Do you use Google Drive?
If you do - did any of your important files magically become "shortcuts?"
And if so, did you lose any of your files? Google drive lost a very important spreadsheet of mine and their customer service has not been able to locate it. I pay for extra storage - have had this file for 8 yrs - after hours of customer service trying to figure out what happened - still nothing. |

I suggest you look at backblaze for storing your files in addition to your google drive if you value your data.

I've been using Dropbox for years. 2TB of storage and I've had zero issues (knocks on wood)

I use Google drive but not really for important work related stuff. I use it more for photos and vacation planning or random lists.

I have used it for years. Everything I have on google drive I have stored somewhere else just in case something like this happens.

Yes, never an issue for years. Maddening that it doesn't allow all true file operations like multiple folder selection and such. But never lost files to my knowledge. Have multiple accounts! But any critical data is also saved locally on removable media.
Good Luck |

They found my 13 yr old file... Turns out it was originally created under my wifes maiden name/email address. They ran their recovery software and found it. I'm still in shock and extremely pleased it was recovered!
