Microsoft warns millions of Windows users: you could lose all your data

Turning on the Windows 11 operating system is always a surprise, you may end up with some kind of full screen, notification, alert, or even some unexpected update, and soon there will be another surprise related to OneDrive.

Windows 11 It usually launches a multitude of reminders to use its applications such as the Edge browser or Microsoft 365, among others, and soon it will also recommend OneDrive.

We may soon have to deal with a new full-screen pop-up window inviting us to back up our files, which may launch automatically and randomly when we start our computer.

This pop-up promotes OneDrive, and recommends installing this app “to back up your desktop, documents, and pictures folders to the cloud, so you can rest assured that they’re protected, even if something happens to this computer.”

However, those at Redmond take full advantage of this pop-up, highlighting four advantages of activating OneDrive in Windows 11:

• Protect a lifetime of memories—your files and photos stay safe with OneDrive cloud storage.
• Easily collaborate with friends and family – share files and edit seamlessly together so everyone is on the same page.
• All your information, when and where you need it: Your documents, desktop, and pictures folders will be backed up to OneDrive, so they’re available everywhere.
• File changes are updated automatically: Files are automatically synced in the background, so you always have the latest version on your PC.

This pop-up window offers two options such as “next” and “skip for now”.

If you click “next” the Windows Backup app will open and immediately begin syncing files to OneDrive. If you click “skip for now” you will be taken to the desktop.

Even if you hit “ignore for now,” this is a temporary option, and you will receive this OneDrive pop-up again in a few days or weeks.

It should be noted that OneDrive’s free storage It is limited to 5GB onlyso if you want to use this application for backup, you will have to pay and buy additional storage.
