I spun up nextcloud to replace onedrive about a year ago. Everything was going well so I chose not to renew my onedrive subscription, this was exactly 6 months ago, I’d assume.

I got an email a few days ago reminding me that they would delete my data. I ignored it because obviously I had moved my data to nextcloud. not gonna trick me Mi¢ro$oft.

But yesterday I decided to have a quick look though and it turns out I didn’t copy over everything, and certanly not my 5 years of camera roll backups.

I started a sync of everything last night and woke up in the morning to find that it had stopped at about 10gb out of 80gb. And now onedrive won’t connect and if I try to log in to onedrive with that account via the web it just kicks me back to the microsoft portal.

I’m 99.5% sure there is nothing to be done and I’m not an overly sentimental person so if they are lost it won’t break me. I have many important photos backed up in immich but just not everything.

But I just needed to ask in case someone knows where to find the M spot I can touch for magic file recovery.

Edit: turns out you can just pay them more money and they still had my stuff. thank you for joining me on the shortest support ticket of all time
