I'm at about 70gb now. Mostly due to Google photos and videos backup at full quality.

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 forgot to mention backup/ duplicate in a secondary DC location......

So far use 6GB, many with data that I can keep locally. I don't trust Google enough to keep photos and videos.

Using around 3TB on Google Drive, used to sync and backup most of my works across multiple devices. Can’t imagine living with 15GB free storage laugh.gif
