    What made me stop using onedrive was when they put that giant “start backup” button in Windows explorer.

      This whole situation is kind of sad. OneDrive is pretty good as a synced file system for Windows machines. It really does just sort of “work”.

      I wish they’d left it alone.

          Maybe a stupid question: How do they make money of private files being hosted on their server?

            There are paid options I guess?

            It also ties all the “365” applications together locking out the competition.

            Also for training AI possibly.

            Edit: for the crap questions I guess it’s information to hone in on “better/higher” prices.

            Data is the new oil. Any number of things they can do with your data so they want it, bad.

        It really does just sort of “work”.

        “Sorry, there was a problem. (Error code 0x0000fkn69)”

        Nothing Microsoft makes ever works.
