The best part is I think it replaced the user libraries folder with OneDrive without asking. If you disable OneDrive it could delete the files off your computer or dump it into the root home folder for that user. It did that when I used it last at least.
This sort of happened to me at work. We got a new laptop amidst a massive time crunch, and didnāt configure anything before installing our instrumentās software and getting to work. At the time, we didnt have a paid 365 account or anything, so we were just saving data in folders on the desktop at first. A couple months later, all the files, folders and launchers on the desktop disappeared, replaced by a single icon called āwhere are my filesā. It was a web link that directed us to buy 365 or else lose all our filesā¦that we thought we were saving LOCALLY.
We all have our limits, I bailed out as soon as Linux supported a good amount of games. I wanted to get out before I got burned.
