I deeply hate Microsoft, and most modern commercial software design, but OneDrive has consistently been the best app I've ever used for large file storage. Can anyone explain why they hate it so much? I have near instantaneous access to my documents on my computer and phone. I've been considering a move to Mint, but I like OneDrive so much I'm not sure that I want to lose it.
The web version is awful, absurdly cumbersome to navigate, difficult to search, confusingly structured, slow and just generally terrible.
The native version was forced onto people's Windows machines and automatically configured to sync people's local desktop and documents to Microsoft's servers without explicit consent, so some of the hate directed towards Onedrive might be an expressions of hate of Microsoft's abusive and deceptive behavior. But even if the Onedrive app itself is amazing (I don't know if it is), installing anything from such an untrustworthy company seems like a bad idea.
if you want to use onedrive ok thats a choice, if its impossible to store locally, and you have the sword of deletecles hanging over your head, thats not a choice, thats a consequence.
