OpenAI attempted to explain how ChatGPT Work handles data across different platforms: cloud-based work syncs between web and mobile, while desktop work can access local files with permission, but conversations don't automatically appear across platforms. The company acknowledged this explanation was unsuccessful, suggesting the feature's data handling and synchronization behavior was confusing to users.
