I have no use for OneDrive. I back up to external hard drives.

OneDrive by design (while a space for storage) primary purpose is a
vehicle for storing pictures, videos and simple documents for sharing
files via links for a given MSFT account across multiple devices.

I have no use for that either.

Don't recall it ever being marketed as a backup source in lieu of local
or external media.

I have.


If you have it, I'd like to see those specifics.
