    My work forces us to save everything to the drive, so anything in our home drives or desktops is automatically backed up.

    But not my downloads folder. It is the only spot on my work laptop safe from backup. They’ll never get me.

      I used to have a little program that would save a file to a user’s desktop. it was made to help with manually compiling files to send out in a package, and every user has a desktop, right? so just save the file there, instead of taking up space on our cloud storage or something (these are often big files, but they only exist for a short period of time) then OneDrive came along and all of a sudden the tool stopped working, because the desktop folder no longer existed. that was a weird one for me
