I got a new laptop at work and everything, every file I worked in, was creating a second copy of itself on OneDrive. It was so annoying and took awhile but I found instructions on deleting the duplicates.

It took all the files off my local machine and left the ones on OneDrive.

Aaaargh!

Let be honest here, a majority of users have their mobile devices backup automatically. They will see this in the same way....

Just that I don't have anything worthwhile on my phone. All the important stuff is on PCs. All the stuff that is professional, that is covered by NDAs, all the banking. And just because Microsoft has ever been shitty and is now going extra-shitty, it is not a Windows PC.

Just wait until some Microsoft digital parrot AKA artificial "intelligence" spouts some companies internal data that it had gobbled up somewhere from the companies internal network...

Same here. I don't have anything important, and my contacts are in a vcf file whenever I need it.

take ownership then deny everyone. if folder is deleted it will reappear

I wouldn't trust OneDrive with any kind of data. Windows 11 is garbage. Waiting for Windows 12.

And yet people will just shrug it off and keep using windows. And Microsoft loves that.
