When this has happened in the past, it was only for Google Drive items that were shared publicly, and those for private storage were "safe". Can anybody confirm/deny if that is the case here? EDIT: As a matter of fact, I think that is the case here. Notice how the message doesn't say anything about removal, and instead says "some features related to this file may have been restricted". OP's editorialized title is completely wrong, I strongly suspect they're just turning off sharing for the file.

I can absolutely confirm it's happened to private, unshared documents, because it happened to me. Google deleted a COVID-19 video I'd uploaded to Google Drive to keep for prosperity. I'm a bit of a bower bird [0] and I'd kept it because it was the most "out-there" thing I'd seen. Nowhere is safer then a Google Drive right? One day, it disappeared. Another "out-there" video I'd uploaded about the same time (it was a sales pitch from a some USA data collector demonstrating how they could tracked phones to plot COVID spread) remains to this day. The disappeared video was selling a preppers handbook. The sales pitch was CVOID-19 is a US government conspiracy, and you needed to prepare for the downfall of the USA. If I was internet publishing company there is no way I'd be letting my platform host the video. But I wasn't publishing it.

  Maybe you should make your own post then posting the evidence for that, in this post and previous variations of it I am yet to see what you describe.
