    From the posted fix it looks like the client was buggy and stopped uploading new files for months; newer version checked if they were actually uploaded and if not, removed. If that’s true and it happened to me i couldn’t trust google drive anymore. Maybe just to host a backup of a backup

      At that point you might as well use Mega. It might delete your stuff too (and it has a sketchy history) but at least it encrypts some file data prior to uploading.
