I love my jobs implementation of onedrive. It copies files from my hardrive, erases the local copy, and then loses the remote version.

Microsoft ate my homework

Just activate the option to keep a local copy, right click the folder your files are in and choose "keep local copy"

You say this like it makes sense that this functionality isn't the default. Why the fuck does that make sense to you?!

"your administrator has restricted your ability to change this setting"

This sounds like a problem I'm too Linux to understand

I recently wasted multiple evenings going through this with my partner's photos on both OneDrive and Google. It was a nightmare, trying to disentangle their systems from the cloud, and delete stuff from the cloud (they were hitting the free quotas, which was causing problems) without also deleting that content locally.

I ended up doing a full backup from the cloud to an external drive and unplugging it just to be sure, then carefully using the awful web interfaces to delete a bunch of photos and videos from the cloud after deactivating all the auto-backup "options", which is apparently the only way to do it without also wiping your local media. There doesn't seem to be any way to do it while using the "service" normally on the device; any attempt to delete from the cloud will also delete your local copy.

People have called me paranoid for seeking out and removing/deactivating these "services" with extreme prejudice on my own devices, but this experience was even worse than I'd imagined.

I remember having a 90$ Android phone that was also loaded with bloatware.

I'd like to find a phone that isn't, mine is certainly full of crap I don't want.
