Microsoft wants to start charging you to access your own files…
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
Except it is on your local machine. It’s also backed up online and accessible from other machines on your account.
Microsoft will not allow you to enable the auto save feature unless the location is part of OneDrive.
You can manually save to a local store, but that is it.
There are some work around, but it shouldn’t be necessary in the first place.
The one drive folder is still a local folder as well. This meme is just stupid and ignorant.
It’s saved locally and automatically backed up.
You can view it offline and online.
If it’s in your own house why would you be using windows
HuRrRrRr
This is exactly why I left (Arch BTW)
Or in the rare cases where I do want to save to onedrive. Cool lets dump every document right into the root onedrive folder with zero organization or file tree structure.
This meme is coming full circle with the push by all MLM douchelord slopjocks to make sure no one has an actual computer in their house anymore.
I hate teams for this. I have to click three times before getting to the file browser saving screen.
