Around 10 years ago, when cloud storage services got going, I copied all my stuff to Google Drive, thinking this was gonna solve all my problems. Well, 10 years later, in 2023, I've finally finished copying all my stuff back down to my laptop and storing anything important on 3 different 256-GB removable USB drives. I keep some stuff in Google Drive, mostly throw-away stuff, like goofy pictures I wanna share. But anything important is local now. I just got tired of weird policy changes, sometimes data would go missing, only to magically reappear a few days later, and I just lost trust in all cloud storage services. And this incident with WD is a great example of that.
