If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, OneDrive is not a backup solution. You should not be using it to sync files between PCs. It’s at best a data sharing solution which also extensively mines your data. If you’re using OneDrive to backup important information you’ll regret it when your data is gone and there’s no support from Microsoft to resolve it.
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.
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!

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

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.
