I know they, even against my explicit will, break encryption, scan the files for "illegal" content and might delete them without prior notice, and of course all on the mercy of a correct AI decision. There is my zero trust in cloud. Besides it is much more expensive then i'm willing to pay.

Hello Leo. Appreciated your explaining how OneDrive works, I had never slowed down long enough to sort it out for me. I have a problem with the concept. Since Windows 7, I have been using a two hard drive approach to my PC file storage. First, I create/use the C: drive contain the currently installed Windows version, plus all user installed Apps. I use a second D: drive for storing: 1) copies of my application install and media files, and 2) all my user data files. Often (with gigabyte storage), I will add a third E: partition for the media files, and F: for my photographs. Works for me, But? There's the issue of doing Windows updates, and migrating to new hardware. Guess I'm not comfortable with putting my data in C: drive. SSD drives make it so easy to not keep all your eggs in the same disk drive.

This is THE ONLY OneDrive video on YT that explains the essence of OneDrive clearly, concisely, and completely....and it only has 6k views. Meanwhile other videos 3x longer ramble on and on and have millions of views. No wonder most people don't know how to use OneDrive. Google really needs to work on its search algorithms to push the best information to the forefront because their algorithms are atrociously inadequate.

Thanks Leo! I think you misspoke at 8:32? You say 'I only deleted the one in Documents' when I think you meant to say 'I only deleted the one in OneDrive Documents'. The rest is quite clear but that sentence made me pause. A point I think should be stressed - Say you create a Document on your native Documents folder on your device, then you copy that Document into your OneDrive Documents folder (and therefore it is automatically uploaded to the OneDrive cloud). Then you make a revision to the original Document that is in your native Documents folder on your device, THOSE REVISIONS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COPY OF THE DOCUMENT YOU PLACED ON ONEDRIVE!!! This may be a very obvious point to many, but it wasn't to me at first and I learned the hard way!! Same thing goes if you make revisions on the document that's in the OneDrive Documents folder - THEY ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE COPY OF THE DOCUMENT IN YOUR NATIVE DOCUMENTS FOLDER ON YOUR DEVICE!!!. Sorry for the 'shouting' - but I did a LOT of 'shouting' when I was trying to figure this out!! :)

Thank you; I was looking for someone to write this. I used to be a computer instructor, and that concept--two separate and independent files, one on OneDrive and the other local--was a difficult concept for many students to grasp. I heard way too many sad stories about how their file (note the singular) would not reflect recent modifications the next time they opened it. They would then modify that file, and on and on ad nauseum, back and forth, folder to folder. This point can't be stressed enough.

Abt 1 month ago 韓国J discussed a method he is used to. It intrigues me as I can't find anywhere else a discussion about the fact that "Desktop" is also grabbed by onedrive. Now Desktop often has info that people may not want on onedrive. Leo, can you comment on the storage of Desktop, and where it can be stored away from onedrive? And perhaps comment on how Microsoft Office defines its storage place as the same folders as onedrive grabs. I discovered this when I did a full uninstall of onedrive software in Windows 10, only to find that Microsoft Office can still use onedrive regardless. This didn't happen before with MS Office, until I replaced my C: drive and did a full fresh install of MS Office!

n my organization, when we use managed backups for Desktop, Documents and Pictures, it removes those folders from 'C:\Users\User1\Desktop or Documents or Pictures' and places them into 'C:\Users\User1\OneDrive\Desktop or Documents or Pictures'. If you go back to 'C:\Users\User1\Desktop or Documents or Pictures', you'll either have a generic folder of the same name which is a separate entity from the OneDrive or it won't exist at all in the file structure.. We also have several icons on the Desktop as part of our standard image and if you back up Desktop, and go to a new computer and set up OneDrive and use managed backups, it will create copies of those icons unless you delete the ones from the managed OneDrive Desktop, Documents or Pictures folders. It's inconvenient and confusing!

I like to consider it as one document or same document that appears on and accessible from PC, Onedrive web, mobile etc all up to date and in sync across devices That's the end user experience. I like to view it as same document appearing in different places, accessible in different form probably (e.g. Web Word vs Desktop Word) and with different UIs.

Dear Leo, I am your big 😘💕 fan but you missed out one very important security point. MS allows employers using One Drive Business share point and One Drive - IN to hack into home personal account installing hidden virtual cameras via our USB ports. Such hacking is often made possible due to administrative tools sold by MS to any organizations. Bear in mind, MS is business oriented, never taking care of end users despising us not contributing any revenue to MS. Always rmb MS isn't a charity organization. Worse still, my former employee made use of all these accessible privileges to peep and record all my lady visitors peeing in my home restroom, which case was brought to court and legal enforcement.
