Microsoft DELETED my account AND OneDrive!!?? After ACKNOWLEDGING that I’m the owner of the account and that it was compromised???
25 fucking years of data, thousands of euros spended on games?? My son’s baby pictures? GONE!
When you have a cloud storage account, the fine print says that there is no guarantee. Unless you have an explicitly negotiated service agreement (e.g., a corporate account), your sgtorage provider can delete your account and data at any time for any reason, and you will be left up the creek without a paddle.
The solution? Make local backups. Of everything, not just the things on your computer's local storage device. Yes, hard drives and SSDs can fail, but if your cloud provider deletes (or just loses) your data, you really really don't want that to be your only copy.
