this is exactly why i don't use one drive. it's none of m$ business what i do, or don't do with MY cloud storage. they need to keep their noses out of end users business. you should be able to share as much as you like with your friends and business partners, without them interfering. you could have hundreds of downloads from your cloud where you are just helping friends with things, or sharing pic's, vid's or other personal information. and they think it's ok to suspend it in this situation? no, no, no.

Don't take this now personally. You voiced your opinion, I will do the same :)

In my 6+ years on these forums of ours (Vista Forums, Seven Forums, Eight Forums, Ten Forums, PC Help Forums) I honestly think I have not seen a post I disagree more than the above quoted post of yours.

I am strictly against piracy in any form and welcome all possible measures to control it. I welcome you and anyone else to come to check my computers on any given time without a warning to see it by yourself that on my rigs, there's not a single piece of software which is unlicensed. Sadly, torrenting and suspicious "We don't ask any questions" file share sites have ruined the honest sharing. I am really happy, completely satisfied that Microsoft is doing their best and giving us an online storage where at least some control and rules are set to ensure it will not be used for illegal file sharing. It makes the OneDrive more trustworthy, and for users like me the preferred online storage.

Of course it's their business. Of course their must have some security applied to. As a consumer I need to know this online storage site is 100% legal and valid. Because they are not willing to sacrifice my privacy sometimes a totally valid share will be flagged as a potential breach of the end user agreement and will be stopped; the only way for MS to check if my stored file is in fact totally legal to share would mean they had to get information about the file in the way which would be against the privacy they have promised to me.

My OneDrive was recently closed for a few days because of "suspicious activity". I explained the purpose of my stored ISO images in an email, they were satisfied and restored my service. OneDrive as a service got extra brownie points from me; as a consumer I was happy to see their goal to stay legal really works.

Sorry Kari, but it seems to me that having my OneDrive closed for a few days is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE behaviour and I would never tolerate the spying from a service which has MY FILES. And this is exactly why I DO NOT use online storage systems like OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc., because they can't be trusted to give you and only you access to your files at all times. Just because it's convenient doesn't make it a good solution.
