Fun fact: Microsoft will try to guess your passwords to open and scan your encrypted archives when uploaded to OneDrive.

Microsoft also hands your BitLocker recovery keys to the government on request.

Microsoft also uses your local machine’s GDID to deanonymize and track you across the internet for the government.

These are paid surveillance services Microsoft provides to the government, paid for by your tax dollars. No wonder they desperately want to force you to use OneDrive.

Wow, that’s how it managed to find “malware” (not actual malware) in a password protected rar that I shared

To be fair, a lot of platforms just flag any encrypted archive file (not just rar) as malware. Their argument is that those files are commonly used to get past malware detection, which is kinda true. Still a pain for everyone who has a legitimate need for the feature.
