Microsoft's directions on how to attempt to recover your files if your OneDrive gets hit by cryptoware.

Phew, one by one.
Short of some fancy powershell scripting and API stuff, I'm not sure there's any other way to do it.
AKA, not a real solution.
"Yes sir, you will have to individually restore your 65,000 files. Hello? Sir?"
I guess you could just restore the really important ones while you wait for a decryption fix to be found.

OneDrive is not a backup solution - it's an online storage solution.

Of course, of course.

This is no different than any other file sync service.
That you get a means of recovery is great, but that does not mean it is a backup.

You sir, have issues with thinking things are not what they are.

Well what's worse, it's likely that the only files that get history version are ones on MS's supported list. I need to find that list of file types.

Do I?
The OP stated "how to attempt to recover your files if your OneDrive gets hit by cryptoware"
I am just saying it would be a hell of a process doing it that way.
That is all.
You sir, read too deeply into the meanings of my posts.

That is correct for Onedrive. ODfB does version all files, I think.

If I have time tonight I will have to play with that.

I know it works on ODfB for things like text files. Not sure about every file, like JPGs and stuff. ISOs, whatever.
