Microsoft Can’t Stop Being Annoying About OneDrive | They make you take a survey every time you close OneDrive on your device.::They make you take a survey every time you close OneDrive on your device.
Microsoft is the abusive partner wondering how many times they have to hit you to make you love them.
With every hit I’m that much closer to leaving 😭
I can’t leave fully because job, but I can sure as hell lock them inside a VM.
Yandere windows
Nag-rosoft at this point. Nag nag nag all the things.
“How was the quality of the teams call?”
Yeah f this bs
Drop the R…
Why? They sound too close to “negro-soft”?
“People who annoy you”
Ooooooooh… Naggers
Linux is waiting for you.
What made me stop using onedrive was when they put that giant “start backup” button in Windows explorer.
This whole situation is kind of sad. OneDrive is pretty good as a synced file system for Windows machines. It really does just sort of “work”.
I wish they’d left it alone.
CEO: but maybe there is some more money to be extracted from it for the next quarter?
Maybe a stupid question: How do they make money of private files being hosted on their server?
Data is the new oil. Any number of things they can do with your data so they want it, bad.
There are paid options I guess?
It also ties all the “365” applications together locking out the competition.
Also for training AI possibly.
Edit: for the crap questions I guess it’s information to hone in on “better/higher” prices.
It really does just sort of “work”.
“Sorry, there was a problem. (Error code 0x0000fkn69)”
Nothing Microsoft makes ever works.
It’s the first app I uninstall in a new windows install
This was actually the reason I downgraded. I have never used one drive. It’s shit. I’m not starting now. Certainly not when you’ve FORCED me to use it. I had to do back flips to disable that fucking thing and it was still taking up space in the left sidebar of the file explorer. Then everytime I boot the PC up, it started and cried about how it isn’t being used. Then when I closed it, it cried about how I’m mean computer daddy.
It’s my computer. It’s a piece of shit that barely works but it’s mine. If that sat in the background unused and was an option to disable, fine. But the more you force things on me the more spiteful I am going to be.
Onedrive is actually great. especially its Integration into Windows and File Explorer. I don’t think there’s a better Cloud-Service
As an organization admin, it’s great for business use. Don’t force it onto users alongside other bloatware slop.
I feel bad for saying this but I pay for onedrive because it was the best way to make a synchronised library of ebooks that I can use offline in my tablet.
Yes every other cloud storage solution was more expensive or outright didn’t support it for some god forsaken reason. Some needed you to manually press a download button. Google Drive needs you to manually set every file to available offline and even then it won’t work all the time.
You can use syncthing and not have to rely on cloud storage or pay for anything. I use it to keep my ebook library synchronized across devices and it does the job.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely take a look at it and hopefully I’ll be able to drop onedrive if it all works out :)
And then they start scanning your files, for your safety and “the children”. Find something they don’t like. Might even be perfectly legal, and close your account. Because AI…
Puff, gone are your files and you have zero way to appeal.
There is NO cloud… only someone else’s computer…
I pay for OneDrive partly for the offline folders option, after I found that Google Drive didn’t always keep files marked to use offline on my phone.
But recently I tried to view a file in an “offline” folder and it had to download it. I confirmed this in airplane mode with another.
Interesting 🤔 I didn’t expect this to be reason. Like I have it and 99% not use it, well I have some stuff synced there but… like is nice if have to restore something but I never use that…
I mainly have it because is included with the Office stuff. Well actually I have an Excel file in there that I have some numbers of my accounts status but it could have been on Google Spreadsheets…
I also use one onedrive for cloud sync even though I haven’t touched windows in a while now. but rclone works great on it. 1tb onedrive comes with my business email subscription
I can’t imagine anybody does something else than click randomly, just to make it go away LOL
Yea what do they think will happen, someone will go “you know what maybe I don’t have a good reason to close this”
Just fucking use lInux
I am just going to kill it with task manager at this point
You can actually uninstall it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft being annoying about ads, forced surveys, or pushy polls is nothing new.
These appeared in the guise of ‘notifications’ repeatedly convincing users to start using Microsoft’s services such as OneDrive.
Again, these came in the form of not-so-gentle reminders that insisted you start using, for instance, Microsoft 365.
Every time you quit OneDrive on your PC, you must take a survey on why you chose to close the app.
At the bottom, the usual ‘Cancel’ option would take you back to using this case if you change your mind about closing it.
I’m sure that Microsoft hopes data from these surveys will have some value in helping improve the OneDrive experience.
The original article contains 255 words, the summary contains 112 words. Saved 56%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is typical of Windows. They been much do anything they want to on your PC. This is why I usedlinux and have not looked back.
i like to not have things like this
I don’t get this prompt at all on any device. Sometimes I think these articles are just rage bait for Linux fanboys

These were discontinued. And iirc the dual screen ones ran Android
