Disk errors causing Dropbox to delete files
Hi community, I recently noticed some unexpected 'deleted files' activity on my account. Initially I assumed it was user error, that I’d mistakenly deleted these files somehow. So I restored...
I also had this happen to me recently. Seriously concerning when I though my files were made safe with Dropbox. Luckily, I caught it before the retention period expired. But if I hadn't, we could have lot invaluable data forever without even knowing about it.
This makes me seriously question whether ANY cloud sync or backup should be used. If you are using cloud you need a one-way only upload to a service that won't delete anything uploaded for any reason... work with local files only and backup to a local SSD only.
