If you start uploading data to your cloud without my clear consent, I already see a very big problem with your product.

If you even substitute the directories in my computer (a standard that was untouched for the last 20 years) in a way to force my stuff into your cloud, then there’s a much bigger problem.

Managers who approved this should be thrown out of the company because this is clearly how NOT to make a product.
