This is why you don't use Google Drive or Google Docs or any of that other bullshit.

I love seeing worldbuilders who store their thousands of hours of work in Google Docs. All it takes is for some employee to ban your account for some reason and then everything is gone.

Any time I get a roommate who buys a Chromebook, I tell them to return that shit.
