Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

Sounds utterly illegal, and likely to lead to countless lawsuits. They've got better phone support than Google, especially when you're a paying customer, and I'm not expecting one of the biggest corporations on the planet to just up and leave with my data, and I've sure as shit never heard of it happening.

Microsoft products have a bunch of problems I'm happy to moan about, and a UX team that I swear doesn't even use M$ products, but data security does not seem to be one of them.

Microsoft’s loss of cloud data for the Sidekick phone was one of the biggest disasters in cloud computing history.

We've come a long way since 2009.

It's not MS but Google Drive suffered data loss back in November. Any company can accidentally fuck something up. That's why I self host. When I eventually loose data, it will be my own damn fault!

Fair. I'm not knocking that choice if it's for you. But it isn't for most people, especially those who are not at all tech savvy.

I work in IT, and almost nobody who opted to use external hard drives for backup is ever up to date with their backups.
