Yes, we used Microsoft's solution for our master's thesis.

We had to constantly clear cookies, restart the computer, delete our local OneDrive copies and do other quirky work-arounds to be able to do anything. Not to mention the constant crashing and general bugs that plagued the process.
As an example: during the final reading of the paper (a three hour session), I had restarted my computer 8 times and created about 15 local copies of the word document "just in case".
I have heard similar horror stories from other students as well.
It is genuinely shocking to me that Microsoft is getting away with this horrendous performance.
