Last time they can easily offer 100gb free as marketing gimmick because they know average user can only use so much.

Now 100gb usage on average user is totally on realm possibility. Imagine each of those 3.5inch HDD in their DC, typically 8TB - could only hold 80 users if everyone actually use their 100gb allocation. Now make it 3 x8gb HDD for let say, parity and backup. And now put the total gsuite users into the equation. And then you calculate all the energy costs to drive all those drives. Shit got ugly real fast.

people tend to think cloud storage is some kind technology magic that just dump your files into endless void. Not many of them stop to think that those data still has to go somewhere. And it is stored in none other than the very same hdd your have inside your PC.

You mean Google should provide free cloud storage forever?

yes I understand these points
maybe I was not articulate enough with my concern

why do they need to do this?

due to increasing demand of cloud storage directly proportional to the increase in number of users as increasing penetration of the web around the globe

thus they have to consider their cost of operations no doubt about that

why do you tolerate this? because from your point of view it's "still" cheap?

for me I just don't like being beholden to them because the mistakes of many who don't and won't learn anyway will affect us all

is this a fallacy?
am I just being self-important?

feels like being too reliant shackled by them and like there's no way out from it

inb4 you don't like you balik masuk hutan lol

just checked my google storage, 1GB of 15GB used.
No problem.

Btw you people don't delete junk email/junk picture/junk video and let them get uploaded to cloud?

Put in their drive means whatever you put there belongs to them and they can use it?

Also I hated gmail for not able to filter or block emails.

You can consider the free 15gb option. It's not like google has removed the free tier.
