Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 week agoI still prefer them hijacking a particular drive letter to Microsoft’s approach of not even using a drive at all
Yes thank you so much Microsoft for making every single employee’s file path different when we’re trying to send each other the location of files, all of them within unnecessary multiple levels at the start because the default installation is c users user documents OneDrive
this is actually one way that I see which of my new hires actually read the fucking onboarding document and followed the instructions. One of the first steps is “unlink your OneDrive account and set up a OneDrive folder in the root of one of your drives instead” (with actual instructions on how to do that). two out of three new hires without fail will send me a link in their first week that points to c users. It’s a nice litmus test for who is going to be useless and/or a pita

Regardless of which is better, I had mine configured exactly how I wanted it and they changed it without my consent and broke my system because of it in a way that I previously thought wasn’t possible.
It would have been fine if it was a setting that I could enable and configure myself to my liking.

yep, it’s absolutely infuriating that they do that shit. you do some work around to make shit actually function, and then they just go change it on you without actually adding the functionality you needed
