i’m baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they’ll never see? do they even know this is what’s happening?

It’s not just some drive, it’s one drive!
do they even know this is what’s happening?
Take a wild guess…
Your average pc/tech user is so far removed from having or needing any tech knowledge. Convenience is everything. As long as it works, who cares how it works… and that’s how we ended up with basically everyone walking around with devices in our pockets that can track our location in real time, have microphones which are always on and listening, with cameras that point directly at our faces when we use said devices.
Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don’t put sensitive information on there.
why would i trust a company with my files when i can simply make my own backups on my own disks without having to pay ransome (subscription) to access my things
My own disks won’t survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren’t accessible when I’m not home. I don’t need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.

No, cause it’s my work computer and I don’t give a fuck what IT does as long as I have a backup of my stuff
Some employees create sym links in their OneDrive folder back to other folders… Instant VC for all those pesky junk files
