I want to sue Microsoft -- OneDrive has hijacked all my local files and there's no way to retreive it!!!!

Hi Brian:

I'm in agreement with you, but with just a few exceptions. Microsoft is a big red Target that hackers constantly attack unsuccessfully. Their servers are as safe as Fort Knox so the chances of anyone getting our data, other than Microsoft, is very low. So I'm not worried about that.

As far as holding our data hostage, I think that's walking on a roof ridge Pole. I never even touched OneDrive, and by law they cannot touch my personal files that are living on my personal computer and or my personal email account. Irregardless of whether the email account is hosted by Microsoft, that's a personal email account and they are not allowed to touch any of my documents or files that are in emails without my explicit permission or without my explicitly requesting to sync OneDrive with the specific email or the computer. There's stance is that if you have used the operating system Windows you agreed to not sue the company. Unfortunately that doesn't hold water. There is case law after case law clear back to Teddy Roosevelt, where you cannot force anyone a customer, tenant, or client, to never sue you if they use your services. So I'm surprised we have not heard of any suits against Microsoft for the invasive and illegal actions by their data storage, cloud server.

So I agree with you to a degree about stealing data because I never agreed to ever have anything to do with OneDrive and I certainly never ever touched that Microsoft storage server so for them to actually get into my PC and my emails download files and images, is highly illegal. But as far as anybody getting access to our files, that is not going to happen and we have no reason to worry about that because the company systems have never been breached.

I feel very sad, sad to see Bill Gates amazing company in the hands of someone who has signed off on such blatant illegal behavior. I hear that Bill has been heads down with his Gates foundation and Gates trust, but he cannot be totally oblivious to what Satya is turning a blind eye to or possibly with eyes wide open signing off on this intrusive and invasive server, which operates much like an illegal hacker removing files from our personal emails and devices.

I'm pretty eager to see this play out. Bill Gates was always very open-minded and actually encouraged employees to think outside thr box . When Microsoft went head first into making MSN the number one search engine, Bill Gates told employees to keep using Google at work. MSN set up a website with the split screen, one side for MSN the other side for google. He told everybody to test MSN against google, and let them know about our experience. Because his expectation was for his staff to push the boundaries no matter what, that's what made it the number one software company on the planet. And that's why I'm sad, I live in the area and we were very proud of forward-thinking businessman living amongst us. I'm very worried about the future of the company if they don't take action to fix this issue, but I am not going to allow anyone to take my personal files without my permission. And yes I cannot access them because I never took action to allow my files transferred to their server.

You hear of any class action suits due to onedrive, please post it in the Microsoft community website.

If there is no contract they cannot hold you for arbitration. I have not signed a contract with them.

Microsoft has tried to use a tactic that works like the grammar use of "you" understood. Such as, "Close the window." You Understood.

According to them, it is understood if you click any box accepting terms of use, that is equal to a contract. They have lost many lawsuits trying that tactic.

They can and have been successfully sued.

The FTC is looking into these issues. You can search to get more information.

What is this loyalty **** anyway? It's pervasive. If you can't prove your loyal, your fired.

I don't know about you guys, but this has my stomach doing Cirque de Soleil. I have to eat something. I knew there would come a time where the reasoning behind becoming a really good cook would come in handy. See you soon.

Hi, I hope you were being facetious when you said what they're doing is not criminal. I have to find the civil lawsuit brought against Microsoft for exactly this and the federal suit which Microsoft also lost and lost badly. Both cases wound up setting precedents which is a big deal. Precedents pay it forward and have done all of the big lifting. It's just a matter of getting my hands on the transcripts and motions and no, I'm not a lawyer, my dad was.

I think all of us who are serious should get the court filings for themselves. Then we can set up a private chat anywhere but here, The chat has to be set up on an app and not on a personal home computer. An app is a closed circuit. My son has had to walk me through all of it. My name is spelled out of the norm and I'm a target for the world.

I love my son but he says an app is way more secure so I use an app for banking. My son who knows so much more than I do thinks I know the logical next step. I don't. He get frustrated. He then has to apologize for his tone of voice. It's like a snake eating its own tail. For Years. I do love him. I think he thinks I do it on purpose to drive him nuts. I don't. I don't know all that he knows.

Once I have the blueprint for how to, my question is, who is the first person to hand out their email and how would that be done seeing how Microsoft can slink where they wish.

I just found out Google is able to troll my Roku accounts. If I watch something, Surprise, it becomes an option on YouTube. Google is also on my, I hate you, you invasive creep list.

I'm finished being frustrated without satisfaction. I want satisfaction. I also want to look like a simpleton to Microsoft. Is any of this making sense? Less talk, let's begin action. How about it?
