canuckamuck Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So I decided to try out Google docs, Thinking maybe it would be a layer of protection against losing files. At first, I was writing stuff and then putting it up on GD and then reviewing it using the Grammarly ap on Chrome. Went pretty good, so I decided to just use GD for the next file. The work went well, and I got the work done. This was over three days. I know for a fact that I had saved it, because earlier I could see the file with its name in the GD folder, besides some other docs. Anyhow, it tells you it is saving, as you work on it. Yesterday I needed to access it for something else, and it was gone. I went to trash for google drive and everything I had ever thrown away was still in there, which wasn't much because I didn't really use it much. But the file I was looking for wasn't there either. Typical that it was the only thing I had written which I hadn't backed up on my own hard drive. Any ideas on how to find it. I really don't want to start over.

robblok Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Go straight to google drive for support, when i accidentally deleted some files from dropbox they could all retrieve them for me. It has to be done within a certain time so be quick and it will probably be recovered. I know google drive and dropbox are not the same but the principle is and they are both run by good companies.

Thanks for your reluctant help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
