Literally. I open up my terminal and try to cd Desktop only to be told that no such file exists. I thought for sure everyone this was happening to was just not reading something correctly and were foolish. Nope! It literally began deleting my files.

Edit 2: Even once it's done and you have them locally and not "on demand", the Desktop is in ~/OneDrive/Desktop instead of ~/Desktop. See this helpful comment.

It looks like there might be a way to sort of disable Files on Demand but it looks like it won't let me do it until it's done uploading? I'll post updates.

Not to be dramatic, but I'm really going through it. My mouse logitech mouse is suddenly chattering really bad and double clicking everything. Also while Steam refuses to let me disable auto updates for all games in any sort of easy way. And DDG seems intent on only showing me results related to launching games without updating (as opposed to merely disabling auto updates until I launch). The chatter fixer I found for my mouse does not work and the other requires some logitech program to even try to use. (The repo doesn't mention the name.) This is awful. When it rains it pours, I guess. Literally can't even high light this text to wrap it in a spoiler. This is fucking stupid.

Context: My parents have a family plan for Microsoft 365 they added me too and it has 1 TB of storage I can use. I wouldn't have turned it on otherwise.


Edit: My desktop background has literally vanished and turned solid black.

DO NOT ENABLE ONE DRIVE.

Regarding your mouse double clicking, some Reddit users suggest pressing the click button quite hard a few times...

cloud storage is not a backup. This should be engraved on all computers.

one drive is not even "storage" really - it's more of a embryonic car crash waiting for an unwitting pedestrian to step in front.

If for whatever reason any masochists are using onedrive, tthey really need to know about proper backup .

I thought OneDrive was a Windows thing. What's it doing on Linux?

i had the same thing a while back. i thought i disabled onedrive from running on my machine, went to delete some onedrive files because i was "running out of space", and deleted all the user files on my system
