I would like to know if others agree with me that OneDrive being deeply ingrained in Windows 8.1 seems like an intrusive and potentially dangerous situation and precedence. Though it can be turned off, the fact that it is there and easily activated (which could be done remotely of course) seems like a great risk to privacy and intellectual material. This is especially important in this age of intrusive government and companies, including some tech giants that sometimes seem to agree with government. There is a certain group think or mob movement, across the globe, toward central government currently. What is to keep a software company in the future from simply vacuuming whatever we write to OneDrive and then, for whatever purposes, accessing it there, as well as sharing it? Many of us want our work stored only on our personal devices with no chance of accidents that might share it on a server somewhere else. "The Cloud" is nothing more than a server or servers in the possession of one or more powerful corporations. As a server these "clouds" are surely as hackable as any other server, adding yet another risk. If the company is seeing this, my questions to them are: Hey, Microsoft, do you see the ethics issue here? Can you tell us how to completely remove OneDrive? Surely any program can be removed from anything.
