I'm just surprised it seems to actually be in c/users instead of a OneDrive folder
Probably downloaded it from ChatGPT, that's why it's in the downloads folder.
Default location of the downloads folder becoming OneDrive wouldn't suprise me at all
Agree. The default download location on iOS and padOS is iCloud and it's pretty clear that Microsoft is chasing Apple's monetization model.
That sounds like hell, imagine running an exe from the cloud
You just invented saas
Why would it run it from the cloud? Any file you try to open is downloaded locally first.
The commenter suggested the file would be downloaded to onedrive. This implies that it doesn't touch the computer.
Windows has a onedrive folder locally, which is the one that person is talking about. C: users isn’t in the onedrive folder.
I’m not sure you know how onedrive works tbh.

It scares me how many people don't know this. The amount of people who have sent me and the rest of my team angry emails about how MS Defender is going "beyond its jurisdiction" after removing pirated software from their OneDrive is staggering.
