My partner has been experiencing emails coming and going in big chunks - months and years at a time - but if we search support forums all we can find are "support agents" blaming the individuals complaining about this phenomenon. It's gaslighting all the way down. Even when it's actively happening, checking moment to moment and having another few months vanish, and they'll still tell you "you must be deleting things, stop deleting them."

When did this start happening and which time period is it affecting? Since November 21, my friend has had all her Gmail emails since May 2023 go missing. It matches the time period mentioned in the article but this is Gmail rather than Drive.

This began roughly 2 weeks ago. Last I saw things had vanished since 2018. It's bad. And when it started it was just back to Dec 2022.

I can't prove there's a connection, but it's just been very aggravating when nobody in any forums believes people that make these claims. To be clear she's only asked once, but more than a few other posts have described situations that read similarly and not just "I can't find this one email".

That sounds very similar to the experience my friend had. Large timespans of emails were disappearing at a time. Hopefully Google figures it out.
