Or just don't use cloud storage bruh

Yeah some people are too inconsiderate of shareholders.

That's why they created recent controversy with ai analysing your whole data, another reason to switch to Linux

exactly! do people expect windows to scan every local file too??!

Good luck troubleshooting problems when an update of Windows breaks something.

Just switch to Linux and call it a day.

Sounds much harder than switching to Linux.

Hmm, in my experience Microsoft 365 on Firefox (Linux) works horrendously.

I'm a Firefox user, but when I need to work on OneDrive or Outlook Web I open Chrome because it works way better. And that's a shame.

Any experience on OneDrive Client for Linux by any chance?

“Yeah but what if someone wants to store their files in Onedrive?”

“Well, Bobby. We ask them politely but firmly to leave.”

Hey, no one is trying to stop you from doing that. I'm sure it is very convenient for you.

My point of view though is that automatically uploading my personal files to some corporation computer on the other side of the world should not be the default when I try to save something. Maybe sometimes I'll want to use that feature, but there are a variety of reasons why I don't want it most of the time. And I definitely don't like having to jump through hoops just to avoid it.

We used to do this with thumb drives. You can get a 128G usb3 thumb drive these days for like 20 bucks in the checkout line of most electronics stores. Cool things about a thumb* drive is I don't need to pay a subscription fee for it, it doesn't need an Internet connection, and it isn't liable to be rifled through by Microsoft unless Bill Gates comes to your house and steals it from you.

And then at some point, games started saving inside documents. Ok, it makes sense to have game save files in a user area instead of a subfolder in the game install area, but they aren't documents. Just make a new game saves folder or something like that, don't just stick all my game save files in the same area, cluttering up my own organization.

Though I did solve it kinda by just making a new documents subfolder in my documents where I put my actual documents.

I unironically do this. There was one update that wiped one guy's Documents/Downloads/Images/Videos. So I made my own and store my things there.

What OS doesn't do that, even linux has xdg dirs

It's not really her fault. Microsoft pushes people to use their onedrive and pay for a subscription even when people have no clue what it is or what it does. Microsoft is just insanely anti-consumer.

I dont blame her tbh. I have onedrive completely disabled on my personal pc, but on my work laptop Windows defaults everything to onedrive and names the onedrive folders identically to your local ones.
