Perfect example of why letting some company that doesn't give two shits about you, hold your important documents or whatever is a stupid idea...cloud storage is inherently bad and no company can be trusted more then storing your own data at home on a secure drive or two.
I don't use any any Google services for good reasons, but I wouldn't trust myself more not to lose my data than Google.
You need an encrypted cloud copy. 3-2-1 backup with duply to wasabi (AWS bucket-like). Otherwise you're hosed if you have a fire/tornado/theft/etc.
Lololol every neckbeard nerd a few minutes before they lose years of family pictures.
I definitely wouldn't have ever lost that data 🤣🤦♂️
