I don't disagree, but I am also not absolving Microsoft. Data protection is the user's responsibility AND OneDrive shouldn't arbitrarily lockout paying users with no way to get support. Again, both statements can be true at the same time.
I doubt you mean to imply it is okay for companies to violate their SLAs and screw over their customers. Assuming you don't think that, then we have no disagreement my friend.
Also, Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is
The reddit post has nothing to do with Windows 11 or 'Forced' Encryption, at all, reading the thread a guy has uploaded a load of files, deleted the source, tripped the ToS for some reason and been locked out
The guy could have been using Windows 7 box with no drive encryption.
A more accurate headline would be User with no backup looses data
I've been using Microsoft cloud storage since before it was named OneDrive. Though typically only upload the following items. Game Screenshots of like crashes if its a driving game, or occasionally a Video recorded with GameDVR
All Purchased Music from former Microsoft App store when they offered music during Windows 8.1, Xbox/Groove Music days, in additon to the 30 Free Albums Christmas 2024 for using a Windows Phone at the time.
Of course everything is also backed up on 3 external hard drives as well.
and albums that would be hard to replace, also uploaded to GoogleDrive, ((though can't upload all of it to Google drive, as not enough space there to lol))
Been using Microsoft Hotmail & Outlook email ever since first released
Hotmail originally signed up April 1998 during high school class
Outlook.com email converted to when first launched many years ago
