If you have critical files, you should always keep a hard copy in a safe place, then save a copy to your computer, then back up. No storage medium is 100% safe.
Too each his own.
We agree on most things. I have had optical discs fail on me, too. However, I stopped buying bargain discs and that solved the problem. Not everything can be stored in a hard copy.
Many reasons for failures. When I get SSD, I usually go for reliable ones, and it was suggested to me to get Samsung. However, I try to back the contents up somewhere, and preferably on optical or hard drives. If the electronics die on hard drives, there are ways to recover the data from them, albeit expensive ways.The SSD gods just don't like you

I almost lost many photos and documents when we had that major flood in Toronto about 10 years ago. Today, all my important files have been scanned and stored in multiple drives. I even go so far as keeping the very important files on a USB drive in my safety deposit box. The physical photos and files are kept in Ziploc bags and stored in plastic bins.
Exactly. It's a bad idea to cheap out on computer parts like SSDs, ram, etc. that you're going to use for years maybe decades. They might be expensive up front, but that's the cost you pay for reliability. Buy it right or buy it twice.
Try this help fileCan anybody tell me where the New Folder or Upload option is lately on OneDrive? I cannot find it!
I also unsync OneDrive as it automatically points to your Desktop, Documents and Pictures. So annoying.
Athough that said, my mini Windows PC Stick, just died suddenly. And I lost all my documents on it. None of it was synced. Thankfully they were not that important.

Upload and save files and folders to OneDrive - Microsoft Support
Training: How to save and upload files and folders to OneDrive in your browser or on your desktop.
I think you have to pick your OneDrive sync folder when you install the software. You should be able to change it after the fact though.
If you buy a MS 365 Personal edition for 79 bucks a year, you get 1 TB on OneDrive.
LOL, software companies are like that. If you think MS has bad UI design, you should try the Adobe Creative Cloud apps where each app is totally different even if you want to do the same thing.
It's funny when people talk about Bill because he'left MS about 15 years ago. I think he left the board too.
I think ultimately the conclusion to all of this is: Cloud storage is great.

No it is not... It is doing exactly what it is suppose to do which is to act as an offsite backup. Or the other case usage would be for it to act as a central repository in the cloud for multiple computer device access.
Yup. And that's chump change out of a business budget. But I don't really need that much. I just need to be more careful about transferring old stuff to external storage drives.
If you get the 1TB thing, you wont need the external storage that you have to otherwise lug around and make sure you dont lose. OneDrive has the Personal Vault where you can store sensitive documents too. Just saying.
