A mysterious message is locking Google Docs users out of their files
A mysterious message is locking Google Docs users out of their files By Brian Fung October 31 at 12:06 PM Imagine you're working on a Google Doc when, seemingly out of nowhere, your ability to edit the online file gets revoked. What you see instead is an error message indicating that you've violated Google's terms of service. For anyone who stores work in the cloud, suddenly being unable to access your data — especially due to a terms of service violation — may sound scary. And it's really happening to some people, according to reports on Twitter. Rachael Bale, a wildlife crime reporter for National Geographic, said Tuesday that a draft of her story was "frozen" by Google. Rachael Bale ✔ @Rachael_Bale Has anyone had @googledocs lock you out of a doc before? My draft of a story about wildlife crime was just frozen for violating their TOS. 6:23 AM - Oct 31, 2017 92 92 Replies 331 331 Retweets 315 315 likes Twitter Ads info and priv
