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

I am going to get blackballed for this. Here's why;

I must have written something so horrible it got the attention of actual Microsoft employees, got escalated to who knows where, finally to this;

Ken- 469-775-1140. He is supposed to be a MS technical whiz. But, I either dump my life or install office 2019 / 365. I bought Office 2019 in 2020 for $149 as an independent stand alone program. Microsoft has lost the definition of independent, or free will, or, get the **** out of my house/life/computer.

The other way to contact the 'Escalation' department is - ******@microsoftsupport.com

I am nervous putting this up on this site or any site really.

MS already broke into my house and hacked into my computer installing Windows 11 without my permission. I think as soon as I post this, nope before, I'm back, I bought an airgap. It has no wifi, Bluetooth, internet components. It is a computer before the internet.

A friend separated Word from 365. I imagined screaming like separating Siamese Twins with a dinner knife. It felt good. As they were torn apart we had great music on;

Anyone know Pearls Before Swine - Surrealistic Waltz?

Well, I am an engineer works in Silicon Valley. Most engineers are fine. But engineers in Microsoft (its headquarters is in Seattle, not Silicon Valley) are complacent into their good life, and just enjoy whatever good stuffs the company provides them. The problem is not with the engineers, but the management of Microsoft, those financial guys, marketing guys, their **** brains have a single purpose to squeeze the last penny out of people's pockets.

I'd suggest your contact your own House Representative, I bet a lot of them are willing to start a investigation on Microsoft. Unless they also receive a big donation from Microsoft, then you are out of luck!

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.

A friendly advice. Even though this is a forum under microsoft.com, it seems MSFT send no one to monitor or service these complaints. Only volunteers. I doubt if they are volunteers or employees, beacuse if you are employee you are more responsible for what happens. Volunteer gives you a little hint of sympathy you will be thankful for it....
I'd suggest you express your frustration on reddit.com. It's a good place to rant on all kinds of topics!

I'm happy to know I'm not alone. I've been using OneDrive for a good while, and it was just fine, until 3 days ago when it hijacked everything from my PC. So I logged on to my Laptop and was happy to see it hadn't happened there. But wait! The next time I logon, the same has happened to my laptop. I'm in the process of moving everything to Carbonite, which will take a significant amount of time. Then I will move them to my PC under a different drive, and pray they stay safe. I do have Carbonite set to continuously back up.

I just hope there is a way to get out of the clutches of OneDrive.

I HATE MICROSOFT. Count me in on any lawsuit. Bill Gates can rot in hell.
