We all know that the Cloud is the only true environment for everything IT related. It is absolutely safe and secure.
You can trust it all your data, privacy included.
Unless it isn't.
Store a few files on Google Drive, and voilà, it's gone. Yeah!

loss of critical data they entrusted to the cloud-based service
Hey, it's a double-wtf. Wtf::1: Google loosing data in their cloud. Wtf::2: putting critical data into somebody else's cloud.

@BernieTheBernie but also...
A notable aspect of the situation is that Google's support forums are backed by volunteers with limited insight or understanding of the cloud service, so the lack of effective assistance in critical problems like this makes it all the worse.

And here I thought the difference was that Microsoft has support forums backed by
volunteers moronsMVPs, whereas Google has no support, no way to appeal, or any way to contact them at all.
TIL, I guess.

@topspin I’m practice it’s the same thing. Google doesn’t have support, no way to contact them, etc. but it does have simps willing to play the hero for no compensation for their time.

reverting to a storage snapshot as it was around April-May 2023.
Hmm, the files for the project I was working on around August-September appear to be intact.
