Onedrive is Microsoft's attempt to make Home Windows users a revenue source by making it a subscription service. This has been SOP in smart phones for a decade now.
Makes me wonder if there is something in the terms that allows them to use documents stored on onedrive to train AI. Adobe is doing the same bullshit and keeps pushing you to send PDFs as Adobe cloud links instead of directly attaching the file to an email. They're doing everything they can to get your data on their servers.
We're no longer the customer. We're the product.
You can disable the Outlook addon that nags you about Adobe cloud, btw. Small part of the puzzle, but it helps.
Most likely, there is. In very small print.
With a sign saying beware of the leopard?
I don't think they bother with fine print anymore
