In an enterprise environment onedrive is perfectly fine. Yet so many developers think they're to good for it. They save their things outside of onedrive and low and behold they lose data. Its so dumb and im yet to hear a good reason why they couldnt have used onedrive.
Git folders doesn't go well with onedrive.

Looking into the actual announcements, they're not 100% clear but I'd be shocked if they skipped the archival period for old accounts. But also they originally announced this a long time ago and the official page says they've been rolling it out since January last year.
I wouldn’t want to gamble on that assumption.

Network drives mean no local retention and no real good answer for Windows+Mac+Android+iOS clients to remotely access the files. It also doesn't solve sharing those files externally with granular permissions. All of these kinds things need protection against data loss and centralized control+management, not just the user folder alone.
isn't that also the case witf onedrive because it deletes local copies?

I keep my code in OneDrive. I probably have hundreds of repos cloned and active. Been going like this since like 2018 or so. I’ve never had problems except for warnings about deleting lots of filed when I git branch or checkout or whatever. I would expect onedrive not to pull down files after a checkout because from a file io, it’s deleting and copying in new files, right?
It needs to read the repo under .git; that’s a lot of files that may not be synced, depending on local disk space, frequency of use, etc. The local disk is just a cache. There may be an option to Always keep on this device, which might help.
