Sounds like they want to protect against resource exhaustion. Touch a file, it's empty with a size of zero bytes. But depending on the block size of the storage device, it's likely to be between 4k and up to even 1M.
- ec109685 4y agoThey should incorporate a minimum size for every file when calculating how much quota you have. Because they have no retrieval fees for gsuite, I bet it is expensive dealing with drives with tons of small files. Agree they are rolling this out terribly. They should have granted everyone 2x the number of files they currently have in their drive quota (or 4M, whichever was smaller).
- mayli 4y agoImagine having the filename and other non-quota-able attributes as an unlimited storage.
- steponlego 4y agoI like this. Simply store your data as the filename in 64 byte chunkers. Free unlimited drive space.
