Absolutely not. 100 TB of hard disks costs in the neighborhood of $1500 (using a low estimate of $240/16GB). Even if operating and maintaining the hardware cost nothing (which it doesn't) and redundancy was unnecessary (which most users would disagree with), paying that off at $15/mo would take over 8 years, which is beyond the expected lifespan of the hardware.

- encryptluks2 5y agoIt is not expected Google will kill old accounts, in fact they have said they don't intend to. Regardless, you can still upgrade to an unlimited plan for pretty cheap. And alas I proved my point that yes it is possible.
