I've noticed what I will call inconsistencies with some of Google's free products.
I see see space taken up in my drive account by pictures but I can't find them in my Google pictures, drive, hangouts, Picasa Web albums, nowhere.
I also see things via the drive API that were shared with me long ago, but which I can't access (or remove) via the web interface.
These don't give me confidence in the overall infrastructure.
Has anyone noticed anything similarly disconcerting about their cloud services? Or are those more stable?
I'd like to migrate some work to them but I'm justifiably uneasy about what quality to expect. Are things more solid in the paid space?

I ran into a similar issue with Google Drive/Gmail. Have you checked the trash? Things stay in the trash until you delete them (and some Google services are configured to keep things in the trash for up to 30 days for automated pruning). The 'quota' page may help you pinpoint where the space takers are hiding: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota
- jjnoakes 10y agoYep, trash was one of the first things I checked.

- zatkin 10y agoI experience the same issue with Apple's Storage mechanism on the iPhone. I have 0 photos, but my Storage/Usage says that I'm using ~100+ MB...
- tomassre 10y agoI had this same issue (a while ago). I believe the solution was to turn back on icloud photos and then your photos show up in the photos app where you can delete them, and then turn off icloud photos again (convenient)
