Some background on me, I’m big on data privacy, I’ve stripped out a lot of services which harvest data and sell it. The last scummy bastion is Google Drive and Google Docs. I make use for G-Drive for backup redundancy and accessing things from any where, especially on my phone. Spreadsheet of my favorite horror movies, or a list of Genesis or PS1 games I’m still hunting for, stuff like that.

So my question is, would OneDrive and M365 Personal paid subscriptions work for my use case? Anyone here have experience using those services?

    OneDrive is among the most unreliable pieces of software I’ve ever seen.

    It behaves erratic and unpredictably. Its credential manager resembles a blind monkey with Down syndrome that snorts coke to wake up. Webclient is slow, with UI resembling times of Netscape Navigator.

    tl;dr: I’d rather put all files on a thumbdrive and travel to wherever they are needed, than rely on Onedrive.

    As for M365 - plenty of good applications there. Using them daily.
