If you read in the links, users are reporting more than six months. It sounds like entire accounts have been wiped.

I think the "six months" is coming from the original report but looks like it could be longer.

The links you posted say it was local files that had not been synced to Google Drive, so it's however long people were creating files that weren't synced to the cloud without the user noticing.

Some users are saying years but could it really be that long?

Great, then submit a link to the other reports, not a blog post that says 6 months and doesn't expand on that.
