i'm baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they'll never see? do they even know this is what's happening?
Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don't put sensitive information on there.
why would i trust a company with my files when i can simply make my own backups on my own disks without having to pay ransome (subscription) to access my things
My own disks won't survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren't accessible when I'm not home. I don't need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.
Not shilling but this is exactly why 3rd party services like iDrive are good: Cloud backup but you have the choice of keeping your own encryption key.
Apple, M$, Google, are all like "just trust me bro BTW a big chunk of our business is data sales" lol
