UPDATED Google Drive users are reporting files mysteriously disappearing from the service, with some netizens on the goliath's support forums claiming six or more months of work have unceremoniously vanished.

This was in 2016. I accepted an invite to join a Dropbox Business account from my employer. This was linked to my personal account. It was early days for this at Dropbox, and there was a bug. When the accounts got linked it completely wiped my personal account.
