Wait, people have one drive installed?
Yea. I use it daily so I can share files between my PCs without any thought.
You can use Samba, its built into windows to locally share a file to another conputer ovet LAN

It's simply what allows a web browser to run so it can act as an OS.
Shout out to Kera desktop
Well, at least it's not ChromeOS. Yet.
One drive crashes every computer I work on. I thought it was just a problem with the computer I was using at the time, but my computer got upgraded to another, and it stopped for awhile and then the computer started crashing again.
Then I moved offices, and my OneDrive seems to have infected the new one, since as soon as I started using it, the other person who uses it said it started crashing. And then it started crashing for me. And the other person figured out if he closes One Drive right at startup, there are no problems. I did the same, and no problems. But the second the computer automatically starts One Drive (like if I try to open anything from TEAMS), the whole computer crashes.
One Drive is a goddamn plague.
@weird Same here, and although Linux is my daily driver, I do have a Windows VM and a dual boot that I use for gaming, but on those I create my accounts without a Microsoft account by removing the network connectivity first, and then if they get one drive installed anyway, I de-install it.
I never really had an issue with OneDrive, it was always better than Google Drive and those are about the only two that offer decent support for things like Excel if I for some reason need to do a quick edit I can do it in the browser and otherwise I can just use the desktop applications.
Luckly there is a way to get OneDrive on Linux, heck pretty sure you can still mount the thing as a network drive if you really want to.
Windows is just crap with their BitLocker being default, needing an account AND making it really hard to remove secondairy or tertiary accounts that you might have used for something somewhere.
I switched to Linux mint and the only things I miss is that LibreOffice is just missing some features compared to MSOffice and that Proton doesn't have a desktop app for Linux. I don't even care that I lose some performance because of my Nvidia GPU.
They are not mutually exclusive. You can point OneDrive at any folder.
