Is hosting a git repository on a Windows network share a terrible idea? (latte.isnot.coffee)

I just joined a new team (very small: four developers in total, with two of those leaving soon). The two original developers set up the git repo on a folder in a Windows network share.

Am I taking crazy pills, or is that a bad idea? Our organization does have github/gitlab/bitbucket available, so is there any good reason not to use those hosted solutions?

my team had issues when IT accidentally changed permissions on the files inside a bare git repo located on a file-share. Otherwise it works okay as people clone and work locally. Not the best solution but we're working around restrictions that makes this the easiest thing to do
