What a long winded way to tell us something we already know: don't use onedrive.

    They weren't using OneDrive either

    Clearly they were, even if accidentally. It currently doesn't load stuff to the internet if it doesn't have an account to bill for storage.

    I believe the last time I had to do a Windows re-install, I was nagged THREE times to enable OneDrive. Each time, the opt out button was increasingly difficult to locate, and the verbiage more & more resembling "you're an idiot if you don't enable this".

    Even after refusing to use it x3, once Windows was installed, OneDrive was still sitting down in the system tray, ready to fuck shit up.
