Surely you can keep any file in a Google Drive? The answer that they are going effectively remove files from Google Drives is ... worrying.
- sanderjd 3y agoYou can keep any file in a google drive, but you can't (necessarily) keep things that are not files, but rather references to entities inside other applications. This is why it's important for applications to have some kind of mechanism for exporting their data as files. But many don't.
- richardwhiuk 3y agoHmm, sounds like Google Jamboard has blurred what file means to the point it's pointless.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThe “files” of many online services (including Google Docs and Sheets themselves, but this can even be true of third-party, non-Google services) stored in Drive do not have the data content you might think, they are basically hyperlinks to content stored in the relevant services, so if the service were to go away they would be useless even if they still technically existed in the Drive.
