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 have a local backup of everything in my NAS and then I create a nighty backup to backblaze B2. Costs like 1-2$ a month for 400ish GB. Never rely on one solution.

How do you handle encryption? Best provided option with client side encryption I'm aware of still leaks filenames.

Cryptomator to encrypt the whole drive, back up the encrypted files and their file names.

That said, I've lost data this way before. Use at your own risk.

There is an option in truenas to encrypt filenames. I don't use it, because I want to be able to restore one file if I need to.
