I want to save to onedrive, the one drive on my computer.
OneDrive usurping my folders and data, siphoning it to their servers without my permission (just like a virus) is exactly why I switched to Linux. It’s such a breath of fresh air not feeling like every update is trying to monetize and enshittify my computer more
Download ISO from M$, wipe and install, uninstall One Drive, done. Betting you got fucked using the Dell or HP or whatever factory install.
Only enshittification I see is a single sentence on my lock screen. Don’t care, used a Windows crack, paid nothing.
Snaps…
I suppose Ubuntu could count as an exception…
Luckily there are plenty of choices, Fedora is my personal fav
Do I look like I know what a jay peg is?
Also yes this is crazy. I would recommend installing Linux to fix this issue.
I love my computer so much more since I switched to Linux
You know whats cool? Office programs like excel and word have an ‘autosave toggle’, and you know what it does? “Please log into one drive to enable autosave”.
Thats right, you cant have a local autosave, you MUST be saving to one drive.
Cool, thanks, no.…

Fuck M$ 365, good old Office 2019.
Also fuck Teams, but that is a whole different story.
Why do you continue to use software that abuses you? Try LibreOffice or even Google.
Remember ladies and gents. It’s not cloud storage it’s someone else’s computer.
I do feel a bit like a Hank Hill when I rant about this or any other newer, unwelcome features. No, Outlook, I don’t want you to finish my sentences, you are wrong 100% of the time and I’d rather do it myself gosh dang it.
“And for the love of god stop letting programs put their crap here”
OneDrive to rule them all, OneDrive to subscribe them
OneDrive to pester them all and in the darkness sync them
In the land of Microsoft, where the data lies.
OneDrive and all of M365 is much nicer on Linux. It’s all just webpages that I use when I need them (pretty regularly) but that don’t interfere with anything else going on with my system.
You have a house?
“Let’s finish setting up windows (by asking you to subscribe to something you don’t need!)”
Getting OneDrive uninstalled fully is a nightmare. I got rid of it but it was still trying to sync. Like wtfff
Usually when I see the same meme reposted over and over, I start to downvote. But not this one. This one always gets an upvote from me.
As annoying as it is being set this way by default, it’s easily avoided by right clicking on the user folder to move ( documents|desktop|video|etc) folders in File Explorer -> Properties -> Location tab.
Then either: Type in: C:\users[your current user]\Documents (or which ever user folder being changed)
Or
Click Move and browse to and select the local folder you want to use.
Click apply, it will ask you if you want to move contents from the original location as well.
Click yes, and now your user folders will be and will stay local. I haven’t had any issues since and have had that set for years on my windows PCs.
