The only thing I'll finish setting up is Nextcloud ❤️
-
Okay, I can play this game.
Opens control panel and uninstalls onedrive
Opens Appdata and Program Files folders and removes leftover onedrive bits
Opens Regedit and wipes out any remnants from thereWonderful. All set up now.
-
Then windows force installs another buggy update that also reinstalls onedrive for your convenience.
-
Fullscreen ad after update:
"HEY HAVE YOU TRIED ONEDRIVE 365 TOTAL PREMIUM FAMILY BUSINESS PLAN?!
("No thanks" is in tiny 2 pt. font at the very bottom right, far from the "YES PLEASE" button, and only highlights after clicking that zone 3 times.)
Oh, I see you turned off Ad Personalization. Silly, that must've been a mistake. We fixed that for you!
...And you're not using Edge...clearly that was a whoopsie. Fixed!"

MAKE SURE YOU OPEN ONEDRIVE AND UNSYNC EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU UNINSTALL IT
OneDrive loves to start moving files into the cloud without asking for permission, and if you remove OneDrive without checking this you may inadvertently delete them from your PC. Ask how I know
-
Use revounistaller next time, it does all that stuff for you
-
Geek Uninstaller as well

Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
-
Always! Please tell me everything! :)

Okay.
He's Finnish

I happily had one note for 8 years. One note 2017. Used it offline. All my notes.
Windows 10 put Microsoft 365 on my computer. Tried to sync a bunch of stuff too OneDrive. I said no. Still it made my desktop on one drive. It kept trying to sync documents. A constant nuisance.
This year I tried to save my taxes to my One Note files. I was told they were erased. I couldn't imagine what was going on. They were on my computer, local and private. But no I would have to log into OneDrive and rebuild them if I wanted to use my files. I could see them. But I couldn't open them, I couldn't save new things, I couldn't do anything, unless I logged into OneDrive.
I uninstalled Windows and installed Linux Mint 22.1. I ain't going back no more.

Every. Single. Update.
Sheesh.
-
And Copilot
-
I suggest uninstalling or not signing in.
-
I seem to be the only one who likes Onedrive
-
I used to think it was decent too before they started moving my files off my PC into the cloud without consent
-
You are. Definitively. The Sole OneDrive Fan.
-
I liked that it was easy to find on sale for like $30 a year, cheap 1tb backup. I'm getting more annoyed with Microsoft in general now though.
-
Yeah, my experience with it is that its...fine. Though I only use it on my work computer. I'm wondering if part of the issue is the home version 'offering' to hoover everything.
-
I fucking love onedrive. I have the family plan so everyone I'm close to gets the 1 terabyte version and it has saved me so much trouble. It has been one of my most reliable tools and I would say one of the best Windows products I have ever used. I can't say I understand the problem with it, there are so many other issues with windows you could be mad about, why pick one of the few good things left about that ecosystem.
