  I suppose they think they can gather more information on user habits and user interaction with onedrive to determine how to reduce user loss.

    If so, they should pay for Q/A and/or focus testing themselves. Not freeload off from forcing users.

    I can already see that this won’t gather them any data that is actually useful for analysis.

  Pushing subscriptions and vendor lock-in. They harass you to use OneDrive so they can later harass you to pony up for a 365 subscription.

    The only reason I want a 365 subscription is for Excel, still nothing really beats it.

      Yeah, but you can also just pirate a volume license version of Office 2016 and move on with life.

      That’s fine if you actually want it. I usually get the Costco deal for the family plan because we need the official MS Office apps and the terabyte storage per account is useful for us.

      But Microsoft has gotten really obnoxious lately about upselling in the OS.
