Over the last few years I used Google Drive to store all of my reference photos on.
In the past I'd go there and download what I needed. Then I was off to the races.
This worked well for a number of years.
Yesterday, I went to Google Drive and all of my reference photos were gone!![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
By gone I mean wiped from existence:-![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

It appears that Google Drive isn't a trustworthy place for storage now.
Thankfully I did manage to place some of those photos on my external Toshibia.
