OneDrive doesn't take over directories without being told to. And specifically, it's "Known Folders Move" system, only does Documents, Desktop, and Pictures. If KFM is being turned on without user consent, that is IT's fault. If it is including folders outside those 3? Also IT's fault.

It corrupting git repos? Not sure on that one. It doesn't feel like OneDrive should be doing that, but it does struggle with unusual read/write patterns, so I'm guessing the way git is working doesn't resemble a standard file saving, and Microsoft being full of developers and owning github should probably be accounting for that use case.

My experience with Dropbox suggests to me that any network file sharing systems should not be mixed with git.
