OneDrive != Backup! In the case of OneDrive, it MOVES those files out of those folders on your computer and into the "cloud". There have been multiple times where sync services like this have had issues and the user lost data.
I'm a fraud / white collar crime investigator by trade. When it comes to the cloud, I'm off-grid. The doctors and specialists I use still use paper charts. The lab I use does everything in-house with paper records. I maintain my own data center and services. I do bank online and will use credit cards, but with my job I'm also fully aware of what is being recorded in databases out there. I've worked with various agencies over the years and it's outright frightening what's available on most people. I'm regularly pruning databases of my information.
