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.

    Garbage article, but I think what they are saying is if you don’t restore your files from backup before you disable your onedrive backup, then you lose your files.

    This sounds like user error.

      Confusing and bad UI/UX is… confusing and bad.

      We’re all glad you’re a poweruser, anyway, can we maybe have an operating system that doesn’t actively hate and fight the user?
