Update: finally got an email from Google:

------------------------------

"Your file "<filename>" contains content that violates Google Drive's Phishing policy and hence, some features related to this file may have been restricted. If you think this is an error and would like the Trust & Safety team to review this file, request a review below.

---------------------------

I got access again. And now it's actually being reviewed. What a terrible experience, it disappears and is inaccessible for an entire work day with no recourse. Not sure if this post caused the review/notification.

Yeah, this leads me to believe the other guy was right. The automated document checker probably flagged one of those domains leading to your documents getting removed.

It shouldn't delete and make it inaccessible in the meantime. From their email, they can limit it, while not taking away my access. It was deleted with no recourse, that sort of automated system seems broken.

I can guess why it happened, it's just fubar.
