Last semester I made the mistake of using the onedrive app instead of the web version and I got so annoyed by it i ended up reinstalling windows to get rid of it totally

I did a fresh install on my moms notebook coz it was slow af, only for onedrive to re-install all the crap afterwards.

Only for documents and pictures, everything that goes on there also has been backed up to an external drive. Somehow haven’t had any issues with it apart from the one time I cloned a repository onto it
Critical-Blinker
Hell no, it’s slow, won’t sync worth shit. NAS and copies on external drives stored offsite.
Mikel_mech
I only synchronize one specific folder with one drive. For some documents. Reminder: Never Synchronize your Documents folder!
RIBZisDEAD
No because it tries to save all my games there
VanillaLemonDreams
I used to.
I stopped recently because it synced my Documents, Downloads, & games folders 🙁 now it’s messed up
Hooligans_
Yup! After I had a NVME m.2 fail on me, OneDrive saved all my saved games.
Prince_Nrvl
No i use my own drive
O_to_the_o
I’d rather have no backup than a OneDrive backup

only for university stuff, don’t want to lose my projects
silverbullet52
Nope. I don’t trust Microsoft enough for that. Synch turned off.
My backups are on external drives kept in my basement fire safe.
I keep a few things on Google Drive so I can get at them with my phone, but that isn’t synched either.

Yes but only on a specific folder and for more important documents that I might need access on multiple devices and on the go. On laptops I disable the option to keep the files locally. On my desktop with more space I enable the option.
For mobile media like photos and videos I use syncthing with versioning that can sync to a folder on my desktop over local WiFi. Used a nas once but can’t justify leaving it on all the time given how little I use it now.
These 2 folders are periodically synced to an external hdd.

What’s sad is windows has a user option for kiosks now and still does shit like this. Like they know it’s a kiosk/bilboard … and still has pop ups.

Is that Las Toscas shopping in Canning, Buenos Aires, Argentina? i used to work in one of the scaperooms in Plaza Canning

I’m not a huge fan.
I was into it when they offered a reasonable amount of storage, but when they cut it back to 5gb and started hounding me to sign up i stopped using it entirely.
I understand having paid tiers, but don’t give me something then take it away. Even Google Drive gives 15gb, although that comes with its own problems.
I hate how integrated it is with windows.

I have officaly not sinced one drive on my PC only thing I stored there is my wallpaper collection whivch I have also stored in a pen drive
mbspark77
Definitely not…I have ample room for backups (close to 20TB) and don’t trust external sources
CopybookSpoon67
No, I only save some stuff I always need when I install a new PC.
I have a few Windows Pro licenses over my Microsoft account, so I connect to MS Services anyway.
HWinfo, Furmark, Crystaldiskinfo and cinebench for example.
HaroldF155
Not really as backups, I use it for office documents so I can access them and sync progress on multiple devices.

I use it for school since I get 5TB for free. I don’t use it for personal stuff.

OneDrive should capitalize on the Terry meme. BackUp Terry! Back Up! Terry!
hampopkin
No.
No-Statement-7372
Yes, but I also have a Backup of my OneDrive.
It doesn’t sync the default folders. It has its own little corner on my drive where it gets feed the files I want to backup or want to have access on multiple devices.
Taliseian
Not only no, but fuck no.
I have a NAS and I do backups to it
SendMe_SmallBoobs
At home? No. At work it’s required.
larsloveslegos
Fuck that piece of shit
Huge_Aerie2435
It is annoying, because is always wanting to update, but I never want to update it.
Heap_Good_Firewater
Google drive and a NAS.

Backups are backups. 3-2-1 rule. OneDrive is only one part of the 3.

Yes i do. Dunno why people hate it. Backs up documents and picture when i reinstall Windows.
redditineer55
What really pisses me off about one drive js that you cant sync folders outside of the one drive folder you need to have them in it else it moves them there. That is beyond dumb. Some programs dont allow for the project files to be moved.

One of the first things I do when installing Windows on anything, is remove OneDrive. It has only ever caused me problems.
NerY_05
Yea
I have the free 1tb (“free”, my mother has office 365 for work and it gives to six members of the family a free tb) and i use it every time, it’s so useful imo. Also i have an automatic backup from all of the picture folders in my phone so i’m never worried about anything.
