Please tell me why the fuck does one drive try to backup my desktop brooo

I have a OneDrive subscription and I’ve turned PC syncing off because it’s so fucking annoying like I just organized my desktop and then a new update comes around and turns on syncing and literally my whole desktop is cluttered (as well as my documents and photos folder). OneDrive is great for storing files but absolutely disgusting to have on your PC

And that is the reason you do not put ANYTHING important into the user-file-structure like videos music documents or so as long as you can avoid it.
Make a plain folder named backup on your 2 tb hdd and squeze the sweet cheese to that place.
One Drive can not sync something at which it can not get its grubby little stinkfingers.

We should all fill our OneDrive with gibberish and AI Poisoned images

At least you have shortcuts to remember the file name.

There’s a “workaround” to create a new Documents folder and re-route the alias used by “My Documents” so everything goes in there instead, but it involves messing around in regedit, so it’s obviously something Micro$oft doesn’t want people to know about.
