Serious question:? Why?? I'm not asking you to justify your decision, but I'm always interested in people's rationales when it comes to things like this, particularly where intense dislike is involved.

?

I still use Google Drive a lot mostly for things like the tutorials I write because I expect that my Google Accounts will still be around long after I'm dead and gone unless someone who's settling my estate were to delete them (which I won't be directing them to) while my OneDrive data will go with me after my death because I won't be paying for the service to continue.

?

But one thing I love about OneDrive (and it's not really a OneDrive feature, but what third parties have elected to do with OneDrive sharing links) is that sharing links are almost always presented as the file or folder name of the thing being shared when pasted into messages such as this one.? A good example of that being the screenshot I used in the tutorial the other day that shows the bottom of the Subscription Cancellation window for Microsoft Family 365.? I didn't create the hyperlink to the file, , myself.? I just pasted in the OneDrive sharing link and the Groups.io software snagged the actual filename and hyperlinked it automatically.? I'm seeing that happen all over the place when it comes to online venues and OneDrive sharing links.? Why most of them did not and do not do this for other file sharing services including but not limited to Dropbox and Google Drive I do not know.? But when I'm sharing a file from Google Drive I end up manually creating a download link and then using that to manually create the hyperlink with the name/description of the thing being linked to.? It's a far more tedious process (which is why I have an MS-Word file where I keep the hyperlinks I've created, adding new ones over time, so I only have to do this once).
