    Jesus Christ, people really do love to make a problem out of anything, as long as it has “Microsoft” on the label, eh?

      I use it, I even pay for it. But Holy fuck it’s bad! It makes explorer freeze when right clicking sometimes, moving files is slow, I can’t create a new folder and name it at the same time because it interrupts the process, so I create new folder, it takes over, then I have to manually rename it from new folder.

      Its picture viewer in the Web app freezes half of the time, actually, on the android app too.

      If I didn’t get such a good deal for it, I would go somewhere else. It’s fucking trash.

      I can understand the Microsoft hate, but I always chuckle at this knee-jerk reaction every time it comes up.

      *Microsoft is mentioned, karate-chops the air*

        Right? It’s insane!

        Like with the ROG Ally. People who don’t have it call it the worst shit ever because it runs Windows. People who do have it call it amazing, because the UI is done great, the games run smooth, etc. Like, there’s zero issues with the device, it’s great for gaming, but because Microsoft is involved, so many people just want to drop it in the gutter…

        I swear, if Microsoft just randomly decided that every Windows user gets one million dollars, no strings attached, people would complain…

        What?

        If you’re using OneDrive, 99% of the time you want your documents to be saved there anyway, so this saves you time.

        If you’re not using OneDrive, this doesn’t affect you at all.

        If you’re using OneDrive but, for whatever reason, don’t want Word to save files there by default, it takes some 5 clicks to go back to the previous default.

        People are behaving like Microsoft is sending death squads to get all their documents, it’s just stupid.

      And people are correct to do so.

      Onedrive has been known to just randomly break programs like razer synapse and plenty of other things, and also reinstalling itself for no reason. A friend had a game running at 20fps and it was a known issue that onedrive caused it. I would prefer to have things autosave without using something that is acting indistinguishable from a virus.

        Never heard of that. The only thing I can imagine that might happen here is Synapse dropping off its config files in Documents, the file getting kicked off to the cloud (after a device switch/OS reinstall, by the user or via space-saving logic due to long time of not being used), and then Synapse trying to interact with the placeholder file. Literally nothing else could affect it.

        Also, using any Razer software as an argument against other software is… brave.

        Would love to read more about it because it sounds completely ridiculous. Unless the game constantly overwrites files in OneDrive sync’d folders, which would trigger a non-stop sync, I guess?

        I would prefer to have things autosave without using something that is acting indistinguishable from a virus.

        This sentence goes super hard if you have no clue what a virus is.
