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.

I use an external hard drive for all of my cloud backups

Dumb question,

If you have an external hard drive for your cloud backup data, why use a cloud service?

Accessible from anywhere and any device. Non-local backups in case of a fire at your house and such.
