You're making assumptions of the user and their google plan. We don't know if they're paying. The bottom line is this. People can down-vote this comment all day. The facts are as they stand. Google has the right to remove whatever they want. You're free to host your own content at any time.

  > You're making assumptions of the user and their google plan. We don't know if they're paying. From my post: "Not when I pay rent to store my stuff on it." I wasn't talking about them, I was talking about my own relationship with Google, and my expectation that a vendor provides the service they promised to in exchange for my money. > Google has the right to remove whatever they want. Nope.

I haven't read their TOS, but there's almost certainly a clause about how the service comes with no warranty and you're storing your data at your own risk. So they're not obligated to do anything really. They could decide to replace all your files with RickRoll videos and I doubt you'd have grounds to sue.

Also, believe it or not, contract can contain terms and exclusions that are illegal and will be set aside in a lawsuit. > So they're not obligated to do anything really. This is what everyone sued for fraud or breach of contract thinks before an expensive, long, slow education takes place.
