Microsoft Can’t Stop Being Annoying About OneDrive | They make you take a survey every time you close OneDrive on your device.::They make you take a survey every time you close OneDrive on your device.
Linux is waiting for you.
It’s the first app I uninstall in a new windows install
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.
I feel bad for saying this but I pay for onedrive because it was the best way to make a synchronised library of ebooks that I can use offline in my tablet.
Yes every other cloud storage solution was more expensive or outright didn’t support it for some god forsaken reason. Some needed you to manually press a download button. Google Drive needs you to manually set every file to available offline and even then it won’t work all the time.
You can use syncthing and not have to rely on cloud storage or pay for anything. I use it to keep my ebook library synchronized across devices and it does the job.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely take a look at it and hopefully I’ll be able to drop onedrive if it all works out :)
I pay for OneDrive partly for the offline folders option, after I found that Google Drive didn’t always keep files marked to use offline on my phone.
But recently I tried to view a file in an “offline” folder and it had to download it. I confirmed this in airplane mode with another.
Interesting 🤔 I didn’t expect this to be reason. Like I have it and 99% not use it, well I have some stuff synced there but… like is nice if have to restore something but I never use that…
I mainly have it because is included with the Office stuff. Well actually I have an Excel file in there that I have some numbers of my accounts status but it could have been on Google Spreadsheets…
And then they start scanning your files, for your safety and “the children”. Find something they don’t like. Might even be perfectly legal, and close your account. Because AI…
Puff, gone are your files and you have zero way to appeal.
There is NO cloud… only someone else’s computer…
I also use one onedrive for cloud sync even though I haven’t touched windows in a while now. but rclone works great on it. 1tb onedrive comes with my business email subscription
This is typical of Windows. They been much do anything they want to on your PC. This is why I usedlinux and have not looked back.
I can’t imagine anybody does something else than click randomly, just to make it go away LOL
i like to not have things like this
I am just going to kill it with task manager at this point
You can actually uninstall it.
I don’t get this prompt at all on any device. Sometimes I think these articles are just rage bait for Linux fanboys
