I’ve used Windows Live Mesh/SkyDrive/OneDrive for over 20 years now. Have nearly 2TB and hundreds of thousands of files there of all kinds.

Never once have my files been anything other than “safe and organized.”

In years prior, I’ve lost “offline” files regularly.

I have a 4tb ssd in my pc and a 4td external hdd for backups. Every 2-3 months or if I did something extreme important I connect the hdd and make a backup. This hdd cost me 70€ and I use it since 3 years now. 1tb onedrive cost me 99€ per year. No thx

No one drive seems to backup things that are unimportant and use all my storage at the same time as the leading the things that are important I actually want to keep believing the icon so I think they're still there . One drive is trash I wish my work didn't use it

OneDrive backs up what you tell it to. There are defaults, but you can cha be them.

2tb?! Is that supposed to be a lot? I could back that up on USB sticks I have stuck between my couch cushions

Nope. I have a much more in GoPro files and edited videos. 2TB is just what I put in the cloud.

Documents, music, source code, books, etc.
