@littlest-lily said in New Nightmare Just Dropped:

can something still be “private” but shared??

By default I think everything in your drive is private, but reading what @Aborigen wrote on his blog, it seems that anything sitting on the home screen of Google Drive is also somehow considered “public” (!)

So if I understand correctly, if you create folders to store your documents they are private unless you explicitly share them. Unless they’re sitting on the top level of your drive, in which case they could be scanned (going by what Aborigen said)

He also mentions finding a workaround for locked documents, and while he won’t reveal his fix publicly (for fear Google will patch it), you can contact him for help.

@foreverlurk Huh… Except the home page for me is just all of my recent docs so uh… Great

I appreciate the help in any case I’d love to figure out alternatives but just haven’t been able to dedicate time to it lately - not necessarily from a lack of curiosity as was suggested in the article, but from being completely in over my head with IRL issues (while also not wanting to lose all of the work that I’ve put in to my writing if possible…) This is so stressful.

@littlest-lily Could you use temporary storage space on someone else’s machine?
