Old Man Rant:
I don't like computers doing things I didn't tell them to do.
Today I get an alert that my one drive is getting full and I am running out of space in the cloud.
Much to my surprise, Windows has happily been replicating my files to a cloud I never asked for.
Naturally, I go to one drive settings, click unlink, and then I uninstall one drive.
Which of course DELETES ALL MY FILES LOCALLY! WTH Microsoft?
Since I got my first 486 in 1989, I have never been anywhere and needed a file while on the go so badly that I wished for a second copy of my computer floating around.
This is what the masses want? A default cloud space where all their crap is sent to a server they don't own in the off chance that they really need those family vacation photos in a pinch.
I don't get it. I get that this might be convenient for a select few that travel for work but really there is enough demand for this that it is the default?
I can remote into my computer from anywhere. I don't need a copy of it somewhere else.
Old Man Rant over.
feel free to let me know if you use and love One Drive and I am missing the point.
Also the whole deleting One drive, deletes the files locally is asinine. If I were wealthy, I wouldn't own a computer.
