I want to save to the share drive that looks like a regular folder path.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is that not how it works? I could have sworn I had it working that way the last time I used it in 2017. Had it rigged up as the location for Da Vinci Resolve database saves and also as a backup location for an Avid project that automatically copied to that folder every day. Wasn't a fan of OneDrive as I had dropbox personally and didn't want another cloud service where I stored all my data as one was probably bad enough, however the production I was working on had no IT infrastructure and no money and the computer we rented for the production for some reason seemed to offer oneDrive for free with the machine. (Maybe it was something to do with the 365 subscription it had?). On that basis since it was already there I used it and it actually ended up saving our asses later on after some other backup procedures didn't end up being followed as they should have and the piece of shit rental machine totally and catastrophically broke. Still haven't used it since, but I was pretty happy with it at the time and was only able to do all that because it was indeed a regular folder location on the machine that happened to sync with the cloud.

But, cyborg Bill Gates needs your data to survive. You do want him to survive, don’t you?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 0 points 4 months ago

Oh man, the memories… it wasn’t so long after “Best of Both Worlds” aired for the first time, that the Bill Gates of Borg meme was going viral on BBSs and Usenet. Oh how we laughed… and cried, for it was funny but true.

Bill Gates doesn't really do anything at Microsoft anymore

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Nah man I’m pretty mecha-cyborg Bill Gates is running things there.

Damn you’re dense.

Do I look like I know what a OneDrive is?

This is a setting in Excel. But Cloud is the default option.

When are we getting an antitrust for trying to cram down our throats the cloud?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

When there's some semblance of a government that works in the public interest.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Be like the EU, at least in that regard :)

"Your house, ahahah, nice one! By the way, rent is going up. How much was 'your' raise this year?"

[–] Doxatek@mander.xyz 0 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Less than the rate of inflation 😮‍💨 guess I make less this year than last year.

the documents folder on the computer that Microsoft has in your house

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

How much longer till Microsoft uses Windows computers across the world as a botnet. For working on it's AI. Or some other bullshit.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lmao its a matter of time before MS decides they need to DDoS someone so hard their data center explodes and they'll be ready to do it

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Not sure if it's still a thing but I remember they also used windows to distribute updates to other windows PCs in a bittorrent-like fashion.

[–] fluckx@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Blizzard used to do that as well with world of Warcraft updates IIRC ( during vanilla )

[–] shadow@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 4 months ago

They did, and we're really up front about it being an opt-in thing, if I remember correctly. Might have started that easy with Microsoft, too. But they can't resist enshitifying.

And you'll have to pay them a subscription fee to do it. If you don't pay, your computer is bricked.

In 2003 I could have made a living selling subscriptions to 5-GB cloud storage that was tightly integrated into Windows.

I understand why Windows is trying to capture you into it's cloud ecosystem. Just saying that between M$, Apple, and Google you can do some robust backups, basically for free. And if you're worried about privacy, just encrypt.

[–] Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I actually don't hate onedrive that much. I've used it for a while now and it's one of the best ways to just share a folder with some people very easily. And they can even use the desktop app and you can all have a cloud synced folder, it's really convenient for collaborating on projects. I know other things can do this, but few do it as seamlessly.

That said I'm trying pretty hard to ditch it because I hate how Microsoft are just making it the default behaviour without really making it apparent that all your documents just get uploaded to their servers. I hope proton drive gets the features I need soon,.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

It's not about whether the product is good or bad. It's about the way they maliciously and deceptively try to push it on people.

My fetish is sending a document as a copy and then seeing someone edit it in realtime while I’m in it.

Then don't use MS ~~Office~~?

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Have to for school. But you can also just press F12 to open the normal save dialog. (I put my school stuff in one drive anyway, I just want them in folders so I need the normal saving system.)

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Or uninstall one drive. It's not rocket surgery and when done correctly I've never seen it re-enable itself after an update.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 0 points 4 months ago

Even with it removed the save menu on office is a pain.

The moment a lawyer saves their medical records in a way that unintentionally and without their consent uploads them to OneDrive, they have a pretty solid case to charge Microsoft for a HIPAA violation.

[–] ShortFuse@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

HIPAA doesn't even require encryption. It's considered "addressable". They just require access be "closed". You can be HIPAA compliant with just Windows login, event viewer, and notepad.

(Also HIPAA applies to healthcare providers. Adobe doesn't need to follow HIPAA data protection, though they probably do because it's so lax, just because you uploaded a PDF of a medical bill to their cloud.)

Totally feasible to use onedrive.

However I've got no sympathy for even a small business to use IT without someone configuring their system in a way that controls this. A lawyer of all people know that knowledge is worth something.

If that reality isn't depressing enough, there's also Clouds KOTH edit by Aliantos.

the most enraging thing i’ve ever experienced on windows was when they started automatically “off-loading” files on my drive because i was running out of space. what the fuck, fuck you, i needed that, die in a fire and never touch my drive again. if i need more space i will fucking make more space

It's so funny watching people have this problem for a literal decade, and they're still complaining instead of using FOSS.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago (20 children)

This. Straight up this. Just fucking use Linux, it's ready for casual everyday use.

Yall do know we can just disable it right?

[–] statist43@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But we want autosafe, like libreoffice on my desktop.

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ok, but like i can just click a button.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 0 points 4 months ago

Until they push some kind of update that requires you to find where they hid the button* (and it also defaults back to cloud)

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 0 points 4 months ago

I don't think they do, most of the MS doomerism I see implies they probably never tried to turn any of it off. I uninstalled one drive years ago along with turning off the ads and telemetry and its all stayed that way ever since, but I keep getting told all of it will be back with the next update. I update when it prompts me to and it never undoes my settings.
