Restoring Google Drive or Shared Drive files from Cloud Backup

If you need to have a file, folder or multiple files from Google Drive restored, please reach out to us via live chat or email support@sixfive.io 

Our Cloud Backup solution has many options for discovering deleted data however it is always helpful if you have any of the following details: 

For Google Drive files: 

  • Name of the file 
  • The folder the file was saved in 
  • Location of the file (Shared Drive name, or in My Drive of a user)
  • Owner of the file 
  • Last edited date 
  • Where you want the file(s) restored to (i.e. the original location, or a different user's My Drive, Shared Drive or downloaded) 

We appreciate these details are not always top of mind, so please provide as much detail as possible so we may be able to find the item in question! Note we cannot search content within a file, only the file name and its related meta data ie. owner. 

We'll go digging for it and provide you with a list of options to restore based on what we can find.
