When you login with a microsoft account it also logs you into onedrive. by default onedrive starts up at boot time, and also by default it backs up the main folders of your PC (documents, desktop, pictures, etc.)
It can all be turned off, but the fact it’s opt out its cancerous. The only thing I use onedrive for is to store my offsite 3-2-1 backup. It’s encrypted beforehand with rclone.
It’s exactly that.
