Because it puts stuff there when I don’t want it. I work in locations without internet access (quelle horreur!) and I want access to my files. Also there is a cloud desktop and a local desktop. Cloud downloads file and a local downloads file. I don’t want any cloud and I don’t want to pay starlink to get to files I could carry with me.
Is that a configuration issue? I think what I did was went into the settings and tailored it. Shut off desktop, decided which folders and where. Then it’s all good. I recommend it as a first option for multi unit use.
Yeah it depends on the group policies that hit the machine set up by their company. Likely when a new user logs into the machine the image/policy isn’t using C:\users%Username% as the default file location, but rather c:\users%username%\onedrive.
Thus creating a local copy of said files they create, and auto backing them up to OneDrive so they have backups and local copies.
The standard user directory still exists so if someone saves something there, it will show up in recents and then they will keep saving things there, and it won’t back up. That’s my guess
For one thing, just like Google Drive, MS scans everything and won’t let you store stuff they disagree with.
Example: batch files that modify things like KMS settings. These have a legitimate use in business environments, but MS sees them as hacking their stuff.
They don’t warn you either, the sync jobs just fail. Like a OneNote notebook will just fail to sync, with no reason why.
I think that has to do with the security they set up to try to ensure malware/viruses don’t go upstream. If you are going to share permissions across users, across computers, and across multiple networks, you can’t have Fred downloading an email to his documents which is automatically backing up to his onedrive which he shared with a sharepoint drive for everyone else to access and now it has permissions to come back down to their devices as well. I would say that’s ignoring teams, but like it was pointed out elsewhere, SharePoint / OneDrive / Teams storage is essentially all the same.
What’s wrong with OneDrive? I use it and it’s fine.
“Works on my machine.”

Same. Microsoft can eat shit for copilot but I love having the cloud integration. Especially when I have 6 devices.

I keep my porn there. No need to leave traces on my devices
It also is available on Mac.
