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

I would love to sue this company. I just had to pay another fee, for access to my own files. wth. I will look into this, and see if we can get this started, if you have any ideas, please contact me back through this page....thanks

Thanks. I had complained on Reddit a long time ago. Nothing helps really.

   I have theories about the kind of people who work in Silicon Valley:  autistic, and therefore unable to fathom how normal humans function.  They do not understand that Less is More. The more complicated the better they like it.  Computers are more for games to them rather than for real life function.  ( I looked up "Silicon valley, autistic" and my suspicions were confirmed.  Yes, I realize they can't help their condition, but they are ruining people's lives, having been put in the position of "developers"). 

And then there is the person who has the final say before all these changes go into production = also someone with zero knowledge or care for what users want.   I don't ever remember being asked by Microsoft what changes I would like to Word, for instance.  Or in present day, whether I wanted to have all my stuff stolen and put in the Cloud the minute I hitched up my new desktop. 

Today as i write this, l find all of my stuff has suddenly been marked with the double arrow and i can't get anything to function properly and I don't know how to get rid of it.  These things happen when you just hit a single wrong key and you don't know what you did.  I am also unable to get screen shots to make themselves known.  

  Yes I constantly ask for remedies and i get a multitide of fixes that are as complicated as the original problem, and they don't work anyway.

 This is the last I will be complaining on line,   I'm outta here.

Hi, Thanks. I l already change the settings in my OneDrive App, so the syncing is stopped (or it should be). But like I say, when I tried to see this unsolicited message from windows 11, somehow, it triggered the syncing again, and moved all my Pictures from my Windows system dir, to the OneDrive dir again.

Do you work in Microsoft? I hope I can work with someone who can be responsible for what happened to the poor users of Windows.

I don't think for one minute that Microsoft reputation is sacrificed by the fiasco of CrowdStrike. It's already very bad.

For your information, the OneNote in my company PC, it can't do string search correctly!!!

No, I don't work for Microsoft. You can contact support, but I don't think they will be able to help. You just need to avoid OneDrive if you don't want to use it.

Make sure you go to Manage Backup and turn off the sync, otherwise, the folders listed in Manage Backup will move back into OneDrive.
