Everyone hates OneDrive, Microsoft's cloud app that steals then deletes all your files (boingboing.net)

Yes, I do hate OneDrive.

The article doesn't mention how it Moves all the files and library folders when it's turned on. If one tries to go look in the folders outside of explorer it becomes clear than everything was moved into a weird OneDrive folder rather than OneDrive just backing things up from where they were.

Particularly annoying when I specifically have it turned off but it already moved all my files into onedrive locations.

Been using this same windows install since Win 7 so there's some cruft lol 7 => 10 => 11
