    Onedrive has been known to just randomly break programs like razer synapse and plenty of other things, and also reinstalling itself for no reason. A friend had a game running at 20fps and it was a known issue that onedrive caused it. I would prefer to have things autosave without using something that is acting indistinguishable from a virus.

      Never heard of that. The only thing I can imagine that might happen here is Synapse dropping off its config files in Documents, the file getting kicked off to the cloud (after a device switch/OS reinstall, by the user or via space-saving logic due to long time of not being used), and then Synapse trying to interact with the placeholder file. Literally nothing else could affect it.

      Also, using any Razer software as an argument against other software is… brave.

      Would love to read more about it because it sounds completely ridiculous. Unless the game constantly overwrites files in OneDrive sync’d folders, which would trigger a non-stop sync, I guess?

      This sentence goes super hard if you have no clue what a virus is.
