The stigma is that windows tries to shove one drive down your throat.
When I first set up windows 10 a while back, they told me that a Microsoft account was required to make it function. I sighed and followed along and then saw how every time I opened the start menu, it'd say "your files are out of sync! Activate OneDrive to make sure your files stay safe."
It's a dark pattern. If I wanted OneDrive, I'd install it.
Now I have to jump through hoops anytime I do a fresh windows install to ensure that it allows me to use a local account....which should fucking be the default.
Everything I try to save a file in word it defaults to an old college one drive and I no longer have access so I get an error. Desktop. Just save it to desktop.
Fuck one drive and fuck tying a windows log in to a Microsoft account.
Exactly. And then when you do use it, it suddenly moves all your backed up files into a folder you can't rename. It's really wonky. I only use OneDrive because my university gives bulk OneDrive storage for free.
