When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft’s cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.

      Maybe, I just don’t like “And as long as you have things set up properly and you know how things work then this really isn’t an issue” - you can set things up correctly and then it still screws up. Everything works perfectly until it doesn’t.

      Oh I fully agree out of all of these options one drive is definitely the worst of them. And I’ve seen many many files lost through one drive because it’s really difficult to configure it correctly and most the time it’s fucked up because Microsoft continually changes what you can and can’t do with it and how it updates and how it doesn’t update and now with the latest change and the forcing of users to utilize it it’s becoming even worse.
