    Again it was just a guess, but why would a company like Google just randomly freeze all the data for this one person for no reason? Feels like there has to be a cause and effect, and the only info we know of is that the backup to scrivener the day prior. Obviously they never had a problem before to amass all the documents in there, so what just happened to get banned?

    I don’t know the total file size or the tool used to pull the content from Google Drive. It could be that the behavior looked like file sharing to Google’s servers and the policy is to shut it down while they investigate.

      Guess we should jump to conclusions then!

      Maybe they use dynamic IP and they got unlucky and ISP assigned someone else’s IP address (maybe someone doing piracy or maybe a scammer) and a big corp like Google won’t care if they got the right person and just assume its the same person as the person previously assigned that same IP.
