Google cutting paid storage prices

Google has overhauled its consumer storage plans, announcing an upgrade to Google Drive’s paid plans – now called Google One.

Google One paid storage products feature lower prices in addition to benefits in other Google products, such as Google Play.
 
R29 for 100gb. IIRC it used to be R32/3.

Or is it not down yet.
 
$10 for 2TB is pretty nice, especially if you're a hardcore Gmailer.

Although this just illustrates how good the value of Office 365 Home is - 5x Microsoft accounts with all the latest Office apps and 1TB OneDrive storage each.
 
Yeah, let's just upload all our s**t into servers who are managed by people who want nothing more than to snoop on all our data...

So don't then. It's a service, use it and accept its TOS or do not. No one has a gun to your head.

I'm not putting you on blast btw - I honestly wish more people would do this. The blanket acceptance of whatever from companies like Google is not a good thing.

It's astonishing to me how people have "fallen" for the "convenience" of cloud services, but easily forget that all their keystrokes and sensitive, personal data is out there for these companies to peruse as they please.

Google Drive definitely snoops more than any other cloud storage service I'm aware of. It's the only one that will very quickly disable shared access to a file if it is copyrighted (ie. off the mainstream P2P scene), whereas none of the others have ever done that for me. It's not a big deal for me (almost irrelevant tbh - just helping out friends and family occasionally, and also just doing tests).

That said, if you're into illegal content then cloud storage isn't for you.
