Is there any word if this is actively syncing deletions to local storage? I have my google drive synced to multiple computers which I assumed was enough...
- lonestar 3y agoI was hit by this. It looks like my laptop had not been syncing correctly for a couple months, then GDrive overwrote my local “My Drive” folder with the old cloud copy.
- YetAnotherNick 3y agoThat sounds painful. Are you using the official Google drive app?
- zerocrates 3y agoI was going to say, from what I've seen it looks like this kind of problem: a problem with the desktop sync, rather than Google's cloud storage itself. The sync problem at the same time feels more likely and worse, as if the files never touched Google's servers and its sync went and deleted them, there'd be nothing they could do.
- mrich 3y agoIt's certainly not enough if you assume there can ever be an error in the backend which Google is unable to recover from.
