Google Photos: If you need another reason not to trust the cloud too much, we'll give you one below. Google started sending emails to users of the Google Photos service to inform them of something that happened last year.
According to the email post officeuh if you wanted to download the data from Google Photos, the company was also sending you other users' files for a period of time. Google says this started on November 21, 2019 and continued until November 25, 2019.
Those Google Photos users requested the export data during this period they may have acquired files that are not theirs... Other users may have noticed that some of their videos are missing.
The data of users who did not request any data export from its page takeout in that time period have not been affected.
The problem was solved according to Google and the only suggestion the company makes is to ask to download your files again, but also to delete the old ones, as it may contain files that are not yours.
Google doesn't say how many people were affected theme and may never reveal it.
The latest incident confirms my relationship with the cloud. If you have data, such as photos, video, text documents or anything else, which you do not want to fall into the hands of a third party, do not upload them to the Internet.
