I cancelled my storage subscription with google in the past year, partially to degoogle my life, but also because in all those years they kept the price the same for the same amount of storage. It’s not like it was that much, 20€ for 100GB/year, but I have MS O365 family plan which gives me 1TB per account, so no real point in staying.
At one point I will have to demicrosoft I suppose, but I:m not in a rush. At least MS doesn’t convert my pictures to shitty quality.
I’m close to doing the same. Mostly because of how poorly they handled Google Play Credit cards being hung up in their automated system and basically stiffing me for them. They can’t be returned to the store despite Google insisting they can be. I gave up after 13 attempts…
Being more than a Google Drive and YouTube customer I have other Google services I’m not sure it’s worth the effort anymore. This is after years of paying monthly fees all because I can’t find a human at google to resolve a google play gift card issue on their end. I hope California takes them to the cleaners in the class action over the millions in Google Play they are holding.
It’s free money for them as there is no way for many users to redeem or refund these cards bought in grocery stores, online, and/or big box stores. This is the part where I think they have slided into the evil part the early version of them were concerned about.
