AT&T seems down in Eastern TN too. All phones in SOS mode.
Seems pretty widespread. Anyone know what caused it?
I like this simple implementation.

The links you posted say it was local files that had not been synced to Google Drive, so it's however long people were creating files that weren't synced to the cloud without the user noticing.
Some users are saying years but could it really be that long?

You'll never get an answer to this because answer == admission.
If you want a guess, it probably was related to pruning old accounts/old files.
Yeah, the timing is suspicious. Wonder if someone just fat-fingered a command.

The actual headline is:
> Google Drive deleted six months worth of files. Here’s what happened and the fixes.
If you read in the links, users are reporting more than six months. It sounds like entire accounts have been wiped.
I think the "six months" is coming from the original report but looks like it could be longer.

Does anyone have any technical insights as to what happened here? Was it related to Google's new account deletion policy or something totally separate?
