omg fr. Literally 2 days ago I had to Google an issue and fix it because APPARENTLY OneDrive wanted to randomly store some terraria files and would cause the game to crash anytime you try to load a game. That's bad enough as is but the game would say "Error regarding exit point in floating point variable" or some other jargon like that, I don't really remember it. And thus began my 45 minute journey to figure out what's causing it.

Trying to play a simple game with my brother during a stressful time in our lives and dealing with his computer pulling random bs was so annoying. I miss when you could just plug in another controller :(

For a sec i read "her cat" as "her clit"

Actually, OneDrive works great on Mac.

Or it did in 2021 when I finished school. I stopped using it when my tuition stopped paying for it.

No annoying pop-ups on Mac OS, just a folder that would sync automatically. I could drop school work through the browser and it would be on my drive by the time I got home.

The part that bothers me the most about OneDrive is that it redirects the users Documents/Downloads/etc folders to its own entirely breaking stuff (and making it painfully difficult to find where files went because either it's in Documents or Documents which are entirely different directories on the hard drive of course. This is particularly agregious given Microsoft already has a really well-made shadowcopy/file history solution which lets you restore files or grab old versions of files straight from the right-click menu. So if OneDrive was simply an optional filehistory endpoint it would be far less reviled. Instead they do this ass backwards redirect that kinda works but makes a mess of things once software not made by companies named Microsoft enters the picture.

The only people not on the meme are the IT procurement people at my work

share point, one drive, dynamics, office 365, teams.

They're all ganged up with their swords pointed at me just trying to do some work.

Together they've managed unseated oracle as the arch nematode, even thogh none of them actually do anything that i need - apart from maybe filing cabinet.

Meh. I like onedrive. I use it all the time.

This meme was just making the rounds on Lemmy like a week ago

well, it seems good for hosting "games at a 100% discount" at least, a few sites use it for that purpose

I think OneDrive is just fine.

I primarily use it for my Windows PCs, I have it installed on my Macs. Rarely need anything in there from Linux, but it’s nice to be able to pop in from a browser and grab something.

I work in an IT Support role for a lot of users, and I think that OneDrive is the ideal backup for the average Windows user / basic consumer. It covers the folders that most people care about, offers versioning of files, and even ensures that I’m not needed when they transition to a new device even if their previous device does not turn on anymore.

You had me at Microsoft.

Teams is worse!

One drive legitimately breaks windows, well not usually but only because developers are smart enough not to use it, ~~the~~ A problem with One Drive is that Windows in there infinite wisdom has decided to put default folders directly into One Drive: Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc, if a developer was to actually use these folders the auto saves, restores and virtual files stored online would absolutely break what ever is stored in there, now this might sound obvious and of course they are only for the end user developers shouldn’t touch it, but that hasn’t always been true, it wasn’t that long ago when the documents folder was used heavily for saves , but more importantly if the user tries to backup other files that contain programs you know those things that are a hassle to reinstall, then they will break programs.

I guess Microsoft hates OneDrive too

OneDrive does exist on macOS.
