When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft’s cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.



Most people aren’t choosing to enable OneDrive; it’s enabled by default, and not obvious how to disable.
Stop excusing the stupid. People are capable to learn to avoid it and disable it.
Windows update will frequently reenable OneDrive. Microsoft systematically undermines people ability to understand and control their own device.
