      In short: yes.

      Will it also take you a short time to do, and be certain it won’t be magically back next Windows update? Not really, and once in a while they break the current system on how to uninstall it.

        The biggest thing that pisses me off about onedrive is moving my damn folders.

        C:\Users\Me\Documents

        Becomes

        C:\Users\Me\onedrive\Documents

        Why? JUST WHY???

        When you install powershell modules in user context it syncs to one drive. NO REASON FOR THIS. Oh and I can’t update the modules because one drive is using the files constantly.

        I had to go online to one drive and delete it from one drive so it syncs the delete to my local machine.

        Holy shit that’s idiotic.

          I just bought a new computer yesterday and mines isn’t set up like that. That being said, that sounds like a nightmare.

        I want to keep some of my files locally and not on a cloud service? I dislike how that’s the default location to save stuff to. Finding my local machine is harder than it should be.

        Also cost. Eventually when you get used to it or mass adoption happens they will start nickel and diming you to use their service.

        I

          What do you mean it’s the default location?? It isn’t and never was for me… I have all my documents locally separate from onedrive…

            When I attempt to save a file in Excel it automatically defaults to try to save it to one drive.

              When I click save as I get to choose between Onedrive and “This PC”, which when clicked defaults to C:/Users/<Name>/Documents
