yeah I learned the hard way that clouds are handy but they cannot be trusted to keep everything. It's best to back everything up on a hard drive, but not everybody is inclined to do that.
Applies to Gmail, Drive, and Photos
If you're inactive in one or more of these services for two years (24 months), Google may delete the content in the product(s) in which you're inactive.
Similarly, if you're over your storage limit for two years, Google may delete your content across Gmail, Drive and Photos.
