People who love people please tell them to stop using Google cloud and Google cloud products

Because somewhere out there somewhere probably made redundant is someone or a former team that decided sometime in 2017 that if you want to pull stuff out of Google then f*ck you.

Because rClone will fail if you have more than a few hundred gb. Read one nightmare of one guy with 1.5Tb to pull.

Good luck with that

Now imagine having 17 million Lego pieces made into 377 beautiful Lego models. And you give them to a storage company to keep safe.

Imagine when you got them back they are now in 1788 new models none of which look like anything other than something a 3 year old would make out of multiple coloured bricks.

That's what happens to your data when you make the decision to put it into any Google product.

Death by json, inane folder definitions and remote connection session termination at will.

Google is crap. Period.

You will get your data back but this is like leaving your car at the airport carpark and coming back and someone has recycled it into 161816 small paperweights.

You get all the car back just not in any build order.

But heh, you had cheap storage for a decade
