What made me stop using onedrive was when they put that giant "start backup" button in Windows explorer.

This whole situation is kind of sad. OneDrive is pretty good as a synced file system for Windows machines. It really does just sort of "work".

I wish they'd left it alone.

CEO: but maybe there is some more money to be extracted from it for the next quarter?

Maybe a stupid question: How do they make money of private files being hosted on their server?

There are paid options I guess?

It also ties all the "365" applications together locking out the competition.

Also for training AI possibly.

Edit: for the crap questions I guess it's information to hone in on "better/higher" prices.
