Does anyone seriously use Microsoft OneDrive for backup?

It's 300,000 file limit means pretty much no developer would risk it considering the thousands of files in a typical app.

Believe me when OneDrive lost a heap of my files this year I was not impressed to learn of this serious limitation. To be fair GoogleDrive and DropBox also have similar limitations.

Azure Storage on the other hand doesn't have the limitation, is much cheaper and much faster. It's UI sux though.

I'm still searching for a reasonable cloud backup solution. Until then cheap external drives are the answer.

Wait, so I can just run a little script that creates 400k useless files in the first directory it crawls, and then my data is safe from embezzlement?

i was unaware about the limitation. the experience sucks too much to put that limit to test as it is.
