I was affected!! It’s so strange, first time something like this happened to me, it’s like I won a local lottery or something, don’t know what to feel now.
All my newer files are still there, but the older ones and all bin, zip, tar and 7zip are not there anymore.
So glad I started the homelab / self-hosted thing a few weeks ago, I have copies of everything locally on multiple storages.
As the stickied post said, we shouldn’t rely on cloud storage because X, Y, and Z but good god the whole point of these companies buying out missile silos, building in tons of redundancy, etc. was to prevent this shit. Google’s billions are no better than my $500 NAS, it would appear.

It probably is still better. They have a billion users. Not saying this is not bad, they have one job and it should not happen. But Ive lost equipment at home for different reasons even though raid, surge protection etc etc. I doubt I statisticly could do better.
Not with that attitude you won’t! You need multiple redundant RAID arrays with their own redundant RAID arrays to assert your dominance over data loss.
Not now, i installed it a couple of times before but never actively used it, nor do I have it installed at the moment on any machine, besides my android.

Were you using the Drive Desktop client?

Do you have any tips or tutorials to begin the homelab/self hosting?
