This is probably the optimist in me saying this, but I don’t think the data is actually gone.
Its probably some misconfiguration that is locking people out of their data. That may not functionally be different but technically it’s majorly different. My guess is there will be some announcement made in a few days that they fixed a permissions error and everyone’s data is back.
It seems to be an issue with the sync client. So any data lost may need to be restored from local cache or backup client side, wich could be a mess.
I have never trusted sync-to-cloud solutions. There’s to much margin for local fuck up’s. I can’t tell you the amount of shit I’ve had my hands in trying to salvage lost files doe to this.
