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

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.

    I absolutely agree with you. Do not mess with your one drive. I am not happy with this cloud that I am being forced to use. I nearly lost all my documents and evidence for a lawsuit I am involved in, I potentially would have lost my case. do to icloud. Would you be interested in a class action as well.

    Thank you for your response I will try to keep this updated. I am currently involved in 2 personal lawsuits, acting on a pro se basis. I am winning. So it seems law has become my new interest. lol
