🚨🚨ATTENTION!🚨🚨 I am an IT administrator with 30 years industry experience. I am NO Microsoft fanboy by any means! This video is EXTREMELY misleading! OneDrive is simply an App that does sync files up to the Microsoft Servers. While you setup your account, it will display a screen similar to the below (screen 1) where you toggle on the 3 primary folders that users store information. If you store information in other folders, outside of the 3 listed, they are not sync'ed online! Furthermore, when you complete the setup of an account, you get a tutorial screen the provides guidance on what these little icons mean. You can right-click a folder and select the "Always keep on this device" if you want to download the files. This boils down to "user education" and how to use OneDrive effectively. It is not some big conspiracy to get users. It is just, no offense, you run into this problem because YOU ARE NOT READING the screens and you should openly admit that you are computer illiterate. It's okay, we all were there once upon a time. I understand how my harsh words can hurt your feelings, but I have been working in IT for a long time and we have to be honest with ourselves... We are the PEBCAK in the end! 😂

There are very simple fixes and solutions to this problem: 1.) Don't use Windows. 2.) Ensure you backup everything to a standalone hard drive daily or weekly. 3.) Don't use Windows.

INSTALL LINUX.

Exactly why I've used Linux for over 30 years. They can brick all your Windows machines with the flip of a switch.

and that's why you should always install Windows in offline mode and remove OneDrive on a system level. 1) how to install Windows in offline mode: 2) how to remove OneDrive:

Use Linux. Problem solved. Microsoft is garbage, has been for a very long time.

Hate one drive and that crap gets disabled immediately on my windows devices. 🤮

To mitigate, users should unlink OneDrive before updates via Settings > Accounts > Windows Backup, or use local Microsoft accounts instead of online ones to avoid automatic enrollment; disabling Files On-Demand ensures files remain downloadable locally.

Which is why when you first install any Windows OS that you immediately/permanently delete OneDrive plus do NOT use the cloud either! Want to backup your data? ... just get an external drive.

I just spent $600 on an HP laptop that came with Microsoft Office free for 1year. I paid extra for one terabyte drive. But nothing gets stored on my laptop it all goes into the cloud, the OneDrive cloud. I either need to throw the laptop away or hire an IT guy to come over and get as much Microsoft contoll off as I can. I don’t want my entire computer stored on a cloud.

Do yourself a favor and upload your files to an ext. drive & Buy these Linux,UBUNTU/Libre & unplug from MS Win. machines. DYOR. I absolutley Love mine.

@vernia22 Tiny 11 is the answer, a fully debloated version of Windows 11, updates will never run OneDrive because it's not installed and can only be installed manually. It runs on old hardware with as little as 2gb of ram.

I recently found out that Microsoft on a fresh install of Windows 11 to new computers automatically sets the SSD to be encrypted. You need a key, which is supplied (and you had best not lose that!), to decrypt the drive. What I suspect is happening there is that this is a move to (eventually) arrange things such that Microsoft is effectively the owner of your drive and computer and all the files on it. Eventually you will have no control at all over your computer and files — that will all belong to Microsoft by default.

This has always been obvious and is the status column. Open File Explorer, right-click on Documents, and select "Always keep on this device." Better yet, set up your own backup to a high-speed *external* drive (so you can grab it on the way out the door in a fire) and use software that does file syncing.

Anyone who still uses MS Windows has already lost control over their own life. Linux (e.g. Mint) has reached the point where it can completely replace Windows. Without the spying and patronizing behavior. There is literally no reason left not to switch.

windows 10 still until next PC build and I'll finally fully migrate to Linux

You will own nothing and be happy. Tomorrow's computers will be 'thin clients' with only cloud storage, if the greedy, unscrupulous corporate psychopaths have their way.

Bill gates had nothing to do with Microsoft for 20 years except flight simulator. Your tin foil hats on too tight on this one.

Feeling Vindicated!!! I kept saying there is no way in hell I’m giving acccess to my docs to the fucking cloud. My original thought was hacking but also privacy concerns about IP. Now I see they’re the hackers

Linux is the answer. Any in 2026 using windows or IOS is doomed. You choose convinence over freedom. And it isn't hard or for freaks, hackers, or some IT Admins. It is free totaly easy and for most things, no one at home would ever need something else. And even if. It is easy.

Yeah, he's done that for years

This is not how it happens. I am an IT tech and have setup many on OneDrive. You do have to ask to move your data to OneDrive. OneDrive also warns you that deleted files are deleted after 30-days. It helps to read the messages on the screen and get help if needed.

It IS malware. They want to data mine all of your files and secretly profit from it giving you Nothing. YOU are the product, the operating system is just the bait loss leader

Never keep important files on your computer. Always save, and backup, outside the system.

Every Windows operating system and every antivirus program is spyware. Simply installing it on a computer is enough. Countries even give them away as ‘gifts’ for spying purposes

Don't panic. I you don't see OneDrive installed in Windows Startup App then it is not running. If it is running simly turn it off and remove using Add Remove Programs in Settings.

Linux folks.... Learn it

Haven’t people heard about harddrives? Why store files at some outside source instead of storing on a advice that you yourself have access to 🤔

Oh [[they]] do it alright!! You can easily tell now when you have black squares in your gallery instead of the pictures & clips you KNOW were there 🤨

I keep telling people to back important documents up via hard copy. A secondary, independent device is OK but has to be accessed via a computer and can be compromised. Sorry, paper copy is best
