Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.

    Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain’t it?

    I’ve been reading " Windows 11 does this and that without asking your permission." Almost daily now. I wonder when Windows 11 will fingerbang my SO without permission next.

    Wouldn’t be so bad if onedrive backup didn’t completely restructure your folders so it can back shit up. I hate that it moves your main folders to the OneDrive folder. It creates so many issues.

      You should try moving the OneDrive folder after setup for a complete shitshow. Even Microsoft products fail to read and write to the right places. If I save from word to my documents folder it never appears in OneDrive but in a separate documents folder under my user profile. Luckily OneDrive hides this from normal explorer so you can’t find that file using that
