Google drive not working?

frksmth · #1 10-09-2015

Not sure how many people are experiencing this but my google sheets are returning the error "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist". Checked with a couple of other people who reported the same thing too. I'm gonna lose a lot of my sales data if the files are lost!

Google drive is loading, but the sheets aren't working for me at the moment. One sheet opened out of the 25 in my main drive account...

Yeah I just opened a google spreadsheet without any problems, was a bit slower but nothing crazy

I think service has resumed. It's working fine for me too now. That's a first - Google service interruption! Lol

Whenever you have important data, you should ALWAYS have it backed up to more than one drive, be it a Google drive or whatever. Just because the "Google" name is on it does not make it infallible. It is awesome as a backup drive, though. $2 per month covers all of my important stuff. I just wish they had a package that was somewhere between 100GB and 1TB. For me, 1TB is overkill and 100GB IS a bit limiting. A 500GB package would be nice.

I always back up important docs... Just that there is no easy way to backup Google sheets which don't allow us to backup a real copy of the file. To back up Google sheets, you'd have to download them first... I use a paid subscription with Dropbox (1 TB) and opendrive (Unlimited), so two back-ups for all other files except Google sheets. I should probably check to see if Google sheets integrate into any other software.
