ALL MY PHOTOS THAT WERE ON MY HARD DRIVE HAVE BEEN MOVED TO "ONE DRIVE" AND COMPETELY RE-ORDERED. I WANT TO GET THEM BACK IN ORDER. THE SAME WITH MY FILES

What the hell. I just signed up to backup my pc on onedrive and now MY FILES HAVE FUCKING BEEN MOVED!
Why would microsoft be so fucking stupid to choose to do that?
How do I get my file structure back and still have a backup. or do i need to just backup the old fashioned way?
Microsoft did this to me after a routine update. I got varying pieces of advice from Microsoft advisers - not employees - I had no read idea who they were. I was given some instructions to put everything back - I think you can see it on the thread here, but it was only partially successful. I put everything on a portable hard drive and now keep all my photos on it. I was advised by the computer shop I visited not to use the cloud and now do not sync to the cloud. I now don't get constant messages that my cloud storage is full and to buy more space!
I was annoyed that Microsoft had the audacity to get my files and move them all, there was a message that I could press one button to make them all public. Why would I want to make photos of my family public?
Microsoft have zero customer service. The phone help just cuts you off.
I would go to a computer shop or get help from knowledgeable friends, them move to Apple.

This happened to me, too. When One Drive moved the pictures, it also changed the file path to One Drive which I do not want. I did not consent to this so how can I get the pictures back to my hard drive with the original file path to my Pictures folder on My Hard Drive and not Google's cloud. They're not Googles pics by the way so shouldn't just randomly take them to their cloud.
