    Google fucking up its detection algorithm is kind of a different issue though, isn’t it?

      It will still cause you problems if you are reliant on it though.
      I am also trying to slowly get enough alternatives that random Google decisions don’t cause me misery, but…

        Oh yeah, I would never rely on it for plenty of other reasons. I do back up some photos to it, but it’s one of multiple backups. I look at it as a redundancy.

            If you mean don’t trust Google for anything, I agree with that too. Otherwise, sorry, I guess I don’t understand your point.

              Well, simply that, a false positive on the drive gets the whole Google account removed. Not just the drive access, but all your past mails (and the future mails you will receive because you are unable to tell others that you had to change your Mail ID), all other accounts you made using said ID become harder to access and same for other Google services (paid or not) that you might be using at that moment.

              And you can’t even send a user data retrieval request.
