Let be honest here, a majority of users have their mobile devices backup automatically. They will see this in the same way…
Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

My phone asked me first.

Just that I don’t have anything worthwhile on my phone. All the important stuff is on PCs. All the stuff that is professional, that is covered by NDAs, all the banking. And just because Microsoft has ever been shitty and is now going extra-shitty, it is not a Windows PC.
Just wait until some Microsoft digital parrot AKA artificial “intelligence” spouts some companies internal data that it had gobbled up somewhere from the companies internal network…

Same here. I don’t have anything important, and my contacts are in a vcf file whenever I need it.

I got both google and xiaomi do that on the same phone, it sure was a hassle to remove both without losing my data…

I wouldn’t trust OneDrive with any kind of data. Windows 11 is garbage. Waiting for Windows 12.

Sorry to break the spell but Windows 12 will be worse. Might even be subscription based.
SketchySeaBeast@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Windows 12 won’t be. Windows 12+ChatGPT 100% will be.

And yet people will just shrug it off and keep using windows. And Microsoft loves that.

take ownership then deny everyone. if folder is deleted it will reappear

Oddly enough, OneDrive is the least of my problems with windows. It’s pretty handy at work since I have to juggle tasks between multiple PCs. My only hang up with Linux is games, which is odd since time wise I don’t spend most of my time there.

Lately, Windows 11 has been a one sussy baka. Windows, I don’t know, man, it’s almost like we have an impostor among us.

Recently switch to NextCloud.
So far so far.

Real question here: has anyone else had luck side-stepping the Live365 signup during/after install? I’ve done this, and I’m very confused that more people haven’t.
AceTheBaka@lemm.ee 4 months ago
iirc when going through the setup after a fresh install, I used sign in and typed in an email like fake@email.com with a keysmashed password. Because it’s obviously not an actual account and with a password that wouldn’t be correct, it’ll say as much but still let you continue into windows without signing in. Hope that helps

This stopped working about 1 month ago. OOBE\BYPASSNRO method can be used to create local account.

I got a new laptop at work and everything, every file I worked in, was creating a second copy of itself on OneDrive. It was so annoying and took awhile but I found instructions on deleting the duplicates.
It took all the files off my local machine and left the ones on OneDrive.
Aaaargh!
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, it did this to me a few months back. Got the files back local eventually but it was a big pain in my arse. If I had time to learn another os I’d already be gone. Seems like Microsoft is determined to asset-strip whatever good reputation their product had left.

If you start with something like PopOS, Linux Mint, or Universal Blue the learning curve shouldn’t be too high.
