Moving from Onedrive to Dropbox (despite having M365)

I've been using M365 and OneDrive for years, however I find the experience of it truly awful nowadays. The problem is Microsoft (Windows) trying to 2nd-guess me and automatically turn on things like backup. I don't want onedrive backup automatically turned on, because I am already syncing my important files. It also makes the process of setting up a new PC (or reinstalling windows) particularly stressful because you have to be trying to work out what the installer is trying to do for you, without you asking.

So I'm getting Drop box, keeping it all completely separate, and i'll let Windows do whatever it likes with Onedrive. My files will be out of reach of it.

(I've been using Windows since Windows 2.0, and before that DOS, am a big fan, so if they can't keep me using their stuff, they probably have a problem!).
