It feels like you're trying to force your customers to change their workflows and business processes to better suit your revenue models, no matter how detrimental those changes are to us. Especially those of us who are unable to obtain internet connections with good upload speeds.
Now, that take could just be my natural cynicism for most things capitalism...but OneDrive didn't have the issues before y'all changed the storage model, and there are multiple examples of cloud storage clients that don't have the troublesome behaviours extant in the market today.
