"Archiving" means that each site will be converted into an HTML export and placed in their Google Drive, and a separate copy will be converted to a new site and placed in a draft (unpublished) state in their Google Drive. They can choose to republish that new Site, or take the HTML export and move it to a new platform of their choosing.

My concern isn’t that the files don’t exist any more,I think it’s nice to zip it and add it to the owners gdrive, my concern is that the files are no longer accessible on the web. So all the links are broken, no longer in search, etc. This seems like a much larger issue than archiving and it would be cool to hear how you all decided to take the sites offline. Is it a cost issue? I imagine hosting a billion static sites shouldn’t cost much.
