      Google are moving towards a free-unlimited-storage-for-all model. This is their unofficial pilot program

      • Nil Einne on 29/09/2023 - 22:26
        +1

        I'm sure this was intended as a joke but the funny thing is Google have actually be cracking down on unlimited. They killed Education unlimited last year. This year they finally started to enforce the limit on Google Workspaces. And even for Enterprise they're only giving an extra 5TB/user every 90 days of their 'as much as you need' or whatever they call it now. And they aren't the only ones, when Dropbox got hit by all the Google refugees they quickly folded their unlimited offer. Box (frankly I don't know why people thought they would last) only let you upload 1TB / month or something to their 'unlimited' plan.

        • lightfoot on 29/09/2023 - 23:17

          There's nothing called unlimited. It's simply not a cost-effective business model.

          • Nil Einne on 29/09/2023 - 23:21

            @lightfoot: Box still call their offering unlimited https://www.box.com/pricing

            They just limit you to 1TB/month upload or something. (It's something like that. I haven't been paying much attention to what their current policies are, since unlike Google or Dropbox, I don't know why people expected it to last for any period of time. There is a lot of discussion on the Data Hoarders subreddit or on a certain Rclone thread if you're interested.)

            • lightfoot on 29/09/2023 - 23:29

              @Nil Einne: Ah yes, I've seen Box before. A pretty penny for a personal user, but a great deal for business users relying on cloud storage.

              Haven't visited Data Hoarders in a while, thanks for reminding, I'll have a look. :)

              • lightfoot on 29/09/2023 - 23:31

                @lightfoot: Also, love how Box puts it at $21, but minimum 3 users, so starting $63/month (annual). Marketing at its finest.

                • Nil Einne on 30/09/2023 - 00:01

                  @lightfoot: Well the minimum user limit is something common to Microsoft, Dropbox (when they were still offering unlimited) and Google. Yes it means it's quite a bit more expensive but some people are still willing to spend that if they really get unlimited storage. So it hasn't received so much attention. It's the 1TB bandwidth limit that has. https://forum.rclone.org/t/unlimited-alternatives-to-google-…

                  It's worth remembering what I said above, Google was technically offering unlimited AU$16.80/month (well different prices in different countries) until about the middle of this year, something well known to those interested in storing a lot of data. (I mean even Linus talked about it.) Despite Workspace Standard technically having a limit they never enforced it even with a single user. So most people were using that. Then Google finally started to enforce the limit and everyone started to cast around for options.

                  Dropbox was what most people willing to pay chose because they were cheaper than Google and initially letting you increase your limit as required (as their policy suggested they would). But they quickly folded. People started looking for other options and some were also looking for cheaper options than Dropbox. Some chose Box but they then got hit by the 1TB limit (which is actually for any bandwidth so downloads are also a problem). Of course those who go in early to Dropbox might have enough for their needs or at least enough that they'll keep using it for 1 year. And anyone who got in before they completely changed their plans in September may or may not find it worth keeping their 35TB for 5 years depending on their needs.

                  I think in the end most people who didn't get enough from Dropbox have had to return to Google or actually pay per TB to someone. Google's current policy of 5TB/user increase every 90 days (meaning 25TB since it's the minimum number of users) may not be that generous and they're more expensive than Google but it's ended up the best offering if you're willing to spend it.

                  Microsoft is the sort of dark horse. I think due to a combination of their as much as you need option no longer being sold directly so requiring a reseller, and that they can have performances issues or at least they do with Rclone (which realistically probably nearly everyone interested in storing a lot of data is using) means not many people seem to have tried them. So it's somewhat unclear how willing they are to increase your limits on request when you have the required number of users etc. (I've seen a few reports of success and rejection but very few. Although frankly even reports of Google for the second 90 day period are very few at the moment.)

                  And yes, all these options are quite a bit more expensive than what people used to pay Google for defacto unlimited storage. So most people have just given up on storing so much data. (I mean there are people doing Telegram etc but I think the number willing to go that effort is small especially given the strong risk it will just randomly die along with all your data at any time). Instead sticking with 2-5TB from Google or Microsoft.

        I did, but got in on it earlier, the fact that they have now put a stop to it means it's on their radar, hoping that doesn't mean that they revoke the storage as well.

  • G Wok on 29/09/2023 - 20:29

    Hopefully we're ok with it, will be interesting to see how it's handled.

    Hopefully they just cop it.

    30TB gives plenty of space to upload into photos then drive again. Uploads are woefully slow on regular plans

    • trotsky on 29/09/2023 - 21:03

      They're not going to just cop it - there's a huge black market now of unlimited 30TB accounts that people will sell for profit. If they just let that happen, it's going to end up badly.

    • xmail on 29/09/2023 - 21:32

      Given that they don't offer plans that extend to 2090 it's pretty trivial to find any plan ending in 2030+ where the user hasn't paid a dime and just wind it back to a 1month subscription, or 0gb… whatever they do they won't leave it at invalid values of 2090+30TB.

      • G Wok on 29/09/2023 - 21:41

        Yeah unfortunately I think what you've said is the most likely scenario.

        I don't think they will ban, but if you smash the uploads until they nerf the sub, at least what is uploaded is still backed up

        • Nil Einne on 29/09/2023 - 22:12

          Although there's no guarantee they'll keep it past 2 years if you're over the limit. Note also without fooling with service accounts you can only upload 750GB per day (well unless you upload a massive file) so if they only take a few days to fix it you might not get that much uploaded anyway.

        I doubt they will ban my main account, used a private browser on a vpn, a burner sim and pre paid Visa card and did not link the new google account to any existing accounts I have.

        • Nil Einne on 29/09/2023 - 22:19
          +2

          Personally I suspect myself Google isn't going to ban anything and especially not other accounts but instead just change the data limit & expiry to something more reasonable.

          However if you are concerned about them doing something to you main account how long do you plan to keep it up? Having to use a VPN whenever you want to access that account including to upload or download (and the possible speed ramifications thereof); and ensuring you don't accidentally access your main Google account via the same VPN is likely to get annoying. But can you really be confident if they haven't done anything in 2 months they won't do anything?

            @Nil Einne: I have one machine that is for just all my torrents, dodgy accounts etc, its permanently on a vpn with bogus accounts. Then the data is only shared locally on my home network via lan.

          True mate. Post of lifetime. especially for those that got until 2090 LoL they likely be dead by then, who knows ?
          I only scored like (upto 2068 or something like that). Still 30+ years of storage.

          Or may be more like data donation to google (and be inviting lawsuits if storing sensitive stuff as Google can report/use the personal information) ??

      You have to admit that it was a bit of a character assassination — the guy would definitely not be evil

              @Nangal: He's just trying to ease his guilty conscience, he's torn between getting good bargains from potential errors and supporting a 600 billion dollar company that makes it money from your personal data.
              Oh wait maybe he was only in it for the cash reward all along?
