I also don't know if I'm correct in <u>believing what I'm seeing</u>.

Microsoft OneDrive attempted to "back up" all my computer files. When it had '''''moved''''' 5 gigs of files to OneDrive, it requested that I "Upgrade" or "Free Up Space". When I tried to disable OneDrive, it removed all my files from my desktop & I had to copy all the files ''from'' OneDrive to get them back onto my PC. I am now in the process of backing up all my files '''''FROM''''' One Drive '''''TO''''' my external SSD so they don't get deleted when I remove OneDrive from my computer. My files are getting corrupted in the process (I was not aware that OneDrive would do this. I did not opt-in to OneDrive using my data. I believe they are staggering the implementation of this new "feature" (backing up all computer files without user knowledge, notification, or consent), ''allegedly'' to stop backlash from consumers.
