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

Anonymous

Microsoft should be sue class action for copying and deleting all my files from my computer and moving it OneDrive cloud space without letting the user know...to get more money and subscription, MS has moved all my files onto Cloud and deleted from my C: drive!

This is done without the users permission or letting the user know of deleting files from the local drive.

I can understand if it copies to OneDrive location on the CLOUD.

NOw it has also made multiple copies and when I want a file I connot find it even!

What MS has done is by virtue of owning the desktop, they are forcing people to use OneDrive and moving files and filling it up on OneDrive so Microsoft can charge more money for cloud space when I did not want to remove it from my local hard drive and keep it on the cloud to begin with.

Now I had too many directories under Documents, they are saying I will have to copy one by one; that too create a zip for each directory and restore it....no easy way back from MS Cloud OneDrive back to the local hard drive.

This is unacceptable and created headaches for many users!!

Now I have to put in a lot of hours to reconstuct my files...

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.

I agree they should be sued I had a bunch of MRI apps on my computer and they will not from one drive. They have done nothing that I wanted as well and customer support for this problem has not been helpful. Any idea how to get a class action lawsuit going?

Seriously, this is no different than back in the day when MS embedded MSN as the browser and was sued - and lost. OneDrive is damn near impossible to get rid of. It's a pain in the behind. I've fought it on several personal computers. It is a beast and will mess you up if you don't buy their subscription. But DO NOT give up! Get rid of that and choose your OWN solution instead of letting Microsoft bully you.

If there is a class action - I AM IN!

It is absolutely necessary to help humanity to protect human right. MICROSOFT ABUSE POWER AND DOESN'T CARE FOR ANY PERSONAL Data at all! It's the most horrible organization ever. I can demonstrate it. "How Microsoft protect your data" - REALLY??
