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.

The issue has been rumbling for a few days, with one user logging into Google Drive and finding things as they were in May 2023.

Offsite is always a good idea in case of a disaster like fire.

Offsite? When I googled that it showed a team retreat planning website. How does that work?

I think they mean “off-site”, meaning that it’s not at the same location. That way if something happens at one location, such as burglary, fire, etc., your data is still safe.

it means somewhere else

When googling to find out what a word means, try adding "define" to your search. When I Google "define offsite" it works as intended.
