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.

    While I agree with you, most people don’t understand what cloud is and since Microsoft is pushing users to use OneDrive, general user would just turn it on just to get rid of the window.

      Exactly. I work with the Elderly and it’s been a struggle to a) explain what OneDrive is and b) show the how to locally save because W11 defaults to saving to cloud.

      It’s an absolute mess and I’ve gotten at least 3 people to start using Linux, just a little.
