Nah, fuck off. The cloud is a place you don’t have any control over. I remember getting angry when Windows 10 LTSC got an update that added an online backup system. I do not pay them to take a copy of my important work and documents, they should pay me for that privileges. Furthermore, it’s an absolute disgrace to see that on an LTSC copy to begin with, it’s meant to be the barebones OS that you purchase at a premium for minimal updates and changes as well as extended service lifespan.
Fuck OneDrive, I store locally and I make local backups. What I own is mine without exception.
additionally I exclusively use local windows accounts. Passwords are to keep your nosy parents, partners, or kids away from your machine, if a hacker has physical access to your computer it’s jover, no amount of microsoft accounts will save you
I didn’t criticize anyone, I didn’t disrespect anyone, so it’s surprising getting this many downvotes and answers.
Still, it’s your opinion, and I will still share mine.
Local backups have their flaws, just like cloud backups.
I have 1TB storage using my school account. I am constantly changing between devices, and I like having my files always accessible.
Everything important, I keep in two local backups (external HDD and SSD).
The only thing I dislike about onedrive, is the sync of desktop, documents and images folder. I have turned that off, but my docs folder still appears to be syncing with onedrive.
Besides that, it’s the best thing for me. And like I said… “Peace of mind”.
Just because you don’t like that, it does not mean it is a bad solution.
It’s not annoying at all. It’s peace of mind. People are just not used to it

if you want peace of mind, make your own backups and when you need them, you can pull them from your drawer, not from us-east-1 (currently on fire)

No, its kidnapping your data to keep you trapped as their customer. If you want peace of mind, you can make your own backups.
