It's been 191 days since Google Drive worked for me

My guess is that engineering resources have been focused on the upcoming new version of drive, and are ignoring difficult bugs with the current version.

I could understand that in a smaller company, but seems poor at Google scale. OTOH, that scale also means they don't care about losing a few customers over something like this.

The issue is, Google is trying to make serious inroads into enterprise with Cloud/GSuite. This almost certainly costs Google more in reputation among that crowd than it would to fix it or just offer a refund.

This shouldn't happen. There's things called End-of-Life and End-of-Service. EOS usually happens a least a year out. Google should still be servicing previous versions.

This bug was a key reason to start developing the next version of drive...
