Looks like victim blaming.
> I am astounded that people put anything more important than cat photos on Google, Apple, Microsoft, Linux, Unix, general cloud provider, mobile phone, HDD, PC, etc. etc.
Also, sorry, but I have to say: there nothing wrong with caring about cat photos.
- mcculley 4y agoI do feel bad for the victims. I am still astounded. I run two businesses. It never would have occurred to me that Google Drive is something I would use for operational data. [Edit: I get the impression my original comment was interpreted as snarky. I am 51. I did not grow up in the world of ubiquitous Google Drive. I have only heard how hard it is to get customer support out of Google. I am genuinely surprised that people rely on Google Drive and other Google services for business. This has me wondering if there is a market opportunity to sell more serious services to businesses that never thought about operational reliability.]
- perryizgr8 4y agoEvery company that uses GSuite probably uses Google drive as their shared file storage, which obviously includes a lot of files critical to company's operation. What else would you expect?
- mcculley 4y agoIt also had not occurred to me that serious businesses use GSuite. I cannot imagine depending on Google, given their history. I realize I am out of touch. I remain astounded. Market opportunity!
- nikau 4y agoI would expect them to read the terms of their contract in regards to how their data is backed up, can it be restored if deleted, how long its retained, etc. If they just go "derp derp put it in cloud" they are negligent.
