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.

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.

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.

Doo eh loauk like I kno whaaut "The Cloud" is?

I jast want a picture ofa ghatdang hawtdog

I saw this shit coming twenty years ago.

You want to be in control of your data? Silly human…

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.

Getting OneDrive uninstalled fully is a nightmare. I got rid of it but it was still trying to sync. Like wtfff

Remember ladies and gents. It's not cloud storage it's someone else's computer.

"Let's finish setting up windows (by asking you to subscribe to something you don't need!)"

I want to save to onedrive, the one drive on my 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.

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

Switch to Linux, this shit doesn't happen unless you set it up.

This happened on my work computer and fucked up a lot of software.

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.

You have a house?

Quick vent. My job introduced OneDrive and cloud shit through Microsoft. Yeah. I still have to tell my computer to save on itself. I'm not using OneDrive.

I hear my coworkers bitch about it all the time. It's not syncing. I can't save or change this or that. I can't find it when I'm trying to open it. Why is this green or yellow? What's up with this check? They always ask me for help because I'm the younger one that knows more about computers. I respond that I don't do cloud shit. I want to know where my info is, but they keep on wanting me to figure it out for them.

I guess cloud computing is my old man yelling at clouds line.

"And for the love of god stop letting programs put their crap here"

I would fill that shit with porn movies and then disconnected from it. Let them figure it out!

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.
