It’s probably propelled by the same management methodology Putin is using. Ass kissing and self congratulation.

- senectus1 5y agoI think its a combination of : Lack of same market competition. Captured audience/customers. Azure/Office365 was genius, its going to keep them in the black for many years to come.

I got a laptop at work with some hundreds of GB of storage. OneDrive was automatically backing everything up (I didn't ask it to). But then I ran out of free storage space on OneDrive, so I couldn't save files properly anymore until I did something about that. They wanted me to pay for more storage. Keep in mind I still had over 100GB free locally. I disabled OneDrive. All my files seemed to disappear. My options were to pay, or find where they were archived and pull them all out and put back where I wanted them (documents, desktop, etc...). It borders on ransomware, except you can get your stuff back if you pay attention and take a little time. Most people don't actually want cloud computing. They do want cloud storage though. What we need is for Western Digital or similar to create a personal cloud storage system that you connect to your own network. (I've got many ideas around this, including backup, sharing, etc).

- artificialLimbs 5y agoYou mean like a NAS? I've had a good experience putting a technologically inept client on a Synology. Their support which was pretty alright as well the couple times I had questions. I wouldn't use that at home though. FreeNAS or Nextcloud on ZFS only, thanks.
