I have been using Google Calc spread sheet for some years, to track how 
much gasoline I buy for the car, and how many kilometres it does.

Well, one day it lost me entries. It said there was some sync problem, 
maybe it had stored a local copy that did not match the cloud version. 
Now that file is impossible to open in the phone, it stalls. I could 
open it on the computer and save to a different name, but one or two 
lines are lost.
