Google drive removes files it can't access?!

[Cris.py]

Hello all,

 

I just got the biggest F-you from Google and I'm shocked. I've been using Google Drive as a backup for my personal stuff. Recently, my disk got corrupted. No problems, I have backups right? Wrong! I've been using Google Drive desktop app and it seems that if the app can't access a file, it considers it deleted and removes if from Drive. I specifically set it to "do not remove files in drive" but it seems this option was removed and now it just mirrors everything. But even if it does mirror all actions, why did it remove unaccesable/corrupted files?!

 

I managed to get the data from the disk, and now it is resyncing everything again. Is this normal? If yes, please let me know so I can look for alternative asap!
