Google Drive trash items will be automatically deleted after 30 days

Please note that starting October 13, 2020, any files already in a user’s trash, will remain there for 30 days. After the 30-day-period files that have been in the trash for longer than 30 days will begin to be automatically deleted.

What does this mean for me?

A few things to note:

• These changes affect items that are trashed from any device and any platform.
• There is no impact to Backup and Sync behavior.

What do I need to do?

• If you are using Google Drive on Android or iOS, please update to the latest versions so you can be updated on the most recent in-app notifications.
