Google Drive misplaces months' worth of customer data

Isn't this like saying "not your house, not your possessions" ? But landlords cannot just take or misplace my stuff, especially if I pay rent and have some rights.

What rights do you have in this case?

But if I go to drive.google.com, it quite clearly says "My Drive".

I’m going to laugh when they say that that’s the name of the feature. A “my drive”

I'm sure the commenter did not mean this literally.

They probably meant trusting a cloud provider can have consequences.

I recently set up rclone to do nightly backups of my entire OneDrive to Dropbox, I feel pretty safe with this in terms of reliability, I find it unlikely that both services will catastrophically fail like this at the same time.

Would recommend rclone to anyone, it has worked pretty consistently so far.
