When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft’s cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.

      sigh I know. It’s my boss that implemented the policy… But it was after she audited password ages and a dictionary and found that CompanyName123 was universal and for years at a stretch.

        Ah, such nostalgia. I used a complex password until they forced monthly resets on us and I forgot mine a few times. After that, “FuckingPassword1”, “FuckingPassword2”, FuckingPassword3" etc with a mysterious post-it note on my table with a single number. Very memorable, still remember it well after a decade.
