OneDrive - NoPoint?
Just what the Hell is the point of Microsoft's wretched "OneDrive"?
MS up-dated (so down-graded) my PC from Win-10 to Win-11, replacing their own, long-established and efficient file-handling system with a cheapskate mess, grossly interfering with my filing system and losing a lot of photographs in the process.
It also barred entry to my two perfectly good USB external drives, making backing-up anything difficult. (I will NOT use MS' so-called "Cloud". I do not trust the company.)
Recently MS forced more up-dates on me, and it seems I am by no means the only user to find the latest blocks or loses 'Excel' files. That includes one of mine too important to lose, before I could copy its most recent version. It raises an error message saying it or its location is "read only" (not by the Properties tool, it isn't) or on an unresponsive server.
In trying to recover it, hampered rather than helped by MS' over-complicated, leading-question 'Support' system, I discovered a huge number of my files on something called "OneDrive" - which is not that listed in the tatty side-bar index..
I did not put them there!
Worse, they are all jumbled up, not in basic file-type order, not even in alphabetical or date order.
.
I've also had this site freeze itself and whole PC with it several times - again only since the latest interference from MS.
.
What exactly are the Seattle Cowboys playing at? Why did they give themselves the right to interfere with your own computer and data so grossly and so ineptly, and to copy or move them randomly to one enormous directory of their own?
I will have to buy a new USB drive compatible with MS WIN-11 and earlier (not cheap) and move all my data to it before the incompetents Gates now employs, makes even more of a mess of them.
I will also need find a professional repairer to recover that spreadsheet and pull back into my control any other MS-lost / OneDrive /Cloud files - not cheap either.
One-Drive? Aye - Drive-One-Up-The-Wall.
