OneDrive usurping my folders and data, siphoning it to their servers without my permission (just like a virus) is exactly why I switched to Linux. It’s such a breath of fresh air not feeling like every update is trying to monetize and enshittify my computer more
Honestly OneDrive replacing the local folders is what made me fully switch to Linux
auto-enabling that is, perhaps, the single most annoying thing they've done to windows. like you don't even get a fucking choice when they do it, they just take your data.... which adds 'most frightening thing done' as well.
and onedrive is also configured to cloud-first. you don't even have your files on your hardware unless you go back and access them again (so they're re-downloaded) or reconfigure onedrive to put them all back.
It seriously pissed me off so much. Like how could I possibly trust the OS after that? Literally just like a virus! Windows has pissed me off for a solid decade but that was waaay too far over the line for me to shrug it off yet again
My wife made a giant folder called garbage she shoves stuff that she copied out of Windows to put in OneDrive so it can’t fit her files when it decides to randomly start uploading again.

You know whats cool? Office programs like excel and word have an 'autosave toggle', and you know what it does? "Please log into one drive to enable autosave".
Thats right, you cant have a local autosave, you MUST be saving to one drive.
Cool, thanks, no.

Fuck M$ 365, good old Office 2019.
Also fuck Teams, but that is a whole different story.

Remember ladies and gents. It's not cloud storage it's someone else's computer.
Do I look like I know what a jay peg is?
Also yes this is crazy. I would recommend installing Linux to fix this issue.

I do feel a bit like a Hank Hill when I rant about this or any other newer, unwelcome features. No, Outlook, I don't want you to finish my sentences, you are wrong 100% of the time and I'd rather do it myself gosh dang it.
Switch to Linux, this shit doesn't happen unless you set it up.
Shit doesn't happen to me on Windows. Killed One Drive, done.
Been wondering if the hassle is from pre-installed versions vs. the "got my own ISO" version straight from M$. I get very few of the Windows complaints I see when I wipe it to factory and install vanilla Windows. Which anyone using Windows should do on a new machine.
Recently had to deal with creating a Windows 11 installation for someone else. I used a self-downloaded ISO and Rufus, and it still tried to pull that crap. OneDrive will create a system notification offering to enable it, and it's similar enough to the various annoying Windows onboarding notifications that some people will accidentally click the confirmation thinking it's the dismiss button.

OneDrive and all of M365 is much nicer on Linux. It’s all just webpages that I use when I need them (pretty regularly) but that don’t interfere with anything else going on with my system.
Quick vent. My job introduced OneDrive and cloud shit through Microsoft. Yeah. I still have to tell my computer to save on itself. I'm not using OneDrive.
I hear my coworkers bitch about it all the time. It's not syncing. I can't save or change this or that. I can't find it when I'm trying to open it. Why is this green or yellow? What's up with this check? They always ask me for help because I'm the younger one that knows more about computers. I respond that I don't do cloud shit. I want to know where my info is, but they keep on wanting me to figure it out for them.
I guess cloud computing is my old man yelling at clouds line.
I just disable it on system boot. Company hates that I'm not using OneDrive...
I'll throw crap in SharePoint, but I also won't use that dogshit 'service' either.
I don't want people touching my reports. It's my shit. View only.

Getting OneDrive uninstalled fully is a nightmare. I got rid of it but it was still trying to sync. Like wtfff
Just install Linux at this point.
This seems to be the answer to all tech problems on Lemmy
These aren't "tech related" problems, they are "windows is shit and abusive to the user" problems.
Really it's restraint to only offer it as a solution to tech problems, because install more linux is my solution to all problems.

It was for a client at work, so I couldn't. I don't know how to install Linux, either. I'm going to try once I get a charger for my old laptop. It isn't a big priority though. I've been playing around with my Steamdeck in desktop mode to try to learn some Linux stuff and it's been going okay.

"And for the love of god stop letting programs put their crap here"
"Let's finish setting up windows (by asking you to subscribe to something you don't need!)"
This happened on my work computer and fucked up a lot of software.
OneDrive to rule them all, OneDrive to subscribe them
OneDrive to pester them all and in the darkness sync them
In the land of Microsoft, where the data lies.
Usually when I see the same meme reposted over and over, I start to downvote. But not this one. This one always gets an upvote from me.
I extremely don't want to save on my computer, though.
The problem with OneDrive isn't that it's a cloud service. I willingly use cloud services and other forms of remote storage all the time.
The problem with OneDrive is it doesn't work and MS's response to that is to try to embed it into the OS, rather than fix it. I have paid good money to do what OneDrive is trying to do, just properly.

You want to be in control of your data? Silly human…
