Ah good riddance to Onedrive; even though I believe these acts are totally meant to ruin MS and harm US.

How many examples of corporate double speak do you need before you believe that Microsoft does not have you, the customer, in mind when it makes these changes?

It is the people who had inexpensive systems, with low memory, that were using the free storage with exFat formated SD cards (cheap solution)… who have the least resources to begin with and find it the hardest to recover… like survivors of domestic violence that are using older, donated equipment after losing everything they once had… obviously they don’t matter…let them eat cake (upgrade)…

Just saying…

A good excuse to switch to “OwnCloud” (http://owncloud.org). Create your own cloud, cross platform (Android, IOS, Windows, Linux), better control of your files, less worry about someone looking at your stuff, and free! It’s certainly a better option than depending on the whims of Microsoft.

Last I saw one drive was using some weird NTFS features for files which were online only (not downloaded locally). Made for some odd data recovery, and possibly was NTFS only feature.

I think ReFS is as abandoned now (because current microsoft doesn’t know how to code, only market — and poorly) just like the XML based file system for Vista was abandoned when they found out it was 500+ times slower than NTFS (coded by real MS coders back in the day).
