    Dropbox had the first mover advantage. Onedrive lagged behind it for years. You can argue it still does.

      OneDrive is so fucking confusing to administrator.

      The files exist on your physical drive …except it doesn’t?

      You can’t remove the files…except when it does it on its own.

      You can’t move a file without some sort of synching issue.

      You can’t fucking disable it without going into the registry!

      I legit tried it in the early days of Win10 and it was a nightmare. I literally had to reinstall Windows and disable it upfront before things worked the way I expected.

        going to “C:\Users\user\Documents” in explorer, vs just typing in “documents”. One takes you to your documents folder, which will be empty, the other takes you to some other path from onedrive
