Saw this from shopee

A few questions:-

1. for such a low one-time fee, this doesn't look legit compared to other cloud storage solutions.

2. is it per user, meaning I need to pay more to add other users to this team drive

3. is it a corporate mass licencing thingy something like the MSDN licenses that were sold cheaply?

4. what are the risks, losing access to your team drive when Google clamps down on it or will all your accounts be banned if this is indeed illegal?

No one can help to advise?

its legit as it is
why u worry.. u can change the pwd later

Afraid if not legit, Google ban my email address once they discover. Main work email ma, cause that's where most of the storage needs are.

Also scared if banned or violate Google's terms of use then all my data become public or owned by Google, die lo, customers data.

Basically it is education account. The admin that manage sell it as a side-line profit. So, it is safe. I am using it for about a year already

Thanks for the info, at least I understand it better.

Just ensure you have a local backup in case you lose access to the account.

Careful waht u wish for. Resellers might have admin access/master account that can control slave accounts. Files uploaded might be accessible to admin

That's a major concern. Anyone can verify that this is true or not?

Kalau concern tak payah ambik, it's that simple
You are paying for an illegal services, what do you expect? The same service as what you are paying for the real price Google expect you to pay?

Benda macam ni pun nak tanya ke?

Its the School account. So if you buy it, it maybe a teacher or student account that the admin sell it..

The admin can see what you upload?

Question is who else is in your team?

The seller will create a new team drive/group with just you as admin in it, and you can add user to it if you want. But no public link sharing ability because of piracy concern as they most likely disabled it.

At least this is what i got when i tried for research purpose and the account still works now after more than a year.

Thanks for sharing your actual experience.

To clarify that "will create a new team drive", the team drive still will be under their organisation account, not standalone from Google.

I've lost tonnes of important data in team drive since suddenly banned. Asked shoppe seller but no reply. Tons of images, videos and sensitive information inside just gone
