I have two drives set up to work with CloudDrive and Google Drive that store some media.
I'm not sure what happened, but when I checked them this morning (they were fine last night), Windows told me I need to format them before I can use them (in disk management they show as raw disks). I'm not sure if Windows updated overnight and something crashed, but I'm now afraid that if I format them, I'll lose all the data I have on them and have to redownload all of it from Google Drive (it's a couple TB worth of data).
Is there any way to format these without losing the data?
Up until this morning, this setup has been working flawlessly for me for months, so I'm disappointed that this is happening to me now.
