Microsoft OneDrive is such a pain to work with.
In addition to Microsoft being able to look at an analyze your files, the syncing and interface for working with OneDrive is confusing.
I'm helping get a customer's data off one drive and saved locally. There's not enough room on his little HP Stream laptop (only 64GB of storage that is not replaceable or upgradeable).
There's no way to just download all the files from the web interface. Have to jump through hoops to manually set the OneDrive folder to an external drive and then force OneDrive to download all the files to that. But it'll crash if uploading and downloading at the same time and it is making " - Copy" versions of all the files and uploading with no way to stop it that I can see.
So I have to wait.
Please don't use OneDrive. Save yourself some headache.
