Did you use two step authentication? that should prevent someone from logging as you and conducting bad business or post bad stuff.<br />I don't store photos on Google, don't even have the auto backup on the phone. I do have a few documents on Google Drive but nothing that would be critical. I'm going to add administrators to my account though just to prevent this kind of issue.GFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254196892811043203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-56240916433694461842014-03-31T13:30:51.047-07:002014-03-31T13:30:51.047-07:00Steve:

They may not be free in the future when policies change. I also lost my photo Host (Webshots) so all my photos are gone from prior to October 2012 but different in that you have also lost business contacts and information which may be difficult to replace. I only put things on the Cloud that I may need to access when I am not home, but then I also have backups on external hard drives.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.photobobb.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A weekend photographer</a> or <a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-27546868762226782592014-03-31T10:10:31.414-07:002014-03-31T10:10:31.414-07:00Well, Steve, that's the price we pay for sayin...Well, Steve, that's the price we pay for saying bad things about that Zuckerberg fella...Dan Diegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607310510926688099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-5554590667590167522014-03-31T10:08:37.130-07:002014-03-31T10:08:37.130-07:00Just one aspect of "the cloud" that folk...Just one aspect of "the cloud" that folks need to be aware of. I haven't used my Chromebook ever since I went to a complex password that I can't remember. And it has trouble keeping you logged into multiple Google Apps accounts each with their own, independent instances of apps. Four mailboxes, four Google Drives, ten calendars, etc. At least apps can keep track. A failing of the web interface but one solvable with ownership by multiple accounts. <br /><br />I'd really be interested if you ever find out what the violation was. Until then, local storage with multiple backups in different geographic locations.

Really doesn't make sense that a computer can flip a switch and you lose everything.<br /><br />I don't trust the cloud, never have and won't store anything there. If google decided to delete me I'd deal with it, but that is because my work and my life isn't on it.<br /><br />Sure hope you can get your files back but it doesn't sound good. Keep us all posted.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-46574016896010837792014-03-31T05:47:51.665-07:002014-03-31T05:47:51.665-07:00What a mess.

My calendar, contacts, and blogger files are all google-based. It is time to reconsider whether that is a wise strategy.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.com
