Microsoft is using deceptive tactics to hold our content hostage. I wasn't given any intimation on how OneDrive would without my permission take hold of my folders and content and not release it back to me unless I took their subscription account to access them. Even though I have paid for a yearly subscription, I still am not able to restore back all my content to my local storage. Though the sum of amount they've received isn't much, the value of my content is too high for me. I do not want them on OneDrive, I want them locally on my computer and for me to access, store, or transfer per my discretion.
When they apply this policy at a systemic level where all Windows users are subjected to it, suddenly the under $20 annual fee obviously becomes a much greater sum. It is something that must be attacked and resented publicly. A class action law suit is necessary when companies begin to act so callously.

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.
Sorry, one more thing. I'm hoping I can maintain a sense of humor no matter how vicious my humor is throughout this. Mel Brooks - If it ain't funny, keep your mouth shut.
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?
Volunteers and Independent Advisors are not Microsoft employees.
If OneDrive is full, do a trial to raise the quota and move everything out. (If you need to pay for a month, it's $1.99 US. )
Just don't forget to cancel!
