OneDrive: Difference between revisions
Softbuckets (talk | contribs) Microsoft OneDrive tried to back up all my files on my computer. They asked me to pay for more cloud space once they "backed up" 5 gigs of files. The files they "backed up" are now only accessible through OneDrive. Disabling OneDrive nearly deleted all my files. I believe they are staggering the implementation of this new way that OneDrive interacts with user data in order to stop people from fighting against it effectively (& I have proof). |

=== | ===Aggressive push for backups (''Aug. 2025'')=== | ||
Microsoft OneDrive attempted to "back up" all my computer files. When it had '''''moved''''' 5 gigs of files to OneDrive, it requested that I "Upgrade" or "Free Up Space". When I tried to disable OneDrive, it removed all my files from my desktop & I had to copy all the files ''from'' OneDrive to get them back onto my PC. I am now in the process of backing up all my files '''''FROM''''' One Drive '''''TO''''' my external SSD so they don't get deleted when I remove OneDrive from my computer. My files are getting corrupted in the process (I was not aware that OneDrive would do this. I did not opt-in to OneDrive using my data. I believe they are staggering the implementation of this new "feature" (backing up all computer files without user knowledge, notification, or consent), ''allegedly'' to stop backlash from consumers. | |||

OneDrive advised that I do not have the proper permissions to upload files that I never requested to back up: | |||
