What's also irritating is that onedrive will use some kind of 'smart' caching system to delete the local copy of a file. Which is all fine and dandy until you need said file when you don't have an internet connection. Explaining this to users is very difficult, they just know that something broke and usually when it was very important.
(OK, what's even more stupid is IT departments who don't understand that onedrive has any problems at all, and insist on it and refuse to set up an actual backup system for user devices because 'onedrive will back everything up')
- trinsic2 7mo agoAfter Onedrive uploads all of your data to the cloud without your consent it sets all files as online only. Meaning the file will not live on your computer unless you click on it, then it will download a copy of that specific file to your system. If we didn't have criminals in our government right now I would think that this would be a huge anti-trust violation worth perusing.
- TitaRusell 7mo agoI had to completely nuke OneDrive from windows. With a 2 terabyte SSD I'm unlikely to ever run out of space. Automatically opt in and make the settings deliberately vague and obtuse- companies that have FAITH in their product don't need to do this.
- trinsic2 7mo agoAnd pray it doesnt get reinstalled and it automatically moves your data back to the cloud again. I had this happened to one customer of mine, not quite sure of the circumstances.
- onemoresoop 7mo agoWhy bother with windows though?

Which is all fine and dandy until you need said file when you don't have an internet connection. So does the new Dropbox app that uses the macOS File Provider API. I hate this change, and have no idea how to undo this change. I have selected all my folders in "Selective Sync", but most infrequently-accessed files still refuse to open without internet access and a short lag.
