Lots of posters in that thread are mentioning “DriveFS”, something I think is related to the google drive app (maybe only on windows?). Does this issue potentially affect everyone using Google Drive, even if only through the web interface, or just those who have used the desktop app?


That thread mentioned that the web interface users also were loosing data. The driveFS seems to be a last chance to save some data that was cached on the local drive by the desktop app. Some files appear to still have a local cache


I've got a feeling driveFS is deleting data, and users are also seeing it deleted on the web version.

It's an official google product, and now seems to be called "Google Drive for Desktop".
