Almost all the new hires at work save shit to one drive and teams and it's incredibly annoying to locate anything. Just save it to the dang shared drive.

I had to force people in our lab to use the shared drive, they were all so resistant to it for some reason. Lo and behold they love it now because its easy to share stuff and you can use any computer to get it.
Windows 11 finally allows you to simply uninstall OneDrive. Before that you had to do weird registry hacks, that often broke something :-/

My end user had three documents.
- In oneDrive, localised to Spanish
- In oneDrive, still in English
- The actual document folder
Guess where they put all the files that I wanted to be put in /documents?
I can totally relate. I went and built a NAS then installed Proxmox on it to then create a VM for TrueNAS in which i then created a docker for Nextclound. Then I installed Arch on a different VM and used Nextcloud sync so I can have access to my files on my laptop that also runs Arch. Humblebrag over, I apologize for trying to relate to a windows user.
OneDrive: fuck no you’re not doing that shit
ms permmisions tricks... take ownership of it's folder. delete other perms. everyone denied. gets an error and doesn't start. done
I just uninstalled it on my work pc. I got fed up when certain applications saved a cache to somewhere in %APPDATA% that got backed up every Tuesday. The apps then saw the cache changed and attempted to reconcile the changes and corrupted my work.
Never again.
ms backup has never worked. onedrive will come back until you trip it and let it think it's already installed. btdt

Man, with the Linux users on one side and daddy Microsoft high on the cloud, C: don’t get no respect!
