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.

Never flash disks/pendrives on evening or if you want things quickly done. Always unplug everything else first. Or else Murphys law.

… Why were you doing anything remotely like formatting a drive while drunk?

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!”

If you can’t do it drunk don’t do it sober.
