> MS can always put in hooks that makes it easy for them to exfiltrate specific data

MS can issue an update any day to just copy all drives you currently have attached to Azure, if we're going to put on our tin foil hats.



Er, isn't that how onedrive works? It's not a "tin foil hat" move to point out that that's exactly what does happen to users who aren't paying attention and opting out, and it's equally valid to extrapolate that they might continue similar behaviors with new features.


No, OneDrive doesn't upload all data from all attached drives.


You're right, it only started uploading people's most important data without clear and deliberate setup, not all their data.

That's more than enough to make these worries not tinfoil hat.
