Assuming the post is real it's pretty clear that his business files weren't *on the iPad*, they were stored in the Google Drive of one of the multiple accounts signed into the iPad.

It's definitely a lesson about not trusting Google with any of your shit but it's not quite that stupid.

Given that he claims he had no backup anywhere else, not on a home pc or laptop, it definitely sounds like this boob was running his whole business from his iPad.

Yes, trusting Google was dumb too, but who doesn’t have another copy somewhere else?

A lot of people work directly out of Google Drive, regardless of what device they're on.

That's a stupid thing to do, of course, but Google advertises this as an advantage of being in its ecosystem and invites people relying on the security of its systems.
