I trust Google more than a random hard drive (to not lose random bits) in this respect.
And unless your admin configured it away,
GSuite allows takeout just like GMail afaik?
- jacquesm 6y ago> GSuite allows takeout just like GMail afaik Hm, interesting ok, I will look into that. I didn't think of using takeout. Thank you. The only option I found before was to allow some random third party application access to all my files which was not an option.
- tpolzer 6y agoIt's a bit annoying for restore since it can take hours to be ready for download. Still better than Amazon Glacier though :D
- jacquesm 6y agoBetter something than nothing. They must have changed this recently, even a few months ago attempts to bulk download Gsuite data led to error messages.
- hiptobecubic 6y agoIt's Gmail, not GMail. :) Also, I believe all Google products have to support takeout, just like they have to support deletion within whatever the legally mandated time frame is (months?).
