I do not use a microsoft account on my laptop. I tried it and I didn't like it (don't remember why). I never use the "store" .

Hi chaley, Do you trust dropbox to never sync old over new or do you also have a local folder backup plan. I cant get past the risk of sync damage if ever a drive needs replacing from an out of date system image. I have just been googling how onedrive handles that scenario , driveimage restore ,and do not find reassurance, rhe restored image can be treated as newer than cloud,and so propogated to all machines?
