    As a reminder, you can always just uninstall OneDrive and call it a day.

    Until Microsoft takes that option away as well…

      I did that and it was a mess, with warnings about being unable to backup that I couldn’t get rid of. I had to reinstall to try to turn off syncing, then remove again. But it’s so integrated that my desktop is still under a OneDrive subfolder and it’s still referenced in various places.

      Is there a guide to completely removing this from Windows 11 cleanly?

    Isn’t apple doing the same?

    Designed to fill the 5gb immediately so you’re going to buy more cloud space immediately

    When I had an iPhone, there was an annoying red dot on the settings icon “warning, you didn’t enable cloud backups for photos”, and if you enabled it become an annoying red dot “warning you ran out of iCloud space”

      It’s not an Apple fanboy but imo it’s a lot more transparent on their side. There’s a switch for each and every service to use iCloud or not in the settings. Services don’t just re-enable their usage of iCloud after some random update and most importantly, they don’t just re-install apps you previously deleted. Or bloatware.
