TIFU by thinking I can just use one drive and upload the albums one by one and downloading them and then deleting them.

Well I actually kept doing it until I noticed the synch was not only deleting the one drive file it was also deleting my albums that were synched at the same time.

Now I have to recover 40 Albums because I didn’t check what was going on while doing this whole thing.

Now I have to recover them all and while doing so I noticed it has wrong date/ time now.

Pro tip: You should synch your fotos with one drive, download the photos, UNSYNCH again and then delete.

    I can just use one drive

    This is the real fuck up moment. Almost anything else would’ve had better UI and settings to warn you before you even made any mistake. OneDrive has an absolutely awful user experience.

      It’s not sync-hronize. It’s synch-ronize. So “synch” actually makes more sense. Just like “psych”.

        “makes more sense” is not a valid approach to language, instead, what everyone “agrees” on is what is correct. And that is often very non-logic. But also your logic itself is not good, it could just as well be sync-hronize. How is hronize worse than ronize?

        But synch is actually ok, I just checked. Just never saw that anywhere.

        Similar to heli or copter, which both make no sense because it’s not heli-copter but helico-pter
