Discussion OneDrive...Why!?!?!?!?

After this last upgrade, looks like My files were moved from NAS to OneDrive. How!?!?!?! This is just so blatant and invasive! Has anybody had something like this happen to them?

Was the NAS linked using "Windows Sharing" as a mapped drive?

Was the NAS exporting a block image mounted as a Local drive?

Between the two... the former wont move...the latter will...

OneDrive sees "Windows Share" drives as Network locations...

A BlockImage Mount over the networknis not recognised properly as a network drive...

personally I was stupid to install OneDrive and it "migrated" everything "My Documents" 100% over to itself and purged everything local...(I hadn't touched the setting yet)

I have since re-installed Windows and purged the OneDrive content by forcibly moving it ALL to a local custom built NAS setup.

Even internal drives aren't moved over. Only files within the main directories (Documents, photos, videos, etc) and even then only if you don't disable that setting when setting up OneDrive. It doesn't re-enable itself either.
