Microsoft halts Onedrive support on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1

Another reason for older system to upgrade to linux

 

What, and give up OneDrive for Nextcloud, Syncthing, Owncloud or whatever open source software solutions?
Not gonna happen, I am not giving up my data mining, privacy invasive BSOD ridden OS for Linux. No sir, I like being punished, mocked and laugh at and paying for it.

 

Finally! It was so frustrating to get rid of it at every new Windows install

 

Never thought I was ever going to say this but thank you Micro$oft!

 

you can actually use onedrive in linux.

 

Sshh, don't let them know.j

 

Never liked the idea of one drive. Am selective in backups and dont appreciate an app scouring my folders or drives for things to upload when changes detected.

 

Not like you can control what i scans and up/downloads....

Not much difference from using iCloud, Google Drive and so on either.

I have experienced what can happen the hard way when using old backup methods instead, but each to their own I guess.

 

never liked one drive or the fact it installed ran by defualt... not really fan of cloud storage either. I use but I use from google drive. but there ZERO on cloud that mean anything to me it just randon pictures and wallpapers i collected over decades that. so there is nothing personal on them.

There also all saved on HDD i have for external backups. is just easier to get the wallpapers back from cloud then digging out the hdd and it this stuff is also on my game/data ssd too. so i have bac up of backups

 

Wasnt one drive integration part of Windows 8.1? given its not EOL seems dodgy.
