Yep, I remember a couple of years ago Google Drive started flagging 1 byte files as pirated content - shortly after I bought a 6TB hard-drive and two 5TB portable hard-drives.
My progress in getting everything off Google Drive and OneDrive has slowed due to real life but all the important stuff is backed up offline now.
- mysterydip 3mo ago1 byte files? I guess there’s only 256 options, someone probably copyrighted them :)
- jamesfinlayson 3mo agoI don't know if an explanation was ever given but I assume their pirated content scanning algorithm inadvertently dropped a file size check and their other checks passed.
- Incipient 3mo agoIs there a viable alternative to the sync clients - pc/android with cloud/ghost files etc?
- jamesfinlayson 3mo agoNo idea, or at least I haven't looked into it. I just manually sync to my drives.
