How to recover deleted Google Drive files

Google has advised users not to make any changes to Google Drive as this could make things worse. The search giant has fixed the issue and updated the support documentation, including instructions for recovering lost Google Drive files. Google says users should update to the latest desktop version of Drive on both Windows and Mac platforms.

According to Google, to recover files on Google Drive, users must first update the Drive software on their computer to version 85.0.13.0 or later, select the Drive icon, press and hold the Shift key, select Settings, and finally select "Recover from backups".

Google acknowledges the error and releases instructions for recovering files from Google Drive.

This action will activate the data recovery process. Two types of messages will appear: one indicating that no backup was found. When a backup is found, the software will display one of two more messages: either the backup process is complete, or there is insufficient disk space, requiring you to free up space to run the backup tool again.

If you have a larger drive, Google provides a command-line interface to define different file recovery paths. This is useful if you've backed up your Drive account folder to a different location on your computer or want to restore files to a specific folder.

Once the recovery process is complete, users will see a Google Drive Recovery folder on the screen containing the unsynchronized files. If the recovery tool was run and problems occurred, users should submit feedback through the Drive application on their computer with the hashtag #DFD84 and select to include the diagnostic log.
