I suggest users look into cube backup, it’s great for local backups and versioning of G suite data. I’ve been using it for three or four years now, and couldn’t be happier. (Dev is very quick to reply and helpful.). Still just 5$ per year per user (I’m not sure if it supports Gmail free, but it definitely supports G suite users.) Additionally, it does not help that the search giants, search functionality for Drive and Gmail is so incredibly poor (more so Gmail, I have found drive search has improved,). For example, you still cannot do AND searches in Gmail properly. You also cannot do wildcard, searches of any kind. (And no regex nor partial regex)

One other note (and I haven’t read every reply here yet) – other than the anecdotal evidence of drive data loss, one way to 100% prove drive data loss is occurring, is if someone has an example of data, not showing up on Drive, but that same data is present in a cubeback up local back up (as cube backup Supports versioning, and it’s only source of data is directly from G suite). This would prove the data was on drive at one point, but is now gone along with the date and time it was retrieved and saved locally via cubeback up. (Additionally, one can show that it wasn’t deleted via user action by looking at the logs in Gsuite admin, or I think cubeBackup would log a delete as well, assuming you’re retaining those cubebackup logs) (to be clear I’m simply a user of cubeback up. I have no interest or affiliation with them)
