Microsoft One Drive is secure right?

I just have a few important documents that I'd like to have saved somewhere.
My laptop is failing. SD cards and flash drives are not reliable...

Yeah.

Google drive is good too

So long as you won't forget your credentials, and so long as your credentials aren't too weak (e.g. a reused password)

I wouldn't consider anything of Microsoft's to be secure or private but a lot of their stuff's industry standard and convenient.

@iamnikki Windows tracking and "phoning home"... Office and it's hackable passwords for so many years... The buggiest most insecure browser for years... No thanks. I lost my trust years ago and moved on.

@PhilDeep passwords are only hackable if you make a weak one. I dont know what you mean by Windows tracking. What browser are you referring to?
PhilDeep · 51-55, M
@iamnikki No, their password system was hackable. You could get a tool to break it within seconds. Internet explorer, which has only just been retired. Windows spies on what you're doing and thinks it's okay to keep sending info to Microsoft, supposedly for "improving Windows". We know how much Windows is good at improvements by the regularity with which its "automatic" sometimes unstoppable updates break things then have to be fixed with further updates. I don't use Microsoft for anything important ever unless there is no alternative due to being forced to engage with another party which precludes other options.

It's as good as anything as long as strong password etc

@SW-User do you know if it automatically syncs? For example, if I put a folder called "pictures" in my one drive then save a picture to my computer, will that picture automatically go to one drive? Or do I need to actually load the picture into one drive, versus onto my computer.?

@iamnikki it will automatically sync. But you'll need to have one drive on your machine, default on Windows 10.
Check the settings to see what folders and type of files are synced
