Cloud-based presentation users struggle with editing and automation
People relying on browser-based or free office tools hit limits when editing PowerPoint files, moving decks into Google Slides, or automating slide creation and changes. The evidence points to related presentation-workflow gaps, though it does not establish how many users share them or whether one tool would cover every use case.
For employees and office-software users relying on browser-based presentations. Mentioned from Jun 2024 to Aug 2025 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

I hate using the browser version of PowerPoint so much I hate how half the time I'm fighting against the severe limitations of that platform and no I can't just "use the app" because my company is a cheapskate and I don't have an app license
Is there a way to convert them on import to Google Drive? Or to convert them in bulk after import?
