@pluralistic @fish @cstross I erroneously onboarded my father into google photos, back when they were offering unlimited cloud storage, believing his photos would be safer with some backup mechanism. How naive I was… google rolled back that policy some time ago, reducing quota to 15gb, and started bombarding my parents with alerts/warnings for upgrade. What’s worse was since photos/drive shares storage with mail, when you’re out of storage you’re not able to receive emails. My parents were used to the interface and were hesitant to remove all their photos, so every 2 weeks I had to help them remove some photos so they had enough storage for mail. I got them out completely last month, finally.
