On a desktop. Just the downloading, I mean, I can still send it to Drive from my phone, but downloading it from my desktop browser isn't a simple click-to-download operation anymore (unless I disable AdBlock). I haven't put, well, any effort into fixing it because I don't care that much, now I just go back to either emailing myself the photo or plugging the phone in.

Yeah. All the cloud solutions are a bit clunky in their own way.
I tend to use Google photos for phone to desktop stuff but that can be messy for sharing with other people or apps.
If its just sharing a few photos I use WhatsApp (because I'm in the UK and I've never met anyone who doesn't use it here apart from my mum).
For my mum I have to print them out, put them in an envelope and post them!
 
i came to say "as little as possible", when i then realized i use google drive. as little as possible.

it's not that i don't trust cloud services, it's that i have no use for them.
 
Reading some of the responses in here makes me wonder... how many of you sign into Windows with a live account?

In regard to OneDrive, I don't use it. I do have Dropbox, but I don't really put stuff on it. In the past, I've tried to use it for game save syncs for games that don't support Steam Cloud, but it can be quite a hassle. I recall trying it with World of Final Fantasy, but I had to be careful not to include the settings file as the screen resolution differs across on my machines.

I sign in with a Microsoft account purely because they made it a hassle to just use a local account (and/or some nagging about an MS account).

I recall one of the recent (major?) updates essentially resetting Windows to force it to run the start-up configuration, which asks you to create a Microsoft account.

I used to use the Microsoft account for login, but I recall there being some issue that I ran into. I think it was related to network storage or possibly trying to remotely access a computer using the account.
 
I use mega for work. I sync files from the server to my workstation, and from there to mega. That way I have access to my stuff in the field. If not for that, I wouldn't have a lot of use for "cloud" storage.
 
Reading responses here I may need to try OneDrive. Would be great if we got 1TB per PC and could set up auto image backup.
 
Why would I want strangers and algorithms snooping around my files? Can someone explain the benefits to that?

For that reason, I uninstalled it a long time ago in a galaxy far away.
 
Should start stuffing a bunch of encrypted cat pictures on there. Since they're giving this space for free and data mining the hell out of my life whether or not I use it, may as well use it. 😛
