Microsoft Windows is once more disrupting users with an unavoidable pop-up notification. This time, Windows 11 users are being bombarded with messages about cloud backups, specifically nudging them towards using Microsoft’s OneDrive service. The notification advises backing up data to prevent loss, implying that using OneDrive is the best solution.
While the free version of OneDrive offers just 5GB of storage, Microsoft pushes for upgrades: $2 per month for 100GB or $7 per month for 1TB, with annual payment discounts available. Frustratingly, these notifications cannot be permanently disabled, encouraging users to subscribe to OneDrive.
Though backing up data is sensible, Microsoft Windows users are not limited to OneDrive. There are many free offline backup software options available. Explore alternative Windows backup software to avoid these intrusive prompts.
