Some of us use documents that should not just end up 'in the cloud' for various reasons including legal, regulatory or just 'I don't want Redmont to have copies of my kids pictures'. It does not even have to be that they do something bad to it. It is merely that the act of taking it without user permission is a major violation of trust.
- dan-robertson 2y agoI definitely see why businesses might be hesitant about such a feature (obviously they could also read whatever onedrive-related contract they have with Microsoft and make an informed decision). I mostly think users don’t really think of this as some stark distinction, though perhaps they should. I still think the real risk of expensive (in the general sense) data loss is worse for users than the cost of this kind of ‘major violation of trust’.
