    It's one of those things that people probably wouldn't complain about or even notice if it actually worked properly, but as it stands it's just pure enshittification.

      I literally just made a new documents folder called something else to avoid confusion. In addition to excising OneDrive from every new Windows install.

      Another problem with that is that audio software like sample-based virtual instruments store all the data in the documents folder, which quickly takes up any cloud space I had. That clearly belongs in some sort of app data folder, but that hasn't been the guidance from Microsoft to developers.

        Everything uses the documents folder because everything on windows is a backwards-compatible pile of spaghetti.

        Games even use the "Documents" folder instead of the "My Games" folder, or .../%appdata/local. There is soft-guidance from Microsoft, but it's not really enforced, and idk what the APIs are like for saving stuff.
