Apparently it can finally be uninstalled to be fair (god bless the EU) I didn’t realise that, but man does it pester the hell out of you before you do that.

I don’t get people who act like One Drive is a horrible thing. It takes <5 minutes to set it up and select which folders to back up. Since when did backing up important files become a bad thing? OneDrive has saved my butt more than once when a drive failed.

I’ve had like two notifications about it in the past 12 months wtf are people doing

Backblaze is the way to go.

I know, M$ bloatware bad, but as someone who does not have a habit of doing regular backups, OneDrive did save me a lot of trouble when my HP laptop’s matrix crapped the bed and it was sent to repairs.

Ballmer bless “Win-Debloat-Tool”. None of that CoPilot or OneDrive or news stand or any other bullshit.

I love OneDrive for work. Otherwise I don’t hate it for personal use, it’s eliminated the need to use a thumbstick to transfer stuff between my computers.

Don’t have windows 11 yet but my company is swapping systems to a new one that has a similar cloud icon and it definitely feels like this. Today was day 1 of training.

It’s just stupid people can’t setting up Window when installing it.
Windows ask you, where you want store you files and just need to say Local. And done, one drive will not be used.
But still can be used for manual storing important data.
People acting like “independent and smart”, but actually stupid.
Evijahhhh
They give me this and take away my graphics driver. Not a good bargain!

I feel so validated now, I thought I was the only one.

OneDrive is the first thing I remove on a fresh install. I also never sign into anything Microsoft-related so it doesn’t accidentally start backing things up and messing up folder structures and file locations against my will.

I don’t mind OneDrive.
Copilot on the other hand…

I got rid of windows recently on all of my personal machines. I use it at work, but only because I have no other choice. On my own machines I’ve installed Linux. When I had windows, disabled all the analytics and other BS stuff, but it still had plenty of spyware running in the background and I was literally terrified when I’ve run Wireshark and nothing else on pc.
You got some tool from github to disable unwanted telemetry on your system? Guess what? We’ve enabled it back after an update because F U! You’re not the owner of your system you bought! You’re proud user of our sErViCe!!!
I hate microsoft.

I never realised people don’t like OneDrive lol
I use it all the time, works flawlessly on phone and pc. It’s honestly so useful

Is there a way to be banned from OneDrive so you can’t even save there?

I get why people don’t like the popups, but if y’all aren’t backing up your shit to the cloud *and* to other personal devices, then you better be okay with losing that shit.
I shopped around for cloud storage solutions and while I was going to go backblaze for my own use, I also needed to get my parents on it so I just went with one drive. The family plan is reasonable enough, comes with the office suite, 1TB per person, it’s good enough for me tbh. Options like dropbox and google drive just didn’t seem as worth it to me.
But hey if another solution comes along then I’d happily switch.

I don’t want cloud storage, I enjoy building and maintaining a system to locally store my data and back it up! I’m not opposed to it tho, I use it for work! But the more you push cloud storage on me, the more I lose any appreciation for it, WHY is it so important for ME to adopt and embrace cloud storage!
Either you want my money or my data, and your not getting either.
