    The nagging to pay for the OneDrive subscription is something I would only see on trashy websites full of ads. I guess that’s what Windows has become.

      I figured to turn on one drive for my business user account as I was using two computers.

      Then I decided, that I didn’t want it to sync the documents folder since I don’t really use it.

      The settings told me that it can’t stop syncing the desktop, pictures, or documents folders because they had critical files or something like that.

      I just signed out of OneDrive and the problem was solved.

      If it was so critical why does everything work after signing out?

      I fucking hate using windows.

      Google is the same. Every time I open the stock gallery app instead of the FOSS one it nags me to enable backups for my photos. And I know if I do I will be forced to pay their subscription.

        Well you won’t be forced, but they will take your gmail hostage since all Gapps share the same 15gb now.
