Sounds like a windows people problem that I’m too Linux to understand

Imagine thinking you own your computer if it runs Windows instead of Free Software.

What about a link? I could let you have a link you could save to your documents folder? Would you like that? Would you like a link you could save and you could still save your actual file to our cloud? When you have internet trouble and can’t load your damn file you could stare at that link and know that when your internet is working again, your file will be right there in the cloud for you. Wouldn’t that be nice?

OneDrive scans all the files on your computer regardless of whether you use it or not.

Just delete the software and only use it from your browser.

Or just delete Windows and use Linux.

Deleting onedrive is one of the first things I do when installing windows.
