    One drive legitimately breaks windows, well not usually but only because developers are smart enough not to use it, the A problem with One Drive is that Windows in there infinite wisdom has decided to put default folders directly into One Drive: Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc, if a developer was to actually use these folders the auto saves, restores and virtual files stored online would absolutely break what ever is stored in there, now this might sound obvious and of course they are only for the end user developers shouldn’t touch it, but that hasn’t always been true, it wasn’t that long ago when the documents folder was used heavily for saves , but more importantly if the user tries to backup other files that contain programs you know those things that are a hassle to reinstall, then they will break programs.

    omg fr. Literally 2 days ago I had to Google an issue and fix it because APPARENTLY OneDrive wanted to randomly store some terraria files and would cause the game to crash anytime you try to load a game. That’s bad enough as is but the game would say “Error regarding exit point in floating point variable” or some other jargon like that, I don’t really remember it. And thus began my 45 minute journey to figure out what’s causing it.

    Trying to play a simple game with my brother during a stressful time in our lives and dealing with his computer pulling random bs was so annoying. I miss when you could just plug in another controller :(

    I use onedrive to sync one file around.

    Can’t remember if it’s a password file or a notes file from Joplin.

    That’s it. For some reason I’ve forgotten, it was the most convenient. And I don’t even use windows.

    I’ll sync it in house when I set my server up next year.
