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.

Makes sense, I'll have to start doing that.

One more question out of curiosity, how do you store the drive after?

I was thinking of getting a proper fireproof safe someday, but that might make it so I get lazy with the backups

Hehe thats what I do. I keep mine in a fireproof box inside a bolted down safe.
