  1. Google Drive: "Your storage is 95+% full!"
    Google Drive: "Would you like to empty your trash?"
    YES.
    Go to Trash
    Select all
    Google Drive: "There's 3GB of files to delete!"
    Delete them!
    Google Drive: "You cleaned up 307 MB!!"

    WHAT. HOW are you this inept?!?

  2. Abgesehen vom realen Risiko, dass die infantile Orange #Europa von Diensten der #Megacorps aus den #USA trennt, gibt's immer noch das Problem, dass sie für teilweise immer unzuverlässiger arbeitende Services immer mehr Geld rauspressen:

    #Microsoft stellt Standalone-Lizenzen für #SharePoint und #OneDrive ein

    Expert:innen haben immer schon vor diesen Risiken gewarnt. Wer jetzt nicht zu europäischen Alternativen wechselt, dem kann später nicht mehr geholfen werden.

    Ich persönlich wäre strikt gegen staatliche Hilfen in solchen Fällen.

  3. Zero-Click-Agentic-Browser-Angriff kann GDrive-Inhalte oder GMail mithilfe manipulierter E‑Mails löschen

    Ein neuer agentischer Browser‑Angriff, der den Comet‑Browser von Perplexity ins Visier nimmt, kann scheinbar harmlose E‑Mails in destruktive Aktionen verwandeln, die den gesamten Inhalt eines Google Drive‑Kontos löschen.

  5. PC Gamer: A data center fire in South Korea sees 858 TB of government files and ‘eight years’ worth of work’ stored in the cloud go up in smoke. “Allegedly, backups simply couldn’t be kept, due to the G-Drive system’s massive capacity. But it gets worse. It turns out that before the fire, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety had apparently instructed government employees to store […]

  6. 858 терабайт государственных данных Южной Кореи сгорели к чёртовой матери. Бэкапа просто не было

    Один из специалистов по восстановлению данных покончил с собой. Катастрофа случилась из-за чудовищной халатности.

  7. In case you felt like having a confidence boost: you're likely to have a better backup system than South Korean government. #gdrive

  8. #NIRS fire destroys government's #cloud storage system, no #backups available

    The fire broke out in the server room on the 5th floor of the center, damaging 96 information systems designated as critical to central gov operations, including the G-Drive platform. The #GDrive has been in use since 2018, requiring government officials to store all work documents in the cloud instead of on personal computers

  9. @al1r4d pake kopia, bisa dedup sekalian. Backupnya bisa ke #cloud seperti #gdrive atau backup ke hardisk eksternal

  10. Tadi rencananya mo pake keepassdx buat hape satu lagi dengan #gdrive sebagai hostnya.

    Tapi rencana itu dibatalkan karena males setup rclone buat mounting file systemnya di laptop.

    Lupa kalau punya server Vaultwarden sendiri, akhirnya donlod aplikasi Bitwarden dan login ke server selfhost.

  11. Recurring nuisace: #Google Drive has, for as long as I've used it, been much less reliable than #Dropbox. The Mac helper thingy somehow keeps logging out, or crashing, or just not working. This is a weekly, and sometimes daily occurrence! I admit that it's been a while since I have had the pleasure of using Dropbox, but back then the Mac integration was close to flawless.

  12. Ordered a new huge backup HDD for my #homelab . Now that more and more of my services are going to my private cloud I'm getting a little backup anxious as well.

    For my off premise needs I'm still using my (family) #gdrive, connected with rclone.

    Internally I have no kind of raid going, but using rsync to backup certain HDD and folders from them.

    Sometimes in the future I have to take a look at my whole setup. Quite Frankenstein-y right now.

  13. Has anyone succeeded in accessing #GDrive files from a file manager under Linux?

    I tried the gdrive kioslave (using Dolphin under KDE), but it fails because --

    Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'gdrive'.

    Searching Synaptic, the only thing with "gdrive" in it was that kioslave, which (of course) I installed. DDGing for information about this finds very little, and a lot of what I find is wrong or outdated, and none of it mentions the gdrive protocol. The instructions for the kioslave seem to think It Just Works.

    (Google's desktop client is only available for WIndows and Mac, and the Windows version won't install under WINE.)

    I'm using the latest Kubuntu (24.10).

    Context (usage)

    @Harena is trying to offload a bunch of stuff from her #GoogleDrive in order to free up space, having almost used up the 15GB free limit -- but even after deleting a bunch of stuff, it only freed up a few MB and we're trying to figure out what's going on (and also it would be nice to have a more friendly file-oriented UI for doing this).

  14. Since Google deleted one of my accounts last week (and provided no way to contest its deletion or restore it), I've been worried about my main Google account. I was able to download all my Google Drive docs using rclone today.

    Here are the general instructions on how to do that: codeyarns.com/tech/2021-11-30-

  15. Microsoft wants us to import our cloud data from competing services. I don't believe in brand loyalty, but how is this any different from stealing customers?

  16. Sabato sera FRIZZANTE con #PiracyShield che blocca un dominio di #GoogleDrive, i download ora sono rotti. Spero che al governo salteranno delle teste 😁️

    FIZZY saturday night with #Italy #antipiracy system blocking a #GDrive domain, downloads are now broken. I hope heads will roll in the government 🔪️

  17. Fui inocente? Ok, mas fica de aviso: fiz o Takeout do meu Google Drive e esvaziei a lixeira. Ao subir as coisas de volta, nenhum .gdoc nem .gsheet abre mais. Sabia disso? Pois é, vamos ver se acho algum conversor pra tentar resolver isso da melhor maneira possível

  18. In some of the best news of this year, Proton will now have an end-to-end encrypted document editor in Proton Drive. This was the last thing that was missing for me to fully switch over fully to Proton from Google crap, and now I can.

  20. Backup. Файловое резервное копирование бюджетного VPS

    Предыстория. В своё время, когда мне надо было найти решение этого вопроса на Хабре, казалось, что все статьи состоят из установки и настройки Veeam Backup, Proxmox Backup и прочих коммерческих решений для блочных устройств. У меня запросы поскромнее. SLA и 3-2-1 не требуются. Достаточно восстановить работоспособность за пару часов или хотя бы пару дней. В общем, в поиске нужной статьи мне не особо повезло. Зато в комментах оказались интересные находки. Попробовав некоторые из них, в итоге остановился на описанном ниже варианте. Настроил и забыл. В качестве облачного хранилища ранее был выбран Storj. Но недавно они превратили бесплатные аккаунты в триальные. Пришлось отказаться, пересесть на Mega и освежить в памяти настройки. Заодно и выложить сюда. Надеюсь, кому-то тоже пригодятся. TL;DR Статья состоит из настройки rsnapshot, rclone и небольшого скрипта автоматизации.

  21. One of the beautiful examples of why many OKR/KPI implementations fail is the brief promise of unlimited #gdrive storage when you purchase #GooglePixel.
    Did someone checked a checkbox? Quite likely. Was it an obviously doomed idea from day 1? Well about the obvious (to some) part ...

  22. One bummer about Proton Drive, you can't edit files there. That's how I currently use GDrive - to sync editing documents from phone to laptop. That's okay, though. Proton Drive is definitely great for storage. I love the full encryption and security, and not having to rely on Google for storage is a huge plus. Proton is also nice & simple to use. It's the perfect place to restart my storage in a clean fashion. Sometimes a good refresh of things can be exactly what you need.

  23. I still need to get out of the habit of using GDrive, but today I backed up everything important from mine. I just keep seeing reports of people seeing their GDrives reverting back to how they were in April of this year (and NO THANK YOU to that - I'd lose SO much). So I backed it all up locally.

    Also, starting December 1, Google will start deleting "inactive" accounts (accounts that haven't been used in at least 2 years).

    Back up your stuff sooner than later!
