to wipe my workstation and start fresh.

I encounter many co-workers though who like to do things "the old way" and just email copies of documents around and then spend time merging them back together instead of sending a link to their OneDrive. Just more files for me to juggle on my computer. No thanks.

There are a few reasons, partly because of corporate policy which says no sensitive documents on cloud.

Partly because I need to access stuff offline so prefer to have a local copy. For example if I have to take my laptop travelling with between sites I may not have access to a internet connection.

Your right that a large part is familiarity - we use Sharepoint (which I also hate) to share documents between teams rather than email.
