OneDrive has stopped working on non-NTFS drives
-
OneDrive users around the world have been upset to discover that with its latest update, Microsoft's cloud file syncing and storage system no longer works with anything other than disks formatted with the NTFS file system. Both older file systems, such as FAT32 and exFAT, and newer ones, such as ReFS, will now provoke an error message when OneDrive starts up.

Ha. . .
On a side note ransomware would have a great time with this. . .

Old FAT systems should really affect no one. But ReFS is pretty surprising.

I have been a long time Google Drive user, but I have recently started using OneDrive because I was running low on my GDrive space. It amazes me how terrible OneDrive is in comparison to Gdrive.

Or, you know, compared to anything.

Right. Even compared to my own hosted Nextcloud

Sigh
More evidence that Microsoft have no idea what they are doing.November 2015 They trumpeted that they were going to reduce your storage back to 5GB removing the camera roll bonus, and reducing the free tier from 15GB... unless you clicked a button.
Now they are dictating what you can store your stuff on. I know it's their service that they're offering and I don't have to use it but good grief, it's almost like they're doing a photobucket.
