OneDrive is soooooooooooooooooooooo slow!
It's most likely done on purpose by Microsoft to prevent existing customers from switching to other means of storage. This means one who solely relies on OneDrive couldn't just buy a hard drive and stop their subscription without having to go through this tedious process of downloading all your files onto your already storage-limited device, let alone at a painfully slow speed. Hence most would not be bothered and would just continue using OneDrive.
That makes absolutely zero sense. Making storage slow encourages people not to use it.

Making it impossibly slow to remove your content to force you to stay is what he's saying. And it makes perfect sense if you're not a shill. I just want download speed more than 1% of my capability, nd every service but OneDrive gives me that.
