When google said they were no longer giving way free storage I bought the cheapest 100GB google one plan for $20/yr. Last night I saw the renewal email and cancelled it. After nearly 10 years of Google usage including drive, email, and pictures (I rarely take videos) I have only ~30GB. Almost 15GB of that is in drive which is a simple "my docks" kind of backup and dumping ground. I'm moving my drive stuff to a cheap VPS running OpenBSD. Then I'm going to remove all photos and video from 2-3+ years ago. Then I'll just use the free plan for photos and email for the time being. My VPS will do the rest.
