This will bring the functionality in line with the other Google suite of products, like Gmail that also keeps the trash for 30 days.
Up until now your Google Drive files that you have deleted would remain available indefinitely until you remove them from the trash. It was a great feature for users that didn’t have a lot of storage capacity in the cloud, or for those that wanted to transfer shared content to their own account.
Luckily you will still be able to recover important work or files past the 30 days period. The administrators of G Suite products will still be able restore items for up to 25 days after it was deleted from your trash.
