    Save your files to OneDrive for expanded ransomware protection

    How can my files on onedrive get corrupted by a ransomware attack?

    US-CERT Alert (TA13-309A) advises some crypto malware variants have the ability to target, find and encrypt files located within
    network drives, shared (mapped network paths), USB drives, external hard drives, and even
    files stored on cloud services (cloud storage drives) if they have a drive letter. Although cloud backups typically do not use drive letters, many cloud storage services do not save prior file versions so there’s no way to revert to a clean
    file version.

    OneDrive is Microsoft's
    free data hosting cloud service     that allows users to sync files and later access them from a web browser or mobile device. I do not use OneDrive, but from what I understand the source data (like

    GoogleDrive    ) resides locally in the OneDrive folder. If that gets encrypted by ransomware, it will get encrypted in the Cloud service as well since it gets automatically synchronized. However, according to Microsoft, OneDrive
    has the capability to restore files affected by ransomware by using Version History or restoring from the OneDrive Recycle Bin...see

    OneDrive vs. Ransomware     which includes links with instructions for recovering OneDrive-based files using Version History and the OneDrive Recycle Bin.
