UPDATED Google Drive users are reporting files mysteriously disappearing from the service, with some netizens on the goliath’s support forums claiming six or more months of work have unceremoniously vanished.

The issue has been rumbling for a few days, with one user logging into Google Drive and finding things as they were in May 2023.

    Increasing subscription fees

    What are you talking about? The amount of storage you get increases at a higher rate than the cost. That’s what people generally require… But anyway, you sound fairly technical. Why aren’t you using S3? I’ve got hundreds of gigs backed up and it’s like $10/mo.

      Try getting something out of S3 then check the bill.

      I looked at S3 but I wanted easy consumer functionality like link sharing, web apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, photo management. I’m technical but I haven’t got endless time to play around with stuff I am in my 40s. I now have over 12TB of personal data (files spanning back to the 1980s).
