Fuckin hell, all I wanted was to keep my Skydrive. That's fuckin it. Nothing more.
sigh I'm gonna have to switch to some self hosted bullshit ain't I? It's gonna be back to ye old "let's save today's photos from my phone onto my machine" bullshit?
Nextcloud does that automatically 😉
Or immich!
Lol, am I the only one who still uses mini and micro USBs to transfer files onto my laptop? TIL I'm apparently out here livin' like the Geico caveman hahaha
