OneDrive has multiple settings. There's an OPTION in it for "Sync your files to this PC", which downloads the files from the cloud and keeps them on your local drive.
"Otherwise, check the individual folders you wish to sync and uncheck any folders you do not want synced. Any folders you leave unchecked will remain on OneDrive but will be removed from your current PC."
You have to tell it you want your friggin files to stay local; else they go up into the cloud and you lose access to them without an internet connection.
You'd never believe how much crap I've lost with that dumb ass design! One PC syncs this... another doesn't... let's clean it from this one, as it's backed up on the other... WTF?? OneDrive cleaned it off both -- even the NOT synced one?? WTF do you mean a Winblows update altered those settings automatically, without telling me?
WTF did I ever try and use OneDrive??
Now all my crap backs up to my home network drive, while staying on my local PCs, and I only toss crap up on OneDrive manually, to share via links on forums and such.
Most evil, worthless, shitty app MS puts out there, in my opinion. /blarf!
