If you go to Lazada and Shopee and you search "Unlimited Google Drive lifetime", you will see results of sellers selling such digital products for RM5 onwards. They are from "Google Team Drive".

Apparently these are educational accounts and my guess is that it is deemed illegal by Google to sell such unlimited Google Drive accounts that can last a lifetime.

I have two questions:

1. Has anyone bought such unlimited Google Drive accounts and did they work without any problems or hitches?

2. If Google finds out that you are using such unlimited lifetime Google Drive accounts, will they terminate all your existing Google or Gmail accounts?


Your answers are most appreciated.

Thank you.

It's actually team drive taken from institution that subscribe to the service. Just like post #2, don't use it to store sensitive data.

The institution also may able to trace back to you. So use at your own risk as well.

I guess you can encrypt the files you keep there

Though i don't think they are "life time"

The moment somebody finds out you're not authorized they are going to shut you down

My friend's files in a legit institution got deleted after he left the institution. Same could happen to a non legit account

If the institution stop the subscription, your files might be lost.
I have free corporate Office365 through MSDN, If I sold any of the accounts i have to some sucker, they would stop working the day I no longer subscribe to MSDN.
