Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why (www.techspot.com)

When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft's cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.

You know that's a novel and insightful musing that no one's ever thought to share before.

It's brave of you to go on Lemmy and suggest the solution to a Windows problem is to uninstall it.

A lot of people on lemmy long ago realized that if you have enough problems with windows, the problem is windows.
