Yeah, I removed OneDrive at least twice and they "accidentally" reinstalled and reactivated it on two updates.

The second time I found out about it because I got a warning that they had uploaded too many of my files against my consent, my allotted cloud storage was full, and if I wanted access to my files I had to pay up.

I removed it again, then there was another update. Guess whose files "accidentally" got held for ransom again?

Now I'm on Linux.

Easier yo ask forgiveness than permission.
