Google automatically removes your entire Android backup after 2 months

We all know that Google Drive is a common man’s data savior, as it backs up all the data on our Android devices. Most Android device users use Google Driven to store everything from contacts and images to messages and much more. However, a recent report has claimed that Google automatically deletes Android backup if you leave it unused for over a period of two consecutive months.

Details of the report

Google is allegedly said to have deleted his entire data backup from 50 Android apps, Android device settings, and Wi-Fi passwords. There is no option to recover the data that is once deleted. The report also says that even a person who has a paid subscription of up to 100 GB can’t get any option to restore the lost data.

Google doesn’t alert its users before removing the Android device backup. The search engine starts the countdown of expiration date when someone leaves his Android device unused for two weeks.

The Rescue

Google launched a new feature in October for general users with which they will be able to easily access the Google Drive files. Google’s Drive File Stream, which was unveiled in March, will replace its Drive folder on which most of the users were dependent until now.

Unlike Google Drive, Google Drive Stream won’t take space on the hard disk.
