RE "...Cloud Storage not enabled by Default ..."
The issue is that Microsoft is moving users files to its cloud with out explaining to people CLEARLY what is happening. And getting their customers agreement. And this deception, in MY OPINION is obviously by design , meant to grow their cloud storage revenue thru upgrade offers
If Microsoft was doing it properly, it would be CLEARLY explained to customer what was to happen and getting their agreement. to store files in cloud.
Having used computers , since late 70s, Microsoft has a very long history of dodgy actions for their own benefit and at detriment to customer
OneDrive seems pretty clear to me. It works identically to the way the same functionality works under macOS.
I dont know if it works like macOS since I dont use macOS - but it's not a simple copy-to-cloud. It actively replaces file handling in those folders, which breaks a bunch of applications like games that save stuff in Documents/My Games..
The way iCloud Desktop works is that it uploads your stuff to the cloud, using your iCloud Storage quota.
The way that OneDrive works is that it uploads stuff to OneDrive, using your Microsoft 365 storage quota.

MacOS has nothing like onedrive’s experience. iCloud is a way cleaner and clearer experience. It doesn’t even compare.
