I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad idea.

No, this is a bad idea. It’s a terrible idea.

What you said is like saying “well, I need surgery, having the monkey from the forest come at me with a knife is better than nothing.”

Microsoft has proven themselves over and over to be the last company you should trust with your data. Even recently they’ve been responsible for losing a life’s worth of data because of OneDrive

They’re already uploading people’s data off of their computers to OneDrive without consent, then deleting the local copies.

Plus their tech work culture is lacking. When they screwed something up with Office 365 and Outlook wasn’t available for over 18 hours (for basically the whole world), their response was a tweet that it’s fixed.

Whereas CloudFlare messed up something for only an hour, they released a comprehensive breakdown on their blog of what happened, what the root cause was, and what they’re going to do to prevent it from happening again.

Which company seems reliable to you?
