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

I did that and stopped back ups and paused updates until August 29th.

If I write an entire page of cuss words on Word it uploads. I installed a desktop version of my email, uploaded. I uninstalled it, restart, searched in C, deleted a ton, restart, search C, delete more. The Twilight Zone.

Updates are still being installed most of which cannot be uninstalled.

This is a horror movie without end, without recourse. It is hacking, it is invasion.

You say things like that and they are fundamentally untrue.

I followed every suggestion each time, no matter what I did, onedrive invaded my life and uploaded. If MS is able, and they were, to hack into my computer while I'm sleeping and install Windows 11 which crashed my life, what makes you think that doing this, doing that, will work? It doesn't. Eset can't block them. Insidious.

I've been at this for over two months. I wiped my computer, installed Windows 10 and I'm forced to keep up the fight. I wish I could go back to 98 2nd Edition.

"All you need to do" doesn't help. It used to make me feel stupid, not anymore. All I really need to do is win a small lottery and buy a Mac.

If you think macs will solve all your problems... LOL. I have a mac... I love my mac... but I need windows to get a lot of work done. And Apple is just as pushy with iCloud as Microsoft is with OneDrive.

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 am a digital artist and I have lost countless hours of work and have lost valuable work that I can't replace. Please let me know if you hear of a class action. I definitely want in on that.
