IceDrive lost thousands of my files without any notification. Their support escalated my ticket, then ghosted me for 2 weeks before closing it. I'm sharing a script to check if your files are actually backed up: https://github.com/rupumped/NicksAPPS/blob/main/Python/IceDriveVerification.py. Note that it requires argparse.

I also have to ask how a privacy focused backup service can possibly lose any individual file. They really shouldn't know how many files you have. They have to know much data you're sending so they can charge you for the traffic and disk space, but they shouldn't know whether it's one giant file or a million small ones. It should just be a big lump of encrypted bits from their perspective.
