    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?

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

            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.

        It really does just sort of “work”.

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

        Nothing Microsoft makes ever works.
