Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why (www.techspot.com)

When Windows users suddenly discover that their files have vanished from their desktops after interacting with OneDrive, the issue often stems from how Microsoft's cloud service integrates with the operating system. The automatic, near-invisible shift to cloud-based storage has triggered strong reactions from users who find the feature unintuitive and, in some cases, destructive to their local files.

I thought I was going insane. I have been losing files frequently, but have a detailed file tree and I'm diligent about naming and saving versions.

I still don't know how it works. I have files from 2015 there I don't remember about.
