OneDrive Mac Users Unhappy With Buggy Update That Removes Ability to Keep Local Copies of Synced Files

The problem is that if you use MS Office (as I have to do for work), no other cloud-based storage solution supports automatic, iterative saving. So you're stuck with OneDrive. And I know iCloud does exactly the same for Pages, but I can't use Pages for work.

Yeah, a lot of our work’s Sharepoint and Teams chat files are all in OneDrive.

That's the thing, the integration, the collaborative tools, the "ecosystem". MS Office's pull means that, in a while, OneDrive will take most -if not all- market share. Same with Teams vs. Zoom (or Google Meet, etc.)

I like Office generally, but the dialog boxes for saving to OneDrive look like 1980's UNIX. Yuck. And it is a pain trying to figure out how to back things up.
