Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 months agoJust automatically started uploading everything on my hard drive to an account I didn’t set up
Wait, what?

I mean specifically a cloud storage account. Setting up the computer required me to supply an email address and set a password for microsoft.com. There was nothing in that process that I recall mentioning OneDrive, or that would have suggested every file on my C drive was about to be indiscriminately uploaded to a Microsoft server somewhere. I didn’t even know OneDrive was a thing until I had to google how to stop it.
