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.
