Microsoft should be sued class action by users for copying and deleting all files from local computer without notifying the user!!

It 100% does.

It deleted all of my pictures.

OneDrive deleted all 68,638 files in 1,157 folders (totaling 428GB) off of my hard drive. Every picture I have ever taken.

This was the response from their "support team":

Hello there,

It is really hard for me to say that in this situation, there is no possibility for recovering the data. Trust me, if there had been a single percentage of chance, I would have taken it before cascading the sad news. I can understand how important your data would have been and to be honest, I am equally sad while delivering this message.

The worst feeling, I always get is by saying sorry to a customer which came to seek help just like you and I couldn't due to such undecided, unfortunately helpless situation. I know this isn't the answer you are looking for but again being your OneDrive adviser, my job is to help you with the best of my ability and here I fail due to such situation which isn't under my control. I hope you understand my limitation.

Thank you,

Vipin S.

OneDrive Escalations.

No, unfortunately I'm not.

I just now lost two 5TB External drives due to a problem with Explorer randomly opening drives, except this time, they didn't reboot. It was due to a recent update that I missed stopping before it was too late. Ihave tried to prevent updates for a long time due to limited space on my C Drive, and I moved most of my documents and files to external drives. Of course, OneDrive moved them, and critical files that belonged together are now scattered in OneDrive or completely missing. Almost six years' worth of personal files, billing info, lessons, and all my undergraduate and Graduate work have vanished.

Now probably isn't the best time to talk about it. I am so angry I can't see straight.

It's not under your control because your director, and their GM, and their vp, and their CVP are literally signing off on LAZY, SUB STANDARD, INEPT, FAILURES vs. canning them and hiring PRODUCTIVE, ETHICAL PROFESSIONALS. I KNOW BECAUSE I SAW WHAT THESE SO-CALLED EXECUTIVES DO. The best you can do is for an ethical, professional company, apply with them then submit your resignation. You're not doing yourself any favors staying with the sinking ship.

To say it's highly illegal is being kind. The things these people in that company are doing can send a lot of them to prison. Like I said below, at least Steve ballmer made heads roll if anyone broke the law and that new group was just the beginning. Allowing the port of directors to usurp this new group and create a new vendor/ contractor designation only set them up for bigger punishment. Like I said you continue ticking off people, you will eventually get to ticking off the wrong person. No quarter, and absolutely zero mercy for dirty, unethical, lazy corporate thieves did not only signed off on illegal behavior but literally worked to find a way around avoiding ethical lawful behavior.
