"Your" files? No no no, rookie mistake. You see, you might think that just because you created them they are YOUR files, but since you were them using Microsoft's software, on Microsoft's OS, they are actually Microsoft's files that they graciously license to you for limited use! Should have read all those EULAS, eh?

... I don't even friggin' know if I should put an /s at the end - the current tech dystopia it can actually be true.

  Can be true? I think you hit the nail on the head. They just aren’t saying it out loud yet.

  That would be one of the top three reasons for doing it.

Eh? This ain’t new, they have been heavily pushing saving to Onecloud as the default since 2022.

Cool, basically zero chance of people losing documents that they were working on. I’m sure no one will take issue with this helpful feature.

Oh, I forgot where I am.
