File Deleted From Google Drive

@heather,

I appear to be back in business, will look more closely at everything over the next few days.

Question - What is the Tiller protocol for users to back up their files. I think users might be interested, I know I am. Many users are probably their own worst enemy. It appears the file resides only in My Drive. What is the duplicate (or whatever) that resides on our PC? It appears worthless unless the file is in My Drive. If the file (or even a copy of the file) in My Drive is compromised, then we have nothing, right? Why does that file on our PC appear worthless even when you use Google’s backup and sync? Looking for a specific reply and will review any links provided to other documentation as additional support.

I learned a lot through this process but I still do not fully understand, and that is scary.

Please advise.
