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 was formatting and resizing usb drives for work. I had already started drinking and was only half pay attention to what I was doing since I wanted to go back to hanging out with my friends. I really needed them for work the next morning and I failed to realize I left the drive plugged in with my other USB’s and formatted them all during my conversation/drinking session. It was only in the morning did I realize what I did.

      Well you know, it’s 2 AM, you’ve had a couple beers, and you say to yourself “you know what would be a GREAT idea, if I split these two RAID arrays and rearrange the disks so that the ones with pristine SMART are more evenly distributed!”
