Thanks Leo for making us aware how cloud storage works. You only forgot one topic to mention: when the cloud company looses your data, it will sync to the cloud directory on the PC and the data is lost there too. And it actually happened to OneDrive a couple of years ago. That means a local backup is advised.
3-2-1 backup is always recommended meaning three copies of your important data, stored on two different types of media, with one copy kept off-site (cloud).
You may have missed one point on the question about multiple versions. I previously had backup software, I think for Western Digital, that allowed you to select how many copies of a file the backup software would retain before the deleted the oldest version. I really liked this feature because it allowed you to not discover a corrupt file or that you deleted the file until a latter time, because you still had several older versions that were good. Unfortunately they stopped supporting this software. This feature was automatic so you did not have it remember to save a new version (continuous backup of changes). I wish I could find the feature again. Thanks for your great videos, I look forward to receiving them.
Thanks Leo ! I don't mind Onedrive, but I detest how it overtakes the user profile, most users don't know it's doing this then all of a sudden Onedrive is over quota. I wish it worked a little more like Dropbox and created a separate folder. Also if there's a large .pst file in Documents, if the user downloads even a single message the whole .pst file has to sync. If that file is 5 Gb, well you know the rest ! 😮
I'd like to see the UNDO function work last more than just the current session of working on the document. Example: I do some work and save the doc and close the program.the re open the file and still have the ability to undo something when I last saved it, then you wouldn't need to keep several versions of the file
Most of us without giving second thoughts keep our data in sync between PC and cloud. As you have pointed out it is the same one place although appears on multiple devices and the cloud. This means we don't have a backup. Question is realistically what are the chances of things going wrong with current setup i.e. current setup sans physical backup?
When "always keep on this PC" is selected, two files. Otherwise one, in the cloud, until you try to use it on the PC, in which case it's downloaded and you are back to having two.

Always.

As always, very helpfunctie. Thanks, Leo!

Thanks, Leo. Very helpful.😊
A conceptual question: are there two files - one on cloud and one on PC - and they remain in sync, or is it one file - accessible from cloud or PC?
When "always keep on this PC" is selected, two files. Otherwise one, in the cloud, until you try to use it on the PC, in which case it's downloaded and you are back to having two.
Very cool video
Use Dark Theme in Windows please. I hate the blasting white colors especially when Im watching this video on a TV 65" inches 😁
People confuse Sync vs Backup
👍
What does in synch mean? One could say they are a boy band. NSYNC.
If A and B are in sync, then when A changes B is updated, and vice versa, and A and B are always kept the same.
