A Microsoft 365 user lost 30 years of data — and the company isn't doing anything to help

It's no secret that Microsoft recommends Windows 11 users to use a Microsoft Account instead of local accounts to log in to PCs. Not only that, but the software giant has even gone so far as to force people to use its online account instead of the local one on PCs. While there are plenty of benefits to using a Microsoft account instead of a local account, especially if you're subscribed to Microsoft 365, you might need to think twice before using it as your primary source of cloud data storage.
