That's horrible! I've heard similar horror stories about other cloud synchronization software. Lesson learned. I don't trust the cloud, and to rent someone else's server. I create my own local backups and don't rely on anyone else. I've been doing the same thing for over 26 years and have never lost anything.

Using cloud services, in addition to local backups, is an easy way to guard against events that could damage both your PC and your local backups. Such as fire, flooding, electrical failures, or theft

That's exactly what he had - it didn't safeguard against file loss, but caused it.
