There are some posts in which uploader has posted unlimited google drive for a free or cheap price and almost all shared drives are from educational institutes, So is it safe to link your account with them to get more cloud storage?
I’ve joined a shared drive about a couple of months ago and I haven’t encountered any privacy and data leak issue but if you really know about shared drives and how educational shared drive operates then do let me know.
won’t be able to put hundreds of TB of data in the shared drives (yes university team drives with more than 400TB will be terminated but this is unclear if shared drives will be deleted or limited)
Hey bro. what do you think of google drive that sellers are selling on onehacks for 15$ or 10$ will they last after 2022 i mean my data will be safe after 2022 policy?
Yes but generally majority of the accounts being sold here are gsuite education accounts.
Speaking of privacy, things can be protected from the preying eyes of the admins via rclone encryption to obfuscate the contents one has but only problem here is that if way too much of it on cloud then Google can mark one’s account as spam and terminate it
Nobody know if the google shared drive will live, and how many time, but bigger problem is the admin can look in there.
So, if you want keep there personal or sensible data the best way is encrypt them
I use Cryptomator, is secure and free
It is also not safe to purchase a Gdrive private account. I used to be a member of a forum where two guys were selling Gdrive Unlimited. The guys sold more than 200 accounts, and one day the drive was suspended and the guys ran away.
Well, in terms of keeping everything you upload on the google servers, and knowing a snapshot of everything you uploaded will remain there forever, I would trust it with my life. lol
if I’m the only member in a shared drive ( that’s what the drive is showing me btw) and I’m changing the folder access to only me, even then admin can see the folder and files inside it?
