Beware the new Mac update for IOS 12.2 – Microsoft OneDrive Review

I was a happy user of OneDrive for years and relied on it to backup my hard drive. So, I was surprised to see that the files on my computer had been removed by the latest OneDrive for Mac update to “save space on my hard drive”, something I did not need and CERTAINLY did not want. In fact, cloud-only storage was the new default. When I restored my files to my hard drive, a time consuming and difficult process, my financial files (Banktivity app) were corrupted. I have gone back to iCloud with Time Machine backup and will minimize my use of OneDrive. Regrettably, Office 365 insists on restricting autosave to OneDrive, tying the products together, but at least I have Time Machine in place now. I really thought Microsoft had made progress over the years in being more user centric, but this decision is a big step in the wrong direction.
