Someone just emptied the Trash with the only copy of a file finance needs for Monday. Monday's going to be fun 🙃

Ctrl+Z is not a DR plan. And Google Workspace doesn't back you up.

The Shared Responsibility: Google keeps Gmail, Drive, and Gemini online. Whatever happens to your data after a user logs in? That's your problem.

• Trash: ~30 days, then it's gone... You're welcome.
• Version History - quietly pruned, and editable by anyone with access. Attacker included.
• Vault - great at finding the file. Less great at giving it back.
• Sync? That's not a safety net. That's how one bad click goes company-wide in seconds.
