How Microsoft Extortion Can Lead to Data Loss

⚠️ OneDrive’s “backup” can quietly move your Desktop and Documents into the cloud, fill your free 5GB of storage, and start pushing you to “free up space.” Here’s the scary part: the wrong click can delete files everywhere.

⚠️ OneDrive and data loss
Once OneDrive’s backup “feature” is enabled, you can run out of storage space fast. Deleting files to make more space can lose your data permanently. Options include paying for more space, abandoning OneDrive, avoiding the backup “feature”, and becoming more OneDrive-literate so you can use it safely.
