The problem is Microsoft shoving it down our throats and making saving to local FS as cumbersome as possible.

I wouldn't have minded Onedrive, in fact I would have used it a lot more, if it just showed up as an external mounted drive in Explorer where I could just paste files and folders I want shared or backed up. But nope, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom just have to sync up my entire home directory by default and have Office/365 only save docs and sheets to cloud by default. No thank you.

Agreed, I'd even be more inclined to use the Web versions, which are inherently tethered to OneDrive in Linux if the boundaries were better respected... I want an explicit spot backed up, maybe with the option to sync other directories. I don't want to be tricked or forced into it... or see a windows update change the configuration on me.
