Yeah, not the main case, but maybe the case that the "check for updated files" option exists for?
My tablet still had everything and it only took a few minutes to scrap the google drive folder and resynchronize to a new folder from scratch, so, no big deal.
(What happened, FWIW: some time in recent months google drive changed so that by default instead of first showing your top-level "my drive" folder, it shows a page with "suggested" (mostly recently used?) files. I noticed that a lot of those recently used files were just temporary things I'd bounced through drive to import into mobilesheets, so I figured I should delete them to free up space.
Except they *weren't* actually those temporary files, they were the files in their final location in the folder that I sync to. The "suggested files" list does actually have a column for the containing folder, so I should have noticed.... D'oh.)
