I think I had the same moment of panic that you did. Thank you for pointing this out. Emily, you do your readers a disservice by misrepresenting the article.

Same here. I’m a college instructor, and all my lecture slides, readings, etc. are on Drive, since I can just plug my Chromebook into my classroom’s projector via HDMI and go from there. I damn near shat myself.

Okay, so now I have no idea what’s actually going to happen!

I’m not even a chromebook user, and it gave me a heart attack!

yeah this was egregious. It doesn’t even explicitly clarify in the article.

Maybe clarify that this is not actually affecting the Drive cloud service but only the apps labeled Drive on Macs and PCs.
