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.

      She doesn’t know what she accepted man, that’s the fucking point. I doubt it asked her “Would you like to mirror all your personal files to MS servers, run the risk of data loss, and pay us a yearly subscription if you have more than 2GB(or whatever their cap is) of photos/documents?”.

          She doesn’t, no. But who do you think she’s going to ask about it when the popup tells her she needs to pay out to store more files? What do you think i would have told her to do before reading this article?
