DO NOT ENABLE ONE DRIVE
Do not use Windows. That easy.
It took me two days to gut OneDrive out of my laptop when I bought it.
OneDrive is the devil. It symlinks the file structure on Windows and then moves all your photos and such into their chosen directory. If you uninstall it, it makes a half-hearted attempt to move them back, maybe, but will just do a random subset and give up.
After removal, you have to edit registry keys (obscure ones) to break Windows' connection to onedrive\pictures and such, or you end up with two pictures folders in your home dir.
So much more fail I can't even remember right now.
Another brick in the wall
i had the same thing a while back. i thought i disabled onedrive from running on my machine, went to delete some onedrive files because i was "running out of space", and deleted all the user files on my system
cloud storage is not a backup. This should be engraved on all computers.
one drive is not even "storage" really - it's more of a embryonic car crash waiting for an unwitting pedestrian to step in front.
If for whatever reason any masochists are using onedrive, tthey really need to know about proper backup .
It happened to me once, disabled cloud backup on my documents folder, and onedrive decided if it can't have my folder, no one can
I did get my data back, since onedrive kept it in the rubbish bin or somewhere like that
After that i nuked onedrive from my laptop, and now i use arch btw
I love that last line haha
Did you delete my files bro?
I use onedrive and I still hate this shit.
I thought OneDrive was a Windows thing. What's it doing on Linux?
Where did I say it was on Linux? For the record, they do have a Mac client so they might have a Linux one too.
I think it was assumed based on your use of command line and unix-like paths such as ~/Desktop
, which do not work in Windows Command Prompt. (Powershell has aliases for unix commands like ls
, so unix paths do work there)
It's just easier to type like that lol. That syntax works in Git for Windows.
