I have to use OneDrive for work. It has actually made my job a lot easier, because when we encounter a bug I can't figure out I can just say, "It's probably OneDrive".

My place switched their backup service for OneDrive, and I lost everything twice.

That OneDrive is so bad, they ought to call it TwoDrive.

Microsoft is lucky my dad clicks "OK" without understanding it, or their whole consumer base would be dead.

Seriously. At least half of their userbase is old white guys who just click yes, and Ok once a year wheh they do something tax related, and if they get asked for credit card info it doesn't phase them

MS cares little for the consumer base. All the money is in corporate.

According to Pargin, turning off the feature can result in local files being deleted, leaving behind only a desktop icon labeled "Where are my files?"

OneDrive = ransomware confirmed!

When I was a Sysadmin, I spent a lot of time unfucking people's Onedrives and that windows file backup bs. Basically any pc without managed policies with do this to their boomer or older operator.

Felt this in my soul. It’s the perfect example of an app being "optimized" for corporate metrics
