Needs more than just backing off AI to get me to upgrade my backup windows 10 installations (only use them for things Linux can’t do).
Control panel/settings needs to be fixed and they can fuck right off with one drive. Every file should be on my computer unless I specifically save to a clearly designated cloud drive. No cloud functions should ever touch files I have saved (by default) to my computer. Also unfuck the start and explorer menus and give me back my pinball.
OneDrive also deletes files off of your computer if you don’t use them often enough. When I was switching over to Linux I had to download a bunch of stuff that was made on that PC! Ridiculous.
Like, you can turn that off, but I don’t think I ever signed up for that specifically.
Yeah, I just don’t trust it so I don’t use it. I have one drive storage and use it, but only on my phone and via the website. I don’t let it touch my windows install because it’s just waaaaaay too aggressive.
The improvement is you’re less likely to use your computer the way you want to instead of the way Micro$lop wants to tell investors you could use it in a way beneficial to them.
I do not because I have never installed windows 11 on a computer personally. I tediously forced all my windows 10 installs to local accounts and forcibly clawed back my local folders on my old laptop after one drive stole everything. I’m also still super skeptical about how “easy” it is to avoid one drive “integration” on windows 11.
Having a theoretical way to maybe do what I suggest hidden in a menu during install and potentially reversed on its own during a standard update (as it happened to me on windows 10) isn’t the same as having it be a clear choice to use one drive as a personally chosen storage location.

After that we can talk, but I’m still skeptical.

I’d love to know who deemed adding more clicks to get to features an improvement.

You know you can decline the onedrive folder sync during initial setup right?

Stop spreading disinformation then.
