Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage service is installed on your PC by default, and it can cause some trouble when playing PC games on multiple devices.
I’ve been complaining about this for years now. Windows even has a library for saved games and some games even used that but for some braindead reason, they just don’t anymore (and not many did). My documents folder is useless for documents, which is one of the many reasons I stopped using Windows for anything but gaming.
What’s almost as annoying though are games that save to appdata. I have lost so many gamesaves that were hidden in the depths of appdata to windows reinstallations while my documents (and “my games” folder) sits securely on a secondary HDD.

Also saving my documents elsewhere (where I know and control where I store it)
