Ah, Windows and OneDrive. A match made in hell.
I've despised them ever since I built a Win11 PC, it was enabled without my consent, immediately stopped me from adding any new files to my Desktop+Documents once it ran out of the pitiful 5 free gigabytes, and promptly deleted all of my data from those folders when I deactivated the "feature".
That miserable experience, combined with every third update putting me through a setup that employed dark patterns to try to trick me into turning it back on (not to mention my fears that they'd pull the same crap with Recall), was the main thing that caused me to ditch Windows. I don't like feeling dread every time there's a new update, assholes.
