Steam and Discord? Yes. Everything else in that image? I think OneDrive and Windows Defender are the only things there that I have installed, and OneDrive is only on my laptop and only used for work purposes.
I don’t understand the whole stigma around OneDrive. People act like it’s bad, but if you set it up right, it acts just like Google Drive or Dropbox or WhateverTheFuckCloudStorage.exe..
The stigma is that windows tries to shove one drive down your throat.
When I first set up windows 10 a while back, they told me that a Microsoft account was required to make it function. I sighed and followed along and then saw how every time I opened the start menu, it'd say "your files are out of sync! Activate OneDrive to make sure your files stay safe."
It's a dark pattern. If I wanted OneDrive, I'd install it.
Now I have to jump through hoops anytime I do a fresh windows install to ensure that it allows me to use a local account....which should fucking be the default.
Everything I try to save a file in word it defaults to an old college one drive and I no longer have access so I get an error. Desktop. Just save it to desktop.
Fuck one drive and fuck tying a windows log in to a Microsoft account.
Exactly. And then when you do use it, it suddenly moves all your backed up files into a folder you can't rename. It's really wonky. I only use OneDrive because my university gives bulk OneDrive storage for free.
I find it annoying. It pops up with its nag notification to set it up like every day. Just fuck off. If I want it set up I will.
For me, one drive somehow got out of sync on one location and proceeded to delete a bunch of files without notification or interaction on my part. I know my case is probably very rare but I just have never been able to bring myself to trust them again.
