    As a reminder, you can always just uninstall OneDrive and call it a day.

    Isn’t apple doing the same?

    Designed to fill the 5gb immediately so you’re going to buy more cloud space immediately

    When I had an iPhone, there was an annoying red dot on the settings icon “warning, you didn’t enable cloud backups for photos”, and if you enabled it become an annoying red dot “warning you ran out of iCloud space”

      There’s always the option to store things locally. You want to get fancy, you can set up a NAS for remote access.

      Saying “isn’t X also doing Y” implies the behaviour itself isn’t the problem, when it is. Doesn’t matter who’s using dark patterns for rent-seeking; it matters that we’ve normalized it.

    Brb uploading a 5GiB file from /dev/urandom to make sure there isn’t a byte of space left in OneDrive for them to do this to me.
