Genuine question - why block onedrive if you are licensed for it?

    Because it makes its own damn file paths as default and tries to put everything in rnr cloud causing people to lose track of files

    I hated that shit at my last job. Constantly trying to save shit locally only to realize I accidentally saved something on the cloud.

    I have a hard drive you fucks. I want to point there by default. No I don't want you reading all my shit.

    IIRC there is a way to turn off auto sync in OneDrive app (while also making all the synced files offline), but it's somehow not that apparent

    I used to have this in my precious work. It drove me nuts, because single sync error could fuck up files and make them disappear like they would be deleted

    That was a year ago and i didn't touch Windows since, so correct me if i'm wrong

    And break applications that made the weird assumption that a file just saved was accessible where it was saved. My solution (after a wtf moment because it wasn't obvious what was going on) was to try to pull it locally, then use the OneDrive path to pull it.

    Except that didn't work either. I guess scripts pulling from the cloud looks like a security issue.

    So I just reverted back to the user doing saving and loading manually. Can't have nice things.

    I don't handle licensing, so don't know how that portion is setup exactly... but from the actual use standpoint... we don't need or want anything to sync with third party cloud services unless absolutely necessary.

    We have 5 properties across the state and operate our own redundant file servers and synchronous connections. We don't need or want cloud backup, it just adds additional complications and failure points. Not to mention opening up yet another possible attack vector.
