I was hit by this. It looks like my laptop had not been syncing correctly for a couple months, then GDrive overwrote my local “My Drive” folder with the old cloud copy.
I was going to say, from what I've seen it looks like this kind of problem: a problem with the desktop sync, rather than Google's cloud storage itself.
The sync problem at the same time feels more likely and worse, as if the files never touched Google's servers and its sync went and deleted them, there'd be nothing they could do.
